And besides that....if Sissy is too tough for ya..... look back at the 3 or 4 comments you were making about Karen..... oh yeah....and while W is doing nothing: AIDS' Global Spread Staggers Researchers Health: Without massive intervention, experts fear disease will claim far more than ever expected. By THOMAS H. MAUGH II, Times Staff Writer More than 68 million people will die of AIDS in the next two decades unless massive intervention efforts are begun immediately, according to a grim new UNAIDS report issued Tuesday. About 22 million people have already died of AIDS worldwide and another 40 million are now HIV-positive, but the numbers are going to grow much higher than was previously believed possible "if we continue with prevention and treatment at the levels they are now," said Dr. Peter Piot, the executive director of UNAIDS, a joint United Nations program on AIDS and HIV. "It's clear to me we are only at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic in historical terms," he said. The report marks the first time in at least 10 years that the agency has issued such a global projection of deaths. In the early 1990s, many experts, in fact, thought the epidemic was at or nearing its peak, but in hindsight it is clear they underestimated the virulence of the disease. As AIDS experts from around the world prepare to gather in Barcelona, Spain, next week for the 14th International AIDS Conference, the continued spread of the virus in the most severely affected countries, and its explosion in several new regions, has staggered those who track its progression, said UNAIDS epidemiologist Neff Walker. While the rate of new infections and deaths has leveled off in the United States and Europe, the gulf between wealthy countries and the developing world has been growing ever wider. So much for the great COMPASSIONATE CONSERVATIVE.....the only thing he's compassionate about is taking care of his CRONIES and the CORRUPT CORPS CC
