What do the words to "Under Pressure" mean? --Is it about AIDS? Mercury's Illness? Reagan's America? Drugs?

The lyrics in part read:

It's the terror of knowing
What this world is about
Watching some good friends
Screaming "let me out"
Pray tomorrow - gets me higher
Pressure on people - people on streets
Turned away from it all like a blind man
Sat on a fence but it don't work
Keep coming up with love but it's so slashed and torn
Why - why - why
Love
Insanity laughs under pressure we're cracking
Can't we give ourselves one more chance
Why can't we give love that one more chance
Why can't we give love
Cause love's such an old fashioned word
and love dares you to care for
The people on the edge of the night
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance
This is our last dance
This is ourselves
Under pressure

I always thought it was about what was happening in the 80s, when certain people said 'Just say "No"' and the problems were more complicated than that.
