Some people call it Donkeypox. I can see why.

The concern is that the rate at which cases are showing up--that are clearly not connected to one another--indicates community spread, which is not something that has been seen before with this virus.

That is why public health officials are trying to use ring vaccination to prevent additional disease in contacts of cases.

Now I have explained it, but you will still have complaints. Carry on.

No reason to be so snippy, missy -- especially since you didn't even get the point. I didn't say monkeypox was constantly circling the globe -- I said "shrug, aren't there always illnesses circling the globe?" What's the big deal with monkeypox circling the globe? So what? Seems harmless enough. Just gross. is circling the globe enough of a reason to call it a public health emergency?

Even community spread -- so what? Is getting inconvenient blisters through community spread really an emergency?

It permanently scars, blinds, and sometimes kills. You sound like an idiot pursuing this stance that mpx is no big deal.

You understand that makes no sense, right?

In third world countries where there is sub-par medical care and blisters get infected and there are no antibiotics? Or here?

We need a lockdown. Virtual schooling until the case count is zero. Think of the children!

It can also spread by respiratory droplets and on fabric that touched infected skin. You could imagine it spreading easily in, say, a daycare or hospital.

But I agree that it doesn't seem to be fatal for many. Unpleasant, yes. Does it scar like small pox?

It’s mostly spread in the gay community and the community spread started in gay bath houses in Europe. It is shared through body fluids and/or shared objects, like bed sheets. Nothing to fear here as death is rare.

Yup. That would be typical. First kids had to protect the elderly now they need to protect gay men.

Really you don’t get this?

That’s how media works. You click on it, read it, watch it and advertisers pay to get in front of your eyeballs.

People love to click on the human interest headlines. Baby falls in well. Child can’t function with long covid. You get the idea.

Ugh, right? Not even far from the realm of possibility. I think parents are so traumatized from how our kids were thrown under the bus during Covid. Our kids bore way too much of the burden and our public health officials basically ignored the needs of families and kids/teens.
