Will your faves' summer music festivals be blamed for being superspreader events (either COVID or MPX)?

Arent you scared of randoms showing up to your house/gloryhole? Wut if one of them have bad intentions 

I do scare actually

 

But I live in the center part of Berlin and on 9th floor of an apartment complex so they wouldn't try it if they are smart

 

I called off several times already though if I felt weird vibe and generally only meeting people during day time

It's rising relatively slowly, zero signs of day-to-day exponential growth, less than 500 cases overall, which shows transmission but nowhere near the levels of COVID original strain, Delta or Omicron. With how much people there were at the 2/3 focuses of this illness, there should be like 5,000 to 10,000 cases if this spread like 30% as fast as Omicron

 

The genome finds mutations but they are not new and the original strain is almost exact to another barely transmissible, not-deadly strain sequenced like decades ago, so mutations shouldn't be a topic of major worry.

 

Cases will be continue to rise next week, I think it won't be way more faster than this week, but we could see the first signs of containment in a couple weeks. There's also the chance that we won't get to contain the virus, but keep the curve flat at very low numbers (I'm talking about 20 times less than COVID right now) and have the cases contained in "sex scene" chains

 

Don't wanna be overpositive again but not even clickbait sites or reddit doomers seem to be that interested anymore, the last article about monkeypox in r/worldnews was posted 16 hours ago (and believe me, almost every active user in that thread believes any type of bad news wil take us to massive destruction, tragedy and death), so even if those aren't paying much attention, I would recommend y'all to not worry about this.

Day to day cases seem to be a lagging indicator seeing as the incubation period is anywhere from 5-21 days. :skull:  The usual period being 1-2 weeks. 
 

I will start panicking after seeing the cases rise at the end of June tbh.

The big "parties" happened +20 days ago. If this was as transmissible as COVID we would have already seen thousands of cases from those two parties alone but it isnt the case

Probably not because shutting down bathhouses and orgy parties where this has proven to be spreading like I suggested makes one a homophobic fascist (even though I am gay myself but work). All across the western world pride and it’s associated mass travel, parties, sex parties etc will be happening starting Wednesday, surely I can’t be the only one who sees the writing on the wall.

You really do think as soon as the clock strikes midnight on June 1 that that somehow signals every gay man to go to a wild bathhouse orgy. You really do think that the gay men who aren't doing that already will suddenly turn into sex fiends. You really do think that the answer to containing a disease affecting gay men is to stigmatize them, isolate them, and punish them for having consensual sex. 

 

I don't give a f whether you yourself are gay. You are promoting authoritarian measures against the LGBTQ+ community. You should be ashamed of yourself.

 

I'm done giving relevant and accurate statistics showing that the vast majority of gay men aren't hypersexual. You don't care about that. The only thing you care about is your own little bubble where you can imagine other gay men being oppressed.

???? You need to have some weed and calm down. No one is talking about punishing anyone. Shutting down certain venues of high transmission is normal, happened during covid all the time.

I have to laugh. You have advocated for shutting down everything gay man-related

The venues where people go to have sex, yes. What about it? It’s where this is being transmitted.

We will see what the actual death rate is as the weeks progress since no one has died yet so it could be under 1% 

 

We can’t use the death rate from Africa which has worse healthcare and attribute it to other countries.
