Wow. Trump called Venezuela a territory in the 60 Minutes interview last night. That should get a lot more examination in the media than it is getting today.

So why didn’t it explode until the 1980s? Timing is everything. In the early 1900s, small colonial towns were growing. There was more migration, more trade routes, and more sexual networking. The virus spread along railway routes, reaching the Caribbean and eventually the US by the 1960s.
The Patient Zero myth is also misleading. People often point to a man named Gaétan Dugas as the first case. But we now know he wasn’t. The virus was already spreading silently in the population for decades before the 1980s. Doctors discovered it only after the virus had spread for generations.
A med student asked me today: “If HIV is transmitted through sex, how did the very first human get infected? Who gave HIV to the first person if nobody had it before?” Brilliant question. Let me explain it.🧵
First, we have to clear something up: HIV didn’t just appear in the 1980s. The virus is actually ancient. It’s been circulating in primates for thousands of years. The specific virus that causes AIDS is a descendant of SIV Simian Immunodeficiency Virus.
So, how did SIV (monkey virus) become HIV (human virus)? It all comes down to blood. In Central Africa, hunting chimpanzees and other primates for bushmeat was and still is common. Hunters got cuts while butchering, allowing monkey blood to mix with human blood. That’s the crossover event.

It’s always the same. The Tea Party protests were *insanely small* compared to No Kings, yet the media responded by giving Tea Party Republicans a televised slot to reply to Obama’s SOTU in addition to the regular GOP response.
I love* the fact that the media spent years telling us the country had changed forever because of an R +1.5 environment and when it's a D +13 environment they're like "woah there partner, this probably doesn't mean anything."
