Winterishere Obviously South Africa is the epicenter of AIDS over the years but, ironically, it was a South African AIS patient that caught Covid and diluted it and created the omnicron variant, saving millions of lives. Isn't life strange.

Dr Souvik Chatterji @sathviksouvik (23317) 22 Jun

Racism

Winterishere Huge crowds. They clearly targeted ex pats of the various nations living in AMerica, rather than travelling fans, knowing they could afford the hotels and tickets as no flights to book and pay for , celver, to be fair.
