From the last post: "He blamed the rising infection rates on infected people being too scared to seek help and fearing they will be punished."

Now just think about that for a moment...

Now we are supposed to sympathize with people who contract a FATAL disease, and are AFRAID to ask for help?????..because they will be 'punished'????

Absolutely astonishing!

I have a personal story about that kind of idiocy. I had a friend, and musical partner, Michael Llona, who was with a 'friend(?)', and smoked a joint, that had some coke in it. Mike was 27..however he started having chest pains, and laid down on a couch, while his 'friend' was there, too afraid to call an ambulance, for fear that the cops would show up, as well, asking a lot of questions. Mike lay on the couch for a bit over two hours, while all his 'friend' would do was give him a Popsicle. Mike died that evening, on the couch, because the asshole 'friend' would not call for help, for fear of 'being punished'. What a loss....for nothing, but fear!
If you're not willing to take responsibility for your 'pleasures', but will put other people in danger, then maybe one ought to reconsider their priorities!!!
