ICE has been terrorizing our communities and now has murdered two people, on camera, before the world. The agents who committed these murders must be held accountable, and congress must stop funding this scourge on our country.

Wastewater-based epidemiology & surveillance have made enormous strides in recent years, demonstrating utility in characterizing pathogen distributions in populations. However, current methods are too costly to be scalable in LMICs where the need for improved disease surveillance is greatest. (1/2)

Projecting the impact and costs of near point-of-care tuberculosis screening assays in community-based active case finding
Community-based active case finding (ACF) may reduce tuberculosis incidence and mortality but is not widely implemented due to resource constraints. How novel screening test characteristics would affect the impact and costs of ACF strategies is not clear.

Long as I live I will not be able to comprehend the cruelty of those who cheer on the act of tearing fathers, mothers, brothers, sisters, children from their communities and putting them in cages, all for having been born on a different portion of the rock we are hurtling through space upon.
I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE. This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined. It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.
