Are you in any way medically educated or work in the field?

I don’t deny the threats to the general public that this disease poses.

Some groups will be at most risk than others based on their high risk behaviors. Fluid to fluid contact....folks may find themselves in the middle of a conflagration before the fire department gets called.

You know how AIDS is spread in this country, and we have increasing rates of infection because the younger homosexuals have abandoned all precautions or are deliberately trying to infect themselves! If we are having trouble contending with the infantry....what shall we do when the horsemen arrive?

(so some one with apparently no clue, existing in a normalcy bias, goes around telling folks to get a clue...see ya in my ICU!)

I'm a former EMS/first responder, working scientist, and great-grandfather, here.

You are the one hung up on faggots, but you can't see the people in your cafeteria picking their nose with the little plastic gloves on. Have fun with that.

Sure, the homosexuals will likely die in droves, but that won't be limited to them--and most of them seem to have a death wish, anyway.

It's the average people, the 98% who are already clueless about pathogens, and who will get infected by their habitual behaviours. We've had two, nearly three generations who have been accustomed to antibiotics taking care of most everything, and they are the ones who don't practice good personal hygiene.

Pull your head out of your scrubs and observe the rest of the world--they'll go like flies if this stuff gets out and people who keep harping on the 'gayness' of vulnerability will just make it easier for the average schmuck to spread or contract it because the average schmuck has been conditioned to think of "bodily fluids" as blood, semen, or vaginal secretions--they don't think of surfaces contaminated with sweat carrying a viral load.

Normalcy bias? No.

I am successful at what I do because I readily adapt to changing paradigms depending on locale.

Keep your ICU, pal, I won't be anywhere near it. Why, there are sick people there!
