You're right, because AIDs was an epidemic and wasn't airborne. That means Covid is much worse (hence, the lockdown).

Fear? There are people currently dealing with the impact of COVID, that will likely live with those issues for the rest of their lives. I know this because my father is one of them.

AIDs has a 40yr head start, yet Covid did more than 15% of that damage in less than 3 yrs. Your math isn't mathin', mayne.
