#1 Yes, "stunning" indeed. "Young men" is it? What type of young men exactly? Penicillin, anybody try penicillin ?

Undoubtedly the wet markets again. No way it could possibly be connected to 'gain of function' research.

#8 Coming soon, rash of articles about the risks and mortality percentges of Monkeypox for the unmasked, just in time for the mid-terms. Added bonus for the Demokrat base, Monkeypox can leave disfiguring scars, especially on large, white suburban women with university degrees in meaningless subjects.

#10 The biggest culprit was stopping routine smallpox vaccinations. That vaccine protected against monkeypox; younger people who didn't get a smallpox vaccination are providing a green field for monkeypox.

#12 Well, the smallpox jab was a normal in processing in the services back when. I don't know if they even stopped. My jab point is still prominent these many years later.

#14 Excerpts from Deutsche Welle today:

In recent weeks, more than 100 confirmed or suspected cases have been recorded in Europe, as well as the United States, Canada and Australia.

Health officials in Berlin said the two patients were in stable condition. Efforts had begun to trace their contacts. Public broadcaster RBB said at least one patient was thought to have been infected at a Berlin club.

It is unclear which of the two groups (or "clades") of the virus the two patients have contracted. So far, all of the cases registered in Europe are of the milder West African group, rather than the more severe Central African one.

Authorities in Spain are investigating whether the Maspalomas Gay Pride Festival on the tourist island of Gran Canaria may have been the source of several infections, El Pais daily reported Saturday. Citing health sector sources, the newspaper reported that men from Madrid, Italy and the neighboring island of Tenerife who tested positive for the virus are said to have participated in the celebrations. Tens of thousands of people attended the Pride festival from May 5 to 15.

On Friday, authorities closed a Madrid sauna identified as a possible place of infection. Spain has so far confirmed 30 cases, with more than 39 suspected, media reported Saturday.

The virus can be transmitted through contact with skin lesions or droplets from a contaminated person, as well as through shared items such as bedding or towels.

That last makes it sound like it is not s3xually transmitted as such, unlike HIV, and could easily spread to the much larger heteros3xual population at a well-attended summer festival or dance club. Yay.
