Do Fainter Lines on Home COVID Tests Mean You’re Getting Better?
Scientific American
The colors of lines on COVID tests can show whether you’re getting healthy or staying sick—if they’re interpreted the right way. It's important to remember that these assays were not developed to be quantitative, meaning they can’t officially tell you how much virus is in the sample.
Paul Drain, associate professor of global health and of epidemiology, is quoted.

From Gaza to Syria to Ukraine, attacks on health care are part of warfare
NPR
The year 2022 set a grim record — 1,989 attacks on health-care facilities and their personnel, the worst total number in the decade since the Safeguarding Health in Conflict Coalition began its sobering count. This year is on track to be even more devastating for the toll on health care. In many of the world’s ongoing conflicts — such as Sudan, Syria, Ukraine and now between Israel and Hamas — health care has been a target.
Amy Hagopian, professor emeritus of global health at the UW, is quoted.
