Just because syphilis is treatable doesn't mean we should forget about preventing it.

2. Oh, absolutely. Has there been any talk of quarantining Breitfart at this point? n/t K&R

4. What, lock him up with animals being screened for rabies?

Won't that just start the problem all over again? The poor things may not have rabies, but after a few months alone with him, god knows what they'll be carrying ...

3. Breitbart needs to dedicate the rest of his life to the fight to prevent syphilis.

5. There's the story about the ambulance and the cliff.

There was a cliff that people would occasionally fall off of, and many survived for a while. So the town dedicated a special ambulance to sit at the foot of the cliff 24/7, to carry any fall survivors to the hospital. It worked -- the traumas from the falls were generally treatable.

But the costs were high: not just for the hospital treatment but also for the ambulance and its staff 24/7.

Then someone got the bright idea of building a fence at the top to keep people from falling off of the cliff. That was more effective, and cost a lot less.

Public health moral: an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
