AIDS is a low-communicable disease not a plague. Plague refers to a disease which is far more contagious than one communicable thru sodomy, the sharing of dirty needles or tainted blood. Remember the 'Spanish Flu' at the end of the First WW? Now there was a plague. Encephalitis Lethargica is what they called it I think. It was an airborne communicable virus which was likely derived from the brain matter of rotting human corpses. The victims' immune systems produced anti-bodies which not only attacked the virus but their own dopamine receptors as well. Since their immune systems would attack both scientists have speculated the virus originated out of bio material from a decomposing human host. It had about a 30% fatality rate and between 1918 and 1921 deaths were more than 40 million worldwide. No wonder most cultures burn or bury their dead. Plenty of possibilities for the future, especially in a time of crisis or peril.
