The 'Love' Cruise and the New Bicho: A Perfect Storm for the Shipping Industry
An outbreak of bicho linked to a luxury cruise sold as an oceanographic expedition has revealed a very different reality: the ship was, in fact, a sens party cruise. The news, which exploded on social media and press 18 days ago, has triggered a wave of skepticism and dark humor, but also serious questions about the economic impact on the tourism sector.
Origin of the outbreak: Sens, rats, and lack of transparency
According to leaked information confirmed by several media outlets, the outbreak originated on a cruise that promoted "intense encounters" and risky sensual practices. Several passengers allegedly contracted bicho after contact with rodents (rats or mice) during parties that included zoophilic acts, according to comments in discussion forums. The official version claiming it was a alucinación to spot penguins has been debunked by the publication of photos and passenger testimonials, although no images of the 150 travelers have been released so far.
Double standard in outbreaks: Migrants vs. Luxury Cruises
The debate has highlighted a striking contrast: while ships carrying migrants from unsanitary regions do not generate bicho outbreaks (or they are not reported), a high-end cruise does. This has fueled suspicions that the real origin of the bicho may have been exaggerated or fabricated to justify a new wave of restrictions. Some analysts suggest that information intoxication benefits shipping companies, which have already seen a drop in bookings.
Where is the proof?
The lack of images and videos of the cruise passengers, in an era where everything is recorded, has generated a current of skepticism. Many wonder if the outbreak was real or just a smokescreen. The question no one answers is why, if there were 150 people on board, none has shared their experience on social media. Shame? Instructions? Or did such a cruise never exist?
