"People with HIV & AIDS can now fight the disease with a wide variety of readily available drugs that are being produced in sufficient quantities". My point exactly, this occurred after millions if not billions were spent doing so. Are we doing this now or are we ONLY focused on checking passports and taking temperatures.
When HIV was first noticed in the U.S., the fear and panic was very similar to what we have now and if you are the one who gets either one, the risks will feel exactly the same.

Don't waste any time trying to convince this individual. Obviously multiple creditable news sources have reported that out of the nearly 9,000 ebola cases reported in Africa over 90% are fatal are clearly not as trustworthy as his in-law with a Master's from Columbia University. Who oddly enough is MY primary source of information on this matter.
