    We slowed it down enough to give scientists time to search for treatments to protect and cure. We aren’t there yet and we will continue dying until we are, but many more have a chance than would have.

    (And we know certain snake-oil cures don’t work so we’ve stopped killing people under the “What have you got to lose? question. The obvious answer was, “My life.”)

    David for putting off dying
