Quarantine!
Should have done it for AIDS and it would not have spread.

“Should have done it for AIDS and it would not have spread.”
Aids has not and will not spread beyond the male homo and the intravenous drug user population. Aids is spread through anal sex. Those who participate in that are at risk of aids. Even the part that is spread through needles indirectly is related to anal sex.
A quarantine wouldn’t have helped.
It's a wonder there hasn't been a global pandemic yet, considering the numbers of people living in war zones, in unsanitary and crowded refugee camps, without their basic needs.

I treated some the first aids patients in the early 80s. You are absolutely correct.
The potential for the spread of Ebola is terrifying.
Quarantine HIV/AIDS patients? Hell, the CDC tried closing the freaking bath houses and glory holes back around 1984 and there were riots up to and including burning police cars in front of city hall.
Just think, any infected person in Nigeria can get on a plane and be in the US before they’re even bleeding from their eyeballs.
Sweet dreams.
Who do you plan to quarantine? Africa?
The incubation period is up to 21 days.
There are several potential patient zeros going back to the 1960s.
But you’re right, if we were more honest about the homosexual epicenter and bathhouse culture spreading the diseases, and fought the homosexual revolution then, we’d have had far fewer deaths.
But they made it a mainstream STD, describing it as equally dangerous to heterosexuals and glamorizing people who got it from blood transfusions as the normal patient, instead of admitting it was overwhelmingly gay men and people were closest to (including their girlfriends and addicts they shared needles with).

There is a call out there to remove the restrictions preventing homosexual men from donating blood. Don’t want to hurt their feelings.
