Burundi has somewhat similar challenges. It was already fragile, from war and poverty, but now there's a pandemic. It faces other epidemics, and even when COVID-19 vaccines arrive, the resources for distribution aren't there. Even healthcare workers are unvaccinated. See: ~0%.pic.twitter.com/ytSrialM7K

Meanwhile, my Civic also made it to 2021. 200K+ miles, and quadruples in value when I put my bike on it but it does run. I signed it over to a friend's son, and brought my bike to NYC instead.
So I'm doing an MSF fundraiser again, matching $20K.

For the record, I do *not* like fundraising. We have so much cash slushing around the world. Asset bubbles everywhere. Interest rates can barely move. Why can't we have fair taxation, and none of this fundraising bludgeoning for basic rights—healthcare, food security. Madness.

But the way one wishes the world worked doesn't change the current plight of those suffering right now. *Some* problems are hard. Finding some money to alleviate widespread severe malnutrition and lack of healthcare during a pandemic? That should be easy, with our wealth.

This is true. (Also, yes, ideally, all this is infrastructure that should be funded like infrastructure).https://twitter.com/christina_varga/status/1475536515329667074 …
