Had this epidemic not been political we would have been allowed to do normal contact tracing and mass screening.

Too late, I'm sorry to say

You are so right. The normal methods you mentioned were decried as discrimination against homosexuals, and therefore not politically correct. It just happens to have gained a foothold among homosexuals in this country, but it's not simply a homosexual or drug addict disease worldwide. It affects straight men, women and children much more in other parts of the world than it does here.

If we're allowed to treat it as the COMMUNICABLE DISEASE it is, without worrying about whose feelings we're going to hurt, we might be able to save more LIVES, at least here in the U.S.

It's not a punishment from God; it is natural consequence of coming in contact with a virus that is transmitted easily through bodily fluids. The more you swap fluids with other people, the more you increase your chances of contracting the virus. The more you swap fluids with members of a community who have a higher infection rate, well, then that makes your chances of contracting the virus that much higher. That's nature in action, not divine retribution.
