HIV Killed Millions (And the Government Had No Restrictions)

 HIV vs Covid-19 

HIV killed Millions of people, and it continues to kill people today. If you contract HIV you will die in time from an HIV illness.  

So where are the Social Restrictions for HIV. 

Is it we didn't want to be rude to one of the new protected classes of people, (Homosexuals?) 

In fact the government passed laws to protect those with HIV, let them continue to work, let them continue to interact with any number of people.  

Well sure, because HIV is different. You can't get it from a sneeze.  You can't get it from a sneeze until it mutates like Covid has done.  The more people that get it, the more chance for a mutation. And if you are talking about a virus that lowers the body's ability to fight a virus then it is all the more likely. And HIV has mutated. But no lockdown, no laws against spreading it. Sure have sex go ahead. 

But Covid, that has killed thousands requires us to crash the economy, to lose jobs, close businesses, fundamentally change everyday life. 

I expect things to be consistent. When they are not, I tend to believe that there is something more going on. 

Is something more going on?
