The numbers are still very low, so I think that's why hardly anyone's bothered. Which pretty much proves the earlier comments that it's mostly spread by very close skin to skin contact. It's not like Covid where numbers went up rapidly from mid March 2020.

I don't think renaming it will make people scared - only rapidly increasing infection rates will do that.

Not wanting to turn this into a conspiracy thread but my spidey senses are tingling, first hepatitis in children in mainly western countries, now monkeypox in mainly western countries? also a lot of NATO countries and allies of the USA? suspicious

But anyway, lethargy comes over me every time I read about monkeypox…literally cannot take anymore and my brain knows it 😭😴

The joy of the unexpected :LOL:

That's just the risk assessment process, it might actually be a good thing that they haven't had to keep changing/fixing it!

With chicken pox you keep the sick child at home you don’t isolate the entire class! Or traditionally we had chicken pox parties!

Apparently there's a vaccine for chicken pox but it's not administered in the UK often. Seems to be more commonly used in the US though, not sure about Canada

Either way, and as my brief Google search suggests, schools/nurseries may (or should? Someone here probably knows more) notify parents that someone has chickenpox and to watch out for symptoms. I'd assume the same would be done with monkeypox. Think the bigger problem is in countries where schools don't seem to have the same/similar approaches to keeping parents informed and children healthy though
