I've been thinking recently about how there is so little empathy to others and compassion left in the world. We are in severe empathy decline and it causes statements like this to happen, classless and low.

On World AIDS Day, we remember all those we've lost to HIV/AIDS related illness and unite in our battle against the virus.
We’ve committed to zero new transmission of HIV in the capital by 2030. We’ll continue to work with partners to tackle the stigma of getting tested and treated.

The French always do the most French things
A French cyclist survived for three days after a horrendous 130-foot fall into a ravine, kept alive by the bottles of red wine he had in his shopping bag, police said.
