India-Pakistan
The Pakistan city where almost 700 people have been infected with HIV
2019-05-30
Ratodero, Pakistan (CNN)In a small farming community in southern Pakistan, villagers will no longer shake Hazar Khan Seelro's hand.

Five people in the 70-year-old's family have been diagnosed with HIV in the past month. Seelro lives in the rural village of Allah Dino Seelro, where people live in mud huts, use cow dung as cooking fuel, and transport their goods on donkey carts, and residents are terrified of catching the disease.
"Villagers have stopped visiting us," Seelro said. "They won't even have a meal with us."

#2  The American taxpayer is done paying for them. They switched sugar daddies. No more Benjamins. The new currency is only 'CCP goodwill' and promisory notes by the Saudis.
