180 Million Deaths Worldwide from HIV
June 26, 2030 - The total number of deaths from HIV/AIDS worldwide is now said to have passed 180 million people, since it was recognized 50 years ago. The most infected are to find in sub-Saharan Africa and Asia.
AIDS is the worst pandemic ever to have hit mankind, and have caused more deaths than the Spanish Flu in 1918-1919 and the Black Death in the 14th century combined. Well, you can add the deaths caused directly by the two world wars during the 20th century too, and AIDS will still outnumber them all. More than half of the deaths from HIV originates from the sub-Saharan Africa, where there now are 14% fewer inhabitants than it would have been without the occurrence of AIDS.
Even though the deaths are tragic, living with the disease put a lot of strain on the average household. The affected families are losing income, as well as get higher expenditure for medical treatment, which impoverish households even further in an already poor part of the world. This forces many families to reduce the consumption of food, which results in malnutrition for all members of the family.
The efforts to raise awareness among the most affected populations have been quite successful during the last decades, as well as lowering the cost for the medicine needed to treat the disease, but there is still no definite cure in sight.
Argument: The numbers of deaths worldwide from AIDS published by the United Nations in the report The Impact of AIDS for year 2025 have been revised for the year 2030.
Questions: What consequences will this loss of human lives have for the strive towards stability in the poor parts of the world?

Yeah, but how many people on the planet?
Even with all the wars, viruses and deaths; still there are billions of people on the planet.
In Congo, the Hanta and Ebola virus is like the common cold because the weak ones were killed off. The better fit survived and procreated at a much faster rate. Once again there are nearly 70 million people in Congo, the tougher kind.

Wow, if they would have put in place a bullet cure there would be no cases of aids to day. The future of civilization has a shelf life that we are racing towards. In times of emergency the biggest detriment is inaction. We have all the solutions to fix the "world" we just dont have the leadership, cause the oportunity cost to save the planet is capitalism. Capitalism is a disease cabable of stripping a planet bare leaving only co2 and ferrous dust. In the the end we get the world and government we deserve, only 2 questions remain, what is worth living for in a world festering in its own coruption, or is it better to die to give your children hope

The answer is to isolate people and re-locate them to Mars or to any one of the 170 moons in our Solar System. My observation is that when people are too close together, havoc wreaks, wars start, diseases flare, viruses mutate, etc. Distance makes a heart grow fonder, it also makes for a healthier society.

Poorer populations that are affected with viruses like this one simply won't succeed and will eventually give way for expanding cities.

Presently, an estimated 25 million people (over half a million in the U.S) have died from HIV-related causes since the beginning of the pandemic.

France and UK are still really strong. Reevaluation of ressources. Heat provides energy, so does water, it's all a matter of recycling your own way.
