First time since 1988, the U.S. is not officially commemorating World AIDS Day
npr.orgIt's been 37 years. Since then many treatments for the disease have been discovered. We no longer commemorate the bubonic plague and we never commemorated lime disease. It makes sense that at some point we would stop commemorating other diseases.
After about 44 million deaths, only about half a million people die every year of AIDS. There is still no cure. I'm not sure what sensible stopping point you imagine but that doesnt seem to be it.
At some point, sure. But perhaps that point should be when the disease is no longer a large public health risk? There are a ton of other diseases we still "commemorate" because they're still big unsolved problems.
The president loves musicals. I guess he still hasn't seen "Rent."
Are we great yet?
I guess that depends on your point of view. From the current administrations POV, I'm sure they think things are indeed great (again).
Things are going great for them. That's for sure.
By AIDS he meant people who are suffering from Addictive Internet Disruptive Syndrome
I mean, its health secretary is a HIV denialist, so this is perhaps hardly surprising.
