> This information should be much more widely disseminated but woke politics are more important, apparently. I believe that's two epicenters now centered around promiscuous homosexual activity, one from a "sauna" (bathhouse) and another from a pride gathering(?).
I agree with you in broad strokes. The current outbreak does very much appear to be centered around a pride festival on Gran Canaria (Canary Islands, an exclave of Spain). The media doesn't seem to be talking much about that, which does seems likely to be because being seen as "blaming" it on that community in particular is culturally verboten.
That being said, you wrote:

... but the operative word there is "promiscuous", not "homosexual". If one or more infected people were involved in a "swinger's cruise", or one of the many "adult bookstores" common along US interstate highways, the result would have been the much the same. This appears to be primarily impacting the LGBTQ community, but it's not even close to problem _exclusive_ to the LGBTQ community.
Morality judgements aside, sexual promiscuity absolutely increases our society's potential exposure to blood-borne (and "bodily-fluid-borne") pathogens like this. If that's something that we're seeing as a societal trend, we should be cognizant of that potential impact, and perhaps there are some steps we could take to limit the initial spread of things like this and/or identify them sooner, before they become endemic.
