I love the way you twist things, sox. I never made a statement about AIDS being a homosexual disease. It took awhile, but I finally found my original post on the subject and this is what I said: "If homosexuality is not a factor in the spread of disease, why is it that AIDS is such a problem in the gay community?" Now, sox, if in your opinion that QUESTION I asked is a statement, you need to return to junior high school English class.
You continue to twist things to your liking, I assume in order to start an argument. You said, "Other than that what are you trying to sell? Incarcerating all HIV/AIDS patients? Testing everyone for HIV? How often and who pays?"
Please point out where I suggested incarceration. I don't think in any of my posts I mentioned testing for HIV in any context, but if you would like, you could post a link to one of my posts in which I did post that. As to who pays for medical treatment or quaranteen or hospitalization, who pays now? Some of us have insurance. Some don't, but they still receive medical treatment in this country. I haven't suggested any changes in that situation. What I would suggest is that we treat AIDS like a disease, not a social stigma. Social stigmas don't kill. AIDS does. What I suggested, I think (you can post a link if I am wrong) was to have us build sanitoriums to treat AIDS patients. We did this early in the 20th century to get an epidemic of tuberculosis under control.
I am sure you aren't aware, sox, that there is a special hospital in Carville, Louisiana for the treatment of those with leprosy. Why would it be different to have special hospitals for the treatment of AIDS? It seems to me that you are the one who wants to shovel it under the rug and ignore it, not me. You might find out some interesting stuff at the website below:
Finally, if you consider a death rate of 4-5% to be devastating, perhaps you would quake in your boots over pneumonia and influenza. SARS has death rates in excess of 10% only in countries where medical care is a whole lot less generally available than here. P/I is the 6th leading cause of death in the USA. SARS is highly infectious, but it is not the fearsome ogre you make it out to be. You really should do a bit of research before posting opinions that are uninformed at best.
If you think that the tenor of my post seems to indicate that I think your reasoning is shallow, sox, you would be thinking correctly for a change.
