CARACAS, Venezuela — Former major league pitcher Geremi Gonzalez, who won 11 games for the Chicago Cubs in 1997, was killed by a lightning strike in his native Venezuela on Sunday. He was 33.
Sad Story:
Of course, this 1 fatality caused by a lighting strike is more than:
1. The number of chimpanzees infected with HIV, who have died of AIDS.
2. The number of HIV+ diagnoses that have been validated using a well-defined gold standard.
3. The number of US CASES (let alone fatalities!) from H5N1 ("bird flu").
4. The number of patients cured by AIDS research.
5. The number of seroconversions observed by Nancy Padian in the longest-running study on HIV sexual transmission.
