The sobering truth Is that thIs pandemIc Is far from over—
In fact, It has just begun to unfold.
By 2005, It Is projected that more than 100 mIllion people worldwide wIll have become Infected.
On the contrary, with 40,000 new Infections every year In the UnIted States, and 6 mIllion new Infections around the world, what we are seeing now Is

only the begInning .

After almost two decades of slow and steady progress In thIs country, far too many are anxIous to belIeve that the worst Is behInd us.

We are at a crItIcal juncture In our battle.
