‘Sexual form of monkeypox' blamed for global spread of virus

[Sydney Herald] London: The World Health Organisation said it expects to identify more cases of monkeypox as it expands surveillance in countries where the disease is not typically found.

As of Sunday, 92 confirmed cases and 28 suspected cases of monkeypox have been reported from 12 member states that are not endemic for the virus, the UN agency said, adding it will provide further guidance and recommendations in coming days for countries on how to mitigate the spread of monkeypox.

"Available information suggests that human-to-human transmission is occurring among people in close physical contact with cases who are symptomatic", the agency added.

#16  Well said and informative, 49 Pan.

Bertie Lumumba1577, since it was reported yesterday that some of those contracting the disease were bisexual, from my perspective it appears more a disease of promiscuous men behaving carelessly... and as no doubt women are already being caught up in it, a straightforward disease of promiscuity, like body lice or things no longer cured by penicillin.

#14  Ref #11: This because there were not enough people willing to do the test groups.

Not to worry, we've got Big Pharma and our Top Man on that one.

#11  There are some good reads on Monkey Pox, where its from, and how it transmits. We did have 50 plus folks in the US get it a few years ago. Transmitted from monkeys, to animals in pet stores, to prairie dogs, and on to hunters in the mid West. While it is related to small pox and chicken pox, it is not as deadly as we are being led to believe. This is why they tout infection rates not death rates. The transmissibility rate on this virus is very low, I think the term is RA (?), but it sits at a 1 on their scale. To compare with COVID, which sits at a 7 to 10 on the scale. So it does not scale to be pandemic in quality of transmission. That also explains the initial groups getting it. Close proximity, fluid sharing, etc... Its not a gay mans disease BL, and knowledge, not finger pointing is what we need here. The shot for this is again, experimental because it was not tested on humans, only animals. This because there were not enough people willing to do the test groups. The vaccine is a but more dangerous with side effects than acceptable. All in all this is not a great problem.

As many official reports clearly point out the M-Pox has been mainly found among Homosexual Males.

So if we applied the MSM's process of labeling things for click-bait headlines, shouldn't we call this GAY-POX?

#1  I know this sounds more than a little conspiratorial, but could research for the cure of HIV have spawned other deadly viral anamolies ?
