Oh yes. And the political will to enforce quarantine and isolation is not there.
It would get ugly quickly!
HIV is a simple demonstration that we don't have the political will to deal with a communicable disease that can not be cured. West Nile virus was allowed to become endemic in North America because we're still laboring under the false claims of Rachel Carson about DDT. Millions are dead of malaria because of her big lie. As a child, I used to run through the fog disbursed by the mosquito control trucks in Hawaii. It was DDT. My wife the the same. We're both just fine.
