Have not clicked to read the info but this could be both good and very
very bad news. For years I have said that given time AIDS may
evolve to be able to hybridize.
<p>The part that may be very very deadly is if the other component by itself
or the combination as a result of hybridization becomes VIRULENT.
Given the strong ability of AIDS to mutate and the fact that millions of
hosts containing billions of particles have provided the cauldron for this
event for the last 20 years this is a particularly possible event.
<p>I think we can forget all the chicken, cat and cow diseases. If
AIDS ever becomes virulent we might only have 15 years to stop
it in its tracks or suffer massive scale global depopulation.
<p>There will be lots of resources to go around if the world population
declines by 99%.
<p>Those who better understand the precise nucleic structure will
be better to give odds on this event but for those who only understand
the broader aspects it is truly understood to be taken as
<br>"A Clear and Present Danger"
