Every month in my bullet journal I make a 'wholesome bingo' spread. Last item I needed before I got bingo was make a handlettered quote page. I asked the chat during the #p4a2025 what quote I should do and this was one suggestion! Might do the other suggested quotes later.

Absolutely buzzing in anticipation of the P4A. Will I be getting up at an ungodly hour to tune in to the start of the stream? Yes. (But I'll be sleeping responsibly throughout).

Diagnosis is critical for ensuring babies with HIV receive treatment right away. #Danaher needs to make all GeneXpert tests, including HIV, accessible. It's #TimeFor5
Freddy Mercury died of AIDS 33 years ago today. With modern medical technology, he likely would have lived. Never forget how much progress against major infectious disease has been made in a short time. We are at risk now of rolling back much of that progress.

The WHO Global TB report makes it clear that rapid diagnostic tests are still much too hard to access for those who need them. Despite this, the Danaher Corporation fails to release an independent audit of the cost of its Xpert MTB/RIF test, promised nearly 14 months ago. #TBSky #Timefor5

What an achievement vaccines are. What a monument to our love for each other it is to stare straight into the face of something as horrific and unstoppable as smallpox or measles or polio or cervical cancer and say “You know what, it doesn’t have to be like this.”

Key findings from the 2024 Global TB Report:
1. TB is the world's deadliest infectious disease even though it's curable (1,250,000 dead in 2023).
2. The global burden is growing even as deaths (slowly) decrease.
3. We're doing a (slightly) better job of identifying cases.
