This is mass hysteria. But it's also a big deal. If you've been a ex-pat you will have seen it before, if you look. Mass hysteria is about the health of populations. Often about stresses that are not necessarily obvious but also obvious. Travel and living in a foreign country is stressful. (Havana syndrome) Working in a factory on a low wage is stressful (mass fainting) Sex Stuff (Penises stealing) But while you ignore the real reason and blame something else, that's not good. It's why we still hurt witches for instance. Which you will see articles on HN that are witchcraft and people still believe them and worse people don't call them out as untrue.
