We have selected Partners In Health as our beneficiary for this webcast. Partners In Health is uniquely positioned to respond to the current COVID-19 crisis by leveraging deep experience in treating infectious disease outbreaks and responding to emergency situations around the world.

As someone who has not always been happy with the CDC's messaging, I think their new guidance for vaccinated people is quite good. It acknowledges a lot of complexity and uncertainty with phrases like "for now", "still learning", etc. cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…

Today, I received my second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine. Then I went to a frozen lake in the lap of pure nature to dance Punjabi Bhangra on it for joy, hope and positivity, which I'm dispatching to Canada and beyond for everyone's good health. YouTube: bit.ly/5-uv
