A syphilis outbreak of "astronomical" proportions has been unleashed in Canada's easternmost province, according to the healthcare authority of eastern Newfoundland
Already this year in less than three months 15 cases of syphilis have been reported, according to Eastern Health. That's more than half the total number of cases (26) confirmed by the region's health authority all of last year. Most of the 41 syphilis infections were identified in homosexual men between 20 and 49 years of age, with 10 of the cases also being diagnosed with HIV, according to Eastern Health.
Rising concerns
This substantial increase is raising the concerns of medical practitioners across the province, as announced in a recent Eastern Health news release.
"Over the last ten years, the number of recorded cases of syphilis has increased from a few cases a year to the number we are seeing today," reported Dr. David Allison, a medical officer of health at Eastern Health. "By informing the public of the increased risk of contracting syphilis and enhancing our efforts to identify and treat those who may have come into contact with it, Eastern Health hopes to prevent the further spread of this infection, as well as HIV."

Just shocked, shocked I tell you.
I wonder how many politicians in Dee Cee are worried?
Perversion ping
Venkman: Or you could accept the fact that this city is headed for a disaster of biblical proportions.
Mayor: What do you mean, “biblical”?
Ray Stantz: What he means is Old Testament, Mr. Mayor, real wrath-of-God type stuff!
Venkman: Exactly.
Stantz: Fire and brimstone coming down from the skies! Rivers and seas boiling!
Spengler: Forty years of darkness! Earthquakes, volcanoes!
Winston Zeddemore: The dead rising from the grave!
Venkman: Human sacrifice! Dogs and cats, living together! Mass hysteria!
About a year ago I said the cdc was not telling the truth about the diseases among the homosexuals.
Cause I guess that would be homophobia.
Well good luck at the disco, guys.
Astronomical outbreak centered around Uranus?
I could care less about the queers no mater where they live.
Great news. Funny how God works.
Not really a surprise
That’s why most people consider the homosexual lifestyle disgusting: because we’re supposed to. You just can’t say it because saying it in public is considered worse than having sex in public.
Gee... that’s terrible.
How many are repeat offenders?
As for pure numbers. There are only around 500,000 people in Newfoundland & Labrador. That means the Homosexual population is around 4,000 - 9,000. k.
That’s a darn shame.
I’m surprised it took 6 posts.
“Astronomical”, a description of sex on uranus?
You’re supposed to kiss the COD, dammit!
“Private rot”
If a gay man chose to abstain, he would not ever get this disease.
It's what they do. That "Modern Family" scenario is just bullsh*t. The vast majority of them have new partners weekly.
