DJ-One of the wrong ideas may be we are "watching" for just one disease to be a next "pandemic"...
HIV/AIDS is still "pan-demic" παν (pan) and δῆμος (dêmos) DJ; Old-Greek "Pan Demos"means "All of the people"...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemic or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pandemic so CoViD came on top of the ongoing HIV/AIDS pan-demic. HIV/AIDS was first identified as a disease in 1981, and is an ongoing worldwide public health issue.[65][66] Since then, HIV/AIDS has killed an estimated 40 million people with a further 630,000 deaths annually; 39 million people are currently living with HIV infection. DJ, In history lots of diseases may have had "co-spread"...One disease may undermine immunity defense against other diseases...
