FAUCI DIARY ARCHIVE — Monday, October 7, 2013 https://faucisdiary.com/diary/2013-10-07 Text below is verbatim from the released PDFs, with the original line breaks. ============================================================================== DIARY ENTRY — Monday, October 7, 2013 Source: Diary Prequel, pp. 324–325 of 2026.07.27_Diary-Prequel-.pdf Words: 160 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I obviously did not leave for Spain. Was scheduled to leave on Oct. 5 to arrive on Oct. 6. My video was played on this evening. I put an extraordinary amount of time over the previous 5 weeks preparing this talk and it was one of the best that I have done. It was received with overwhelming praise as many people e-mailed me after the video was shown (7:00 PM Barcelona time – 1:00 PM DC time). People were tweeting even during the lecture. Gepi Pantaleo e-mailed me right after the lecture and said that “it was amazing”. Our government is dysfunctional with neither side giving any indication of negotiating. Likely to be shut down until and beyond the debt ceiling deadline of October 17. This will mean that I will miss several other talks including the upcoming award that I am supposed to receive in San Francisco from the SF AIDS Foundation (SFAF) on Saturday, Oct. 12. Stay tuned.
