Are we great yet?
SirFatty•2mo ago
I guess that depends on your point of view. From the current administrations POV, I'm sure they think things are indeed great (again).
MisterTea•2mo ago
Things are going great for them. That's for sure.
roshin•2mo ago
It's been 37 years. Since then many treatments for the disease have been discovered. We no longer commemorate the bubonic plague and we never commemorated lime disease. It makes sense that at some point we would stop commemorating other diseases.
JohnFen•2mo ago
At some point, sure. But perhaps that point should be when the disease is no longer a large public health risk? There are a ton of other diseases we still "commemorate" because they're still big unsolved problems.
josefritzishere•2mo ago
After about 44 million deaths, only about half a million people die every year of AIDS. There is still no cure. I'm not sure what sensible stopping point you imagine but that doesnt seem to be it.

The president loves musicals. I guess he still hasn't seen "Rent."
iamyashpreet•2mo ago
By AIDS he meant people who are suffering from Addictive Internet Disruptive Syndrome

I mean, its health secretary is a HIV denialist, so this is perhaps hardly surprising.
