What about HIV? 10 years "incubation" period and 100% mortality. If it was as contagious as the flu it would have killed almost 100% of the human population. Isn't it a scary thought?.

It is not the only virus. Rabies, also has 100% mortality.

How has 100% mortality been shown?

From what I've read in the press, if you don't take the drug cocktail regularly, it's 100% mortality.

I remember that first newspaper articles on the mystery disease in the early 80's. They were only 1 inch or 2 inches long and talked about mystery cases of Kaposi's Sarcoma at first, then mysterious pneumonia cases. Then a tidal wave of longer articles as it became an epidemic.

A former roommate of mine was a nurse in Toronto General's AIDS floor (or wing.) One day she said to me about her work, "All that crackling." The advanced patients' lungs crackle as the ventilator forces their lungs to expand and contract.
