Hi from MIAMI

Hey y’all from Georgia joint! Love ya!

Hi, Tim from Central NJ

Welcome everyone!

Since we're going for a BIG bilateral TB increase, any thought to trying to affect Budget Resolution top line number? Or specific offsets in the SFOPS appropriation?

We’ve had a question from. MOC , what is the coast and how much US funding will help to alleviate TB

Is it also fair to say that MDR-TB has worsened due to interruptions to treatment because of CO-VID?

World TB Day 3/24

Yes! Invite your members of Congress to attend the Congressional Briefings on 3/22 and 3/24

What does UNHLM mean? PLHIV?

UNHLM=UN High Level MeetingPLHIV=People living with HIV

great questions Sue!

Airborne Pathogen Defense System—nice

Will need to look at info on 9.9B funding 3.4% in separate email for later mental digestion. brain freeze.

A global health crisis needs a global response TB anywhere is TB everywhere

Are there Republicans that are exceptionally open or enthusiastic about this?

COVID has delayed the TB response by 10 years...does that mean we are currently looking at pushing from 2030 to 2040? I can't remember what year was the original goal to tackle TB

Yes in Alaska!

Should Congress do sign-on letter to Administration to call for a President's Initiative?

How effective is the money now allocated to get the number oc covid vaccines that are needed.

Senator Todd Young here in Indiana is a big advocate of TB investments. He has been a leader the past few years and is a Republican

Gavi has good explainer on COVAX for those unfamiliar with the program or who want to refresh their knowledge: https://www.gavi.org/vaccineswork/gavi-covax-amc-explained

How do we get Administration to talk about and push on TB as well as COVID in G-7 and G-20? Congressional letters? Other?

Thank you, Joanne

Are the SDGs goals still related to TB , is it really achievable

Betsy, can you share what SDGs are for us?

What about funding for R&D for vaccine for TB?

MDR-TB=multi-drug resistant TB

Thanks, Dorthy! It took me awhile to get that one down lol!

If we're missing so much DRTB, why is UNHLM target only 1.5 out of 40 million notofocations?

that's great!

What happens to people who have TB already when they contract Covid? Do they die more readily or increase their TB burden? What about people who are HIV+ when they contract Covid?

Are we involved with Hill briefings next week; will they be promoting $1 b.?
