Re: Remember AIDS ???
AIDS/HIV is still there but thankfully controlled by medication.
I listened to a programme by Dr Van Tulleken on the radio the other day about the origins of HIV , it is though to have emerged in 1916 with soldiers in Cameroon shooting Chimpanzees for meat. Patient zero became contaminated by the blood of the animals and passed the virus on via the brothels . The virus progressed only slowly but as the world opened up with travel and air flights it progressed rapidly.
The corona virus is very different and I believe although we will contain each strain in time. the disease will always be with us and cause some deaths worldwide each year.
