"We really need to set up large scale screening tests around protocols for workplaces, communities, schools, nursing homes and we haven't had that," says @jonoquick. "We aren't doing anywhere near the amount of testing we need to do."

That “combatting the epidemic is ultimately about social justice, human rights, and accountability” as true today when I wrote it or Zachie lived it 20 years ago. @DukeGHI @RockefellerFdn @MSHHealthImpact @GlobalHealthOrg.
@jonoquick Ring the Alarm - Rouse the Leaders - citizen activists and social movements must mobilise the public and hold leaders feet to the fire - Aids activist Zackie Achmat showed that combatting the epidemic is ultimately about social justice ,human rights and accountability.
