I'm curious how leprosy differs from its stereotype in media? Is it very transmissible when untreated, they way media portrays? You hear how HIV is a very livable condition for many people who only have to take pills to suppress the disease and otherwise live exceptionally normal lives. Is a similar life available for people with leprosy if they are treated? Or are there untreatable factors to the illness?

I hope you're doing well, and a 2035 end for leprosy sounds amazing! I hope we hit it.

Christopher Hitchens is the perfect example. Because he was pro water boarding before hand, and it took him all of three seconds to become an ardent detractor of it.

Having never played No Man's Sky either it seems like a simple enough game with easy loot/progression mechanics that might be useful distracting/relaxing a patient in a session. I wonder if it's a nice idea to have a basket full of potential games at the ready so that you're more likely to land on something a client already plays or might be interested in playing. I doubt you have the time to become proficient with all of them, so low energy podcast games might be good. Stardew valley is another idea that might work.

I used to play DayZ a lot and most of it was an excuse to chat with friends while running across a map with a shifting list of self chosen objectives. There was no end goal or fail state, and if our moods shifted or something happened we could find another activity. It was very much like how I imagine you play minecraft with your patients.

As someone who recently emigrated from Australia to the Netherlands, your tomatoes are a thousand times better. You adopted the dark. I was born in it. I didn't see the light until I was already a man.
