    The pictures are not pretty, so I've put the tweet in spoiler mode.   Note that the current outbreak is of a different clade.       WHO declares mpox a global public heal

    Why mpox is a global health emergency — again (sciencenews.org)         WHO is asking for $15 million from the global health agency's emergency fund to pay for increased

    If you're MSM and haven't had both shots I would honestly just lie about your sexual history to get both Jynneos shots before there's new strains of this that reach the other continents then there's i

I agree that they should mention how it's spreading, but also making the focus on "gay orgies" is so :biblio: As if people needed more arguments for their homophobic "its another GAY DISEASE!" theories. Stigmatizing gays because a disease has started spreading in our community is completely wrong. (and yes I think certain promiscuous groups should **** off and use protection)

 

There are different ways to spread awareness and help prevent more cases imo. I also read that you can get it through close personal contact in general (kissing, touching people or their clothing, bed sheets, etc).

Way too early for such cases at this point cuz the incubation period for the initial events isn't even over yet

Well we don't know. Incubation period can be up to 21 days but it can also be 4-5 days.

 

More good news cause people here only post what they consider bad news without context:

 

Apparently the cases in Europe are only suffering from like 1 to 2 days of fever. Also more cases but no one dead, and only one semiconfirmed severe case

True but still.

 

We really need confirmation of how exactly this is spreading soon.

It also seems like the rash isn’t anywhere near as bad as the ones in the pics luckily.

I think the main theory the Spanish government has regarding the outbreak in Madrid traces back to a sauna party during Eurovision :deadbanana2:

watching Eurovision in a sauna :deadbanana2: spanish people are a ki!

This been posted here yet? Apparently the FDA approved a Monkeypox vaccine back in 2019. What a coincidence.

There are hundreds of vaccines for viruses that aren't widespread at all, it's literally done as a preventative measure for cases just like this :rip:

Conspiracy theorists are such morons :rip:

COVID really has you traumatized, huh? All I said is that it's a coincidence, you can calm down.

Sure Jan, there was no other motive :juanny:

COVID should have traumatized any normal sane person, especially when it comes to spread of medical conspiracy theories, so I'm not sure that's the gotcha you were going for :rip:

 

The majority of the 200 people were healthcare workers, it seems.

A mess 

I want this **** far away from me, I do not want any permanent scarring after I put in years taking care and repairing my skin. :jonnycat:

Funny how the treatment is radically different from covid all because it affects one's anesthetic in real time.

 

I've always believed that society has normalized dirty social practices such as hugging and handshaking, nevermind the invincibility belief of unprotected sex even in relationships to their inevitable detriment.

 

Gay men better not let rightwingers culture war this, if abortion is up to chop best believe your sashaying asses are in the lineup.

Meningitis has been a major issue in gay community. I hear about it all the time in LA. This isn't new.

Good.

 

Honestly they should shut down the service out of caution. It would certainly reduce spread.
