The More Things Change...
An item in today's NYT reminded me of an NPR interview I'd heard while driving home from Oakland in 2008. I was so impressed that I googled the epidemiologist being interviewed and ended up exchanging e-mails with her as well as blogging about how impressed I had been by her courage and forthright style.Sadly, today's piece in the times suggests she also had an accurate crystal ball; the global financial crisis, then just a dark cloud on the horizon, seems to have made matters worse by drying up the money that was then doing some good by paying for treatment. Unfortunately, the ignorance driving spread of the disease persists.
