PERSPECTIVE:
I'm trying to imagine the republicans back in the 1980s and 90s being as ridiculously cavalier and nonchalant about the HIV/AIDS crisis as they are now about #coronavirus today which is much more easily transmissible.

It's impossible for me to imagine them telling people to don't worry about exposure, don't worry about protection, no one really needs testing, and oh by the way, hurry and get back to work back then.
On the contrary, the opposite occurred. Not only were they terrified of anyone suspected of infection, they stigmatized individuals who became infected as well as wrongly and maliciously labelled entire demographic groups. People lost their jobs and were shunned by society.
