The number of diagnoses and the number of deaths: Focal public health point for Prevention Programs

Did I learn this or not? Because it's super interesting to me; not sure how I missed this.

In looking at incidence and the fatality rate, several things can be assumed:

Ex: The number of liver cancer fatalities is very close to the deaths; 700, 000 new cases globally & 600,000 deaths globally. This means:
  • Late diagnosis, because it takes another symptom or sign from a related body system; blood clotting problems to alert the person that something is wrong
  • Metastasis
  • Treatment is impossible at a late stage, it's just too late to do anything
From a public health point of view, we would look for ways to decrease or widen the gap between fatalities and new cases; i.e., annual screening, looking at demographics for cases, lifestyle and diet .. early diagnosis as in all diseases is the key.

Many liver cancers could be prevented by reducing exposure to known risk factors for this disease.

Avoid and treat hepatitis B and C infections. ...
Limit alcohol and tobacco use. ...
Get to and stay at a healthy weight. ...
Limit exposure to cancer-causing chemicals. ...
Treat diseases that increase liver cancer risk.

You send a clear message to the community that you are cold-blooded, calculating lying cowards; not willing to save anyone but yourselves. I loathe & pity you simultaneously. You are truly biblical evil becauss you stand in the eyes of God and lie while I suffer angonizing pain.

Life for me 1982 - 1984

Where my SKF Lab friend took me, in 1982, every event, to keep me sober 😭. He had PCP & passed away. RIP 1984 Robertson Log Cabin, sitting with dying AIDS patients: In 1982, as AIDS became a public concern, a sense of fear and anxiety spread through the population, particularly targeting gay men. The initial association of the disease with the LGBTQ+ community, along with the lack of understanding and effective treatment, fueled stigma and discrimination. The CDC first used the term "AIDS" in 1982, and the fear of transmission and the potential for the disease to spread in the general population was a major concern.  Here's a more detailed look at the public perception and reaction to AIDS in 1982: Initial Fear and Misconceptions: AIDS was initially referred to as "GRID" (Gay-Related Immune Deficiency), further fueling the misconception that it was solely a gay disease. This misconception contributed to a climate of fear and discrimination against gay men. ...
