(14,779 posts)The comment was to EUROPEAN AIDS rates. I used Easterm Western and Central European numbers, for those are from sources as to rates per one hundrend thousand. I did NOT cite Germany for I could not find a PER 100,000 rate for Germany or even the US. I did find a per 100,000, but divided up by race, thus I used the WHITE numbers as the best I could find.
I was pointing out the difference between Europe and American rates. I did NOT cite Germany for the person I was responding to referred to as Euroope NOT German.
Germany infection rate .01% of total population, US is .06% (as is Swizerland's), BUT Russia WHICH IS PART OF EUROPE is ,03%, the Ukraine is 1.6%.
