confirmed cases in the US surpassed china recently. deaths are quickly following suit

but i am starting to come around to the idea that china may be fibbing the numbers.. even though things here in chengdu are basically back to normal: schools, gyms, restaurants are reopening, etc

Void, if you had approached this as "Why do you say that AIDS was only cared about once those people died" it would have been a very different conversation. Instead you approached with "that's ridiculous SJW conspiracy garbage" without even knowing basic facts about the situation.

Just acknowledging that you don't know everything before proclaiming your gut instinct correct would be a giant step in the right direction, especially when you know you are talking to two people who know a lot more than you about the medical system and medical history.

However, this is also why Cuffs is a better contributor than Skinned or I. He's more patient.

Gilead was smart enough to rescind the orphan drug status for remdesivir. Prior to that they had a 7 year window of exclusivity.

In other news. We're up to 8 strains now. Though none of them are more lethal than the previous strains.

Gilead is a bunch of parasites.

If you believe China's numbers, you shouldn't be allowed to breathe let alone vote.

The lack of the Reagan Administration's response in the early years of the AIDS epidemic is pretty well-documented. I don't, however, see how it's really relevant to covid-19 though.

Yeah, I should have read back further in the thread. I thought at first this came up with respect to Trump's (Reagan's) response to covid-19 (HIV). Certainly the issues with our healthcare system present during the 80s are still alive today, unfortunately.

in this thread its a chore to track shit. dudes are on at different times, even simple conversations can be 6 pages deep.

ya ive talked to some older folks and they have talked about how this is similar to aids in the social sense and the govts response. socially in how there was a lot of misinformation on spread, who is affected, etc. govt, well that's obvious.

honestly after reading about the 80s aids epidemic I never thought id live through that type of ignorance, at least not at that scale. but, here we are, living it. my neighbors are having people over all the time, TP runs, science denial, super churches refusing to follow orders. its fucking wild.

Despite technological, medical, and scientific advancements, humanity is roughly the same. It is indeed wild.

Big difference now is that we have online communities for the crazies to all congregate and share their bad ideas together. Like PARD!
