As many may know, I live on campus, which for me means cut off from civilization. I found out about “swine flu” yesterday when I passed a bulletin on the board in the library. So I decided ok, it’s gone really bad now... I can’t be that clueless.. Have to find out what’s happening. So I went online, read the news, then read a couple newspapers from over the weekend. Shock of shockers when I found out how big a deal it was. An even greater shock was how much investment has been made in its prevention. Then it came to me. We always say we’re waiting on the day when people treat HIV/AIDS like diabetes, but what about the day when they treat HIV/AIDS like swine flu?

*The government has invested in over 6 million masks for distribution out in Mexico. What if they invested in 6 million condoms?

*Bulletins are posted all over informing people about how it is spread, how to prevent it etc. What if information on HIV/AIDS was that readily available?

*Everyone is talking about it, and taking preventative measures to make sure they don’t get the flu. Suppose that happened with HIV?

It could happen.. couldn’t it? Both can be passed on to other people, both can become an “epidemic”, both can cause death, the spread of both can be prevented… think about it….

Just something that came to me while reading the paper. Your thoughts??
