Monkeypox

[thaliamay]

It always angers me when at first the news story says only 1 person got it, not long after it was a couple people, now its creeping about widespread country to country? Just how did it get out of control surely that 1 person originally was isolated as soon as she/he knew, yes they could've in the meantime passed it on to say those close to them, but how does it snowball out of control so fast? Feels like there should be some kind of tighter rules but I don't know what, I know we can't predict some things but it's crap feeling so useless to do anything and makes me paranoid because of Covid and the fact that we're only just coming out the other bloody side of a god awful pandemic. I don't think the world can handle another. There's so much fear among many of us with the war going on & threats of it reaching us on the news (I'm hoping is total clickbait)
Just give us a bloody break

Isnt that the exact way the virus gets out in 28 days later.

They say that films are made to foreshadow "their" plans so they can claim they told us .

Also there’s the one with Bruce Wills 12 monkeys.

It's still a bit vague on how spreadable it is. It goes from sexual intercourse to changing bedding as ways to catch it

You can catch it from touch, bodily fluids and breath it’s not only sexually transmitted .

Oh look a tattle thread about a virus
This is familiar

Seriously though thank you for this. It's always good when people are sharing info from different sources.
It's a mystery this isn't it? It's the amount of countries seeing cases that is the most puzzling part for me

They think it may have been spread by people travelling from Pride festivals in Spain and sex saunas

Monkeypox outbreak linked to super-spreader event at adult sauna

The UK confirmed 11 new cases of monkeypox on Friday, more than doubling the total to 20.

If it's a choice between the vaccine and sex .....

They wonder how these things are being spread around the globe

Airline says it will cease shipments of monkeys after some got loose in Pennsylvania crash

The move is the latest skirmish in a long-running battle between animal-rights groups and researchers over the use of animals in medical experiments.

12 monkeys a man releases the virus at airports .
The order or the 12 monkeys has nothing to do with the virus, Bruce Willis just thinks they do.

And the monogamous

Maybe the church have released it to encourage marriage!

They haven’t used the vaccine ( routinely in the UK) since 1971 .

Covid, a war, monkeypox, anything else?

They keep telling people not to worry yet seem to be moving a lot behind the scenes

First case in Scotland, the rest are in England

I'd imagine it wouldn't take long for gum clinics to start contacting and giving a smallpox vaccine for those at risk if it did continue to grow. Far bigger issues out there. Presumably their staff will be getting a jab pretty soon.

 

[Brigitjonesbuttcheek]

The information is really conflicting at the moment. They are showing pics of big boils but apparently it's a different strain that causes smaller spots.

They're saying STI but then this morning that it spreads through the spots and through saliva and breath (wait for more mask mandates then)

They're saying it's mild but then harping on about vax and isolation.

A guy this morning said it's similar to chicken pox. So why the big hoo ha. Why can't people just be I'll anymore

It’s almost like only certain types of illness are allowed and accepted by the government. Cancer, heart disease, mental health related deaths, flu etc all just accepted prior to covid with barely a batted eyelid. Campaigns here and there but nothing like covid or now MonkeyPox it’s rammed down our throats like the world is ending constantly. Some winters my whole office would be taken down with viruses that spread amongst us, to the point some had been in bed for days. No one freaked out about that & wrote stories in the Daily Mail “whole office ill mystery virus that spread within days!!!” …my boss actually expected us to come in and work through it. The more the media does it the more people just aren’t going to care.

Wish the media would stop trying to cause hysteria!

I think the reason for the hysteria is because they don’t know for sure if this is a rogue strain, early indications show it’s not but because they’ve never encountered this way of spread before they’re not absolute on that.

 

[Warpaint]

The annoying this is they're wording it just like Covid. Even the BBC are on the hype train.
