This is when we were talking about just “pausing” PEPFAR funds. Note projections here are for only 7 countries— not globally.
![new infections to reach about 103 thousand [95% UI: 81-126 thousand] under the Executive order—realistic scenario, and about 81 thousand [95% UI: 64-98 thousand] under the Executive order-proportional scenario. Even under both Waiver scenarios, excess new infections reach 50 thousand [95% UI: 37-65 thousand] when PEPFAR is resumed after 8 weeks, and 35 thousand [95% UI: 19-50 thousand] when PEPFAR is resumed after 4 weeks (Appendix Table A3).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v4jfgpnpcxd2be2hekn5iocf/bafkreidp2njc6z74kha7nulxczqje22tp5kdhhoi6kxlwbdvyagrf46k4y@jpeg)
