Which you already know was done to make it "the same punishment as knowingly exposing someone to other communicable diseases"

And you left out that the left lessoned the punishment for giving someone the deadliest killer disease on Earth to make it comparable to a virus that statistically isn't particularly deadly compared to many other diseases. In other words you trying to compare the Coronavirus to AIDS is disgusting and in no way virtuous. It just makes you a sheep that adheres to what you're told by your leftist masters to think. Tomorrow they'll tell you the new way to think. It must be exhausting being a leftist who must ignore facts, data and common sense to bend the knee to a master who switches positions and outrage every minute. But at least you get your workout.

Yet you have no problem with this.

California Law Reduces Penalty for Knowingly Exposing Someone to HIV

You are doing it again you toxic bastard. You switched accounts and now you are misrepresenting what yet another article says. Your link is a story about reducing the penalty for passing on HIV because it currently carries a disproportionate penalty compared to passing on every other deadly infectious disease. But of course you don't mention that part. Because you're a lying, toxic little bastard who nobody on Earth will miss when he dies.
