> Millions of people have died of AIDS Note, people don't actually die of AIDS. They die of something else, that their body can't fight because they have AIDS. Which leads to the interesting question: what counts as a death by AIDS in those statistics? Are some deaths that might be rooted to AIDS not included somehow because of causality uncertainty? (it's not because you have AIDS and die that you died because of it) > around 18 per day in the U.S. as of 2014 That's... less than 7000 a year, so according to the data from OP, less than homicide (15k), or illegal drugs (17k).
