9,000 people today died of AIDS (Wallis)
September 29th, 2007 | Published in Health, Morality, Quotes
Today, nine thousand people will die of HIV/AIDS. And almost all of them will be poor…. Today, fourteen thousand new people will be infected with the disease, most of them in poor countries. Forty-two million already have it, twenty-two million have already died…. The world has never seen a public health crisis like this.
–Jim Wallis, God’s Politics (2005), p. 287
