What I don't understand is why the homosexual community aren't demanding quarantines, since they are the ones most at risk and could save thousands of lives, and could have saved tens of thousands of lives, if the early HIV infected people had been quarantined to contain the disease, when it was first discovered.
You're in good company with this idea..only Castro has tried quarantining those who are HIV+, and EVEN HE realize he was wrong and changed his mind.
He**, the CDC (Centers for Disease Control) didn't close bathhouses or quarantine patients the first time around, nor did they require reports be sent to sexual partners (as they did for other STDs). Why would anyone expect the "gay community" to police their own if the government entity responsible for identifying and tracking disease outbreaks never did?

Maybe because a high percentage of that "community" would find themselves quarantined?
Activist Courtrooms have essentially defined "human behavior" as "free speech". Quarantining a preferentially preferred "lifestyle" would be an act of "discrimination".
I learned all this up close in San Francisco when the AIDS crisis in America, began. The few sensible gay leaders who did speak up for sensible measures were utterly silenced By Any Means Necessary.
You don't understand those spreading the disease are special, so they should be treated special./sarc
