'All your friends were dying': revisiting the horrors of the Aids crisis

[SWBTATTReg]

3. I don't want to remember these times, but it is good to have such articles/etc. out there for

others to read about, learn about. If anything, the fear was actually very tangible in the communities back then, we all knew that something was going on, but what it was, was still unknown, still mysterious, and scary.

After a long bout of many dying every month, it seems like, the numbers of those dying have dropped significantly over the last 20 years or so, thank God and thanks to advances made in medical science. COVID is a poor comparison vs. HIV/AID, the learning curve that is, so in another way, medical science has advanced so much. What gets me for the most part, is that so many (especially the tRUMP nuts) ignore common sense medical advice to get the vaccines, mask up, self-isolate, if need be, etc. and instead, end up killing their friends, family, etc. all around them (and even themselves).
