[net.motss] AIDS statistic in DISCOVERY magazine

kgdykes@watbun.UUCP (11/21/85)

 I dont have the issue with me, but it basically said:
 
   The chances of being hit by lightning are 1 in 6000,
   If you are a heterosexual who doesnt take intravenous drugs
   or blood transfusions, your chances of catching AIDS
   are 1 in 1000000. So, you are almost twice as likely to be
   struct by lightning than to catch AIDS.
