Bill Gates is big on bringing attention of the malaria threat.
I side eye all the celebrity named charities. Seems they are securing ongoing salary for themselves by the being the figure head.

Where is that rolleyes emotion when you need them.
The other thing that friend's son said (and I have no proof either way) is that when people die as a result of complications from kidney disease in most cases it is another condition that is listed/coded as the actual cause of death, For example he said that those on dialysis often get fluid around the heart and the cause of death noted is usually cardiac arrest, not kidney disease, even though the heart problems have occurred because of the kidneys.
The other thing is that those 'famous' people who have had a transplant don't usually promote the disease, like for example any number of breast cancer survivors. I do get very annoyed reading about some actress/singer and her 'fight for life'!
TV reporter in Miami:
"Wind is picking up"
"Oops it's getting very gusty"
But throughout this his hat remains firmly attached to his head.
I wonder if Trump's Mar Largo resort will be Ok?. If so maybe some Florida residents can get free Acom there!!
Well we know he won't be offering relief to the Earthquake victims of Mexico.

For all of Trump's (many) faults, can anyone imagine the mass media swallowing both their contempt and 'narrative' of evil Trump by actually reporting something positive?
That won't happen. The recent ABC Q&A was again lacking in truth when comparing Trump with FDR. The Q&A narrative was that unlike Trump, FDR called out the naz_s. Except history tells us that FDR did not use the words naz_s when he reiterated his policy of isolationism and neutralism in 1940 preferring that US boys not be sent to war and defence is for defenceYou may never know (watching the Aussie media). The substantial US Navy aid after the Indonesian tsunami of 2004 rated hardly a mention because it was headed by the evil George Bush.

I think he may have been referring to some kind of coding used to report causes of death, where there is only one number/code. But, this is not my area at all so have no idea if that is correct or note. I know that chronic conditions are listed on death certificates as have seen them on family members' ones.Kidney failure is easily treated. So the cause of death is usually something else as Line 1. Kidney failure does get recorded on the death certificate but not as Line 1
In the medical certificate as to cause of death there are 3 sections:I think he may have been referring to some kind of coding used to report causes of death, where there is only one number/code.

Yes. That's what MrP would say too. We are being manipulated by the media. Unfortunately Trump is also willing to provide the ammunition. So who knows where the truth lies.You may never know (watching the Aussie media).

They did: they reported his flying to Houston to meet the victims there. Sure, they all said he was a bit late, but they could have said nothing.
In any case, Trump has his own news network, like any other classic dictator with its propaganda machine.
Sounds like CNN
And I think that sort of comment devalues the terror and horror of the suffering under REAL dictators such as Stalin and Mao, doesn't it?
Oh goody, does that mean I'll make it to 5,000 posts faster?Test post...
