.@elonmusk says that no one can name a person who died from his aid cuts. In fact, I've met the kids who are dying, and I've talked to the families who lost children. In my columns, I've cited many, many names of people who have died because of Musk's aid cuts. A few examples:
*Yamah Freeman was a 23-year-old woman who died in childbirth because Musk cut funding for the diesel for ambulances in her part of Liberia. She couldn't get to a hospital and died as people were carrying her there. I talked to her parents and sister in their village.
*Gbessey Kiadu, age 1, died of malaria because of his cuts to malaria medication in Liberia. I talked to his mom in her village.
*Ibrahim Koroma, an infant, died of AIDS in Sierra Leone after he interrupted HIV supplies. I talked to health workers who cared for him.
*Achol Deng was an 8-year-old girl with HIV in South Sudan who died when Musk cut funding for the health care worker who provided her medicines. I talked to the healthcare workers.
I could go on and on. In almost every village you go to in South Sudan, Uganda, Liberia, Sierra Leone or other countries I reported in, you find people dying because of aid cuts. I challenge Musk: Come with me on a reporting trip, and we'll talk to these moms and dads, and you'll see the dying children themselves. I think if you see the kids whose lives are at stake, maybe you'll change your mind.
The richest man in the world using poor people (whose only "crime" is having chosen the wrong parents) as a backdrop for photo ops.
Immoral and pathetic.

Imagine a world in which monitoring cough via daily used smart devices (smartphones, wearables, among other) can predict and prevent COPD exacerbations, reducing hospitalisations. Evidence suggests - possible!
A theoretical scenario in which a COPD sufferer tracks their cough👇

10M Europeans speak Catalan (like Swedish).
If the EU denies the request to make Catalan official, the message it sends is clear: Catalans will have fewer linguistic rights than other Europeans unless they become a State.
Is that the message you want to send?

Siempre he sido escéptico con las campañas para promover el casco entre los usuarios de bici. La bici no es peligrosa, lo peligroso es obligar a la gente a ir entre coches. Si queremos que la gente use la bici y lo haga de forma segura, menos casco y más carriles bici.

.@USConsulateBCN molts catalans i catalanes apreciem el fet que feu servir el català per xarxes socials de forma habitual i normalitzada. Així mateix, seria lògic que si cobriu Catalunya i Andorra el vostre web tingués una versió també en català. Gràcies!

🫁My cough trend update: about the same, with the cough rate of 0.9 coughs / hr.
Well… everyone coughs now and then! And if you say ‘not me’ - how do you know, are you tracking it?
I’m glad no nighttime coughing, my post-viral nighttime cough was so annoying back in June!

Fascinating! I was also suprised to discover that behavioral cough suppression techniques can reduce chronic coughing by ~40% after 4 weeks of education and practice (better than some novel multi-billion $ antitussive molecules out there🤯)
