Some people believe that Charles Darwin may have acquired Chagas Disease during his travels.

I'd say it's not going to be the new HIV/AIDS because it's not going to have some sort of "gay cancer" stigma around it that prevails for far too long.

I agree with that, but I wouldn't be surprised if those who are against immigration and the rising Hispanic population in America will use this disease to stigmatize Hispanics. Meaning, "don't let them in! they are diseased!"

I remember when SARS and then bird flu were going to shut down the world. I distinctly remember it because I read once that "the h2n5 virus could mean the cessation of the AFL season".

This week I'm much more concerned about face-eating zombies in Miami.

AIDS is AIDS and in my opinion nothing can replace AIDS or be the new AIDS. Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome and Chagas Disease are what they are: terrible, incurable diseases. Nothing more, nothing less.

And it's sensationalist to call chagas "the new AIDS." It was years before we understood the viral nature of HIV and longer before we had any effective treatment. |
