What’s way more mind boggling to me is that there are at least 260 galaxies per person in the world. I am not shocked at all that S3 is home to any number of cat pictures many of which are probably duplicates.

1. I would be curious how these stats compare when measured in lost person-years. COVID primarily kills the elderly, AIDS (when untreated) kills everyone. 2. We have a 40 year head start on HIV vs. COVID. Surely it can't be that hard,
