LOL If rats get it, I still won't care. I'll still have zero skin-to-skin contact with any rats.

There was an outbreak of Monkeypox in 2003 in six midwestern states, where all the cases stemmed fron contact with pet prairie dogs. The prairie dogs had contacts with rats. So, just because you don't have contact with rats, doesn't mean you won't have contact with something else that has contact with rats.

I am 100% certain I will not be in contact with anyone or anything that is in contact with rats. How many people do you think have pet prairie dogs? You're really reaching if you think that's supposed to be scary.

I think this is basically what "endemic" means. When the virus is so widespread in an area that it infects the animals there widely as a reservoir of the illness. It can spread from animal to human, but it can also spread, apparently fairly easily though not AS easily as COVID, from human to human.

It was literally like looking at a pimple on a man's cheek and a flat wart on his hand. Literally. It was not disturbing in any way. WTH, media???

You're making a humble brag. Those images sound gross to me.

This is probably as dangerous as chicken pox -- people with no access to health care and antibiotics pick at the scabs, they get infected and are left untreated. Nothing to be concerned about here, where we have access to health care and antibiotics.

Anyone else hear Spring 2020 in this comment?

COVID was a once in a century event. It would actually be shocking to have two catastrophic worldwide pandemics back to back, from a statistical perspective.

I’m an older millennial who had to deal with 9/11, recession, trump, and covid. Please don’t tempt fate with comments like this.

Do people really feel that monkey pox has to be fatal for them to take it seriously?

No, that's not what endemic means. Endemic means, throughout one area. Pandemic means throughout the world. We could have a bug that was endemic in the US, but if it spreads around the world, it's a pandemic.

It doesn't seem to be serious, fatality aside. The images I've seen on the news look like no big deal.

Some of the images are horrible. I think i would rather get covid right now. I got the smallpox vaccine as a child and am now in my 50's. Does anyone know how much protection it would give?

The best info I’ve seen so far on MPX is John Oliver. Crickets from everywhere else. Very concerned about college campuses.

Lmao. Covid wasn’t a catastrophic pandemic. The death rate was what, 0.3%? It killed mostly the elderly or infirm. You clearly bought into the narrative sold by the media and you’ll feel stupid if there ever is a deadly pandemic that kills healthy young people. 40% of people with COVID in their bodies don’t even get sick…you think that’s catastrophic?
