    Well TBF outbreaks of AIDs causing viruses probably wasn’t high on the list in 1386 but I agree with your sentiment.

      AIDS-causing viruses? H5N1 is influenza… Have I missed some kind of news that we can get AIDS from the flu now??

        Bird Flu is not just regular stomach flu. Avian Influenza is a threat on a larger scale, but I guess I might have been misinformed on the connection to auto-immune disease as the two are often presented as a singular issue when brought to attention (an immune compromised individual will very likely die from H5 infection).

          Link? Or are we just trolling the surprisingly large overlap of people who are unjustifiably freaked out by AIDS and people who think wearing masks is limiting their freedums?

          No way… Masking up makes the person not look as cool doing it. It doesn’t feel as good.
