Talk:Demographics of Russia
From Academic Kids
Here's this bit the U.S. Department of State had with the "HIV/AIDS" and "population aging" sections:
- The high growth rate of AIDS cases will have negative economic consequences, as investment will suffer from the diversion of private and government funds to AIDS treatment. The problems of population aging will be magnified, especially since about 60% of infected individuals in Russia are between 20 and 30 years of age.
Feel free to add it if you can find a way to do it without feeling like a callous bastard for reducing terminal illness to negative economic consequences. signed, the typically aspiring-to-logic-and-NPOV Koyaanis Qatsi

= Cholera in Russia?
I live in Russia and I've never heard of any major cholera outbreak, and the few minor outbreaks that occurred were treated with utmost resolution. Cholera is not a significant risk for any region of Russia I've been to (can't say for remote ones). Either provide credible statistics or get your facts straight. dscsdacadsdc
