Looking at the stats around the world it seems that infections roughly double in the first 4-6 months then start dropping, so these figures are worrying but not unexpected.
The U.K with a similar population has had over 3,500 cases and The Netherlands with a quarter of the population over 1,200. U.S. has had over 22,000 confirmed.
Still, it's something for the anti-LBGT "troupe" (sic) to clutch their pearls over I guess. ????
