the final answer to the gay question?

um... if it is spreading by skin contact... wouldn't normal people be infected by just shaking hands with infected people? if that's possible, this thing could easily affect the regular population.... and then boom... a new black plague!

Yes, normal people can be infected, too. But it's much more easily spread by anal sex, as the article states. And homosexual men have lots of anal sex.

I like how the journalist reported the results

"The Castro district in San Francisco has the highest number of gay residents in the country, according to the University of California, San Francisco. One in 588 residents is infected with the new multidrug-resistant MRSA strain, the study found. That compares with 1 in 3,800 people in San Francisco, according to statistical analyses based on ZIP codes."

A new disease, spread by contact and it has localised dispersion :o what a suprise ;)

i read a study, a while ago, that suggested that bacterial infections in hospitals could be reduced by something like 75% if medical practitioners used gel alcohol to clean their hands several times a day.

Ideally people should use the alcohol hand gel or wash their hands (and do it properly) after seeing every patient.
