Because it doesn’t spread as easily as people on DCUM think. |
It is also what was said about every Ebola and SARS and other weird virus for the 120 years between the spanish flu and COVID. And it was correct all of those times. |
*100 years sorry that was a typo |
Well, that is the weakest sauce attempt at faux precautions. The bar hasn't sunk that low. You are a double pandemic denier. |
It appears you can avoid monkey pox by not having sex with multiple partners or having skin to skin contact with someone having sex with multiple partners. I find it highly disturbing that we shut down schools for years but are not willing to say in a straightforward way, stop going to anonymous sex parties |
Taking COVID seriously and getting vaxxed immediately and wearing masks in high risk situations makes me a denier? I feel like it is difficult with you guys still fully in the grip of COVID fear. But we cannot live in fear of COVID for the rest of human existence. It is no longer novel to the vast vast majority of the population (either through infection or vaccination) and we need to move back towards normalcy. Monkeypox has been labeled a pandemic by no one but internet crazies. It is a public health concern, but again, the vast majority of Americans are not high risk. And it is worth noting that not a single person in this country has died and it has been here since mid May. |
Define they. Exponential spread means that right now very few people are catching it that way, and most are catching it the way that this twindemic was accelerated, via close contact within the MSM community, but soon, high touch surfaces and all the fomites concerns that turned out not to be a real issue with COVID in Spring 2020 will actually be a very big concern for monkeypox. |
"still sometimes wear masks indoors when cases surge in my area" That is weak sauce faux precautions, and it isn't "wearing masks in high risk situations". Indoor public place in US in 2022 = high risk situation. I don't know what are that is, but cases haven't really not been in a surge since January. |
They are. One article I read today mentioned a cashier who doctors believe got it from handling money and a woman who cleans airbnbs who doctors suspect got it from handling bedding. |
Lol Lather it all over |
At least europe is straight FW about the gay anal sex part being 99% of cases |
Or maybe, just maybe, people don't want to admit when they attend orgies. |
That’s the current mode of transmission because that’s the population it’s circulating in. As those people catch the disease there is a risk of them spreading it to household contacts and through surface contact at places like the gym. We need to reduce transmission amongst gay men to reduce the absolute numbers of people with the disease. If we don’t, it will become a concern for the general population. |
Yes. Just like in January 2020 you could avoid COVID by not living in China, and in February 2020, you could avoid COVID by not doing the things one does in a northern Italy village, and in March 2020 you could avoid COVID by not going on a cruise. Except, once it was in the United States then you could avoid COVID by wearing a good mask in indoor congregate settings, but you didn't want to, so a million people died, millions of children were orphaned, and children who were infected now have twice the odds of cardiomyopathy and elevated risk of renal failure and diabetes. How about this pandemic? This illness is permanently disfiguring and atrociously painful for weeks in adults, and it can be worse and deadly in children. Masks won't be enough. it's contagious by touching infected linens or a handshake. Vaccines would work, but we don't have nearly enough of the new one for a fraction of the small accelerant demographic, a drop in the bucket of what would be needed for all US children. . |
