Monkeypox--leveling off

Dog with monkeypox sparks questions about human-to-animal transmission

Monkeypox has continued to spread in the U.S. and in countries all over the world, but for the first time, a dog has tested positive after its owners showed symptoms.

However, a recent report from The Lancet showed evidence that two patients, both male who lived together, contracted monkeypox and most likely gave the virus to their 4-year-old Italian greyhound.

Yes, and we are starting to catch up even when looking at a per capita basis:

Ouch, WOW, It is amazing how poorly the US is doing relative to other countries. We are the only country in this set that has made no impact on the infection rate.

Keep your posts up, we should pass Spain in the next two weeks and then we will be the center of the epidemic.

Many Americans have fought hard for the freedom to spread disease over the last few years. It isn't surprising this one isn't being controlled very well.

Wow, this is getting crazy. I hope that doesn't create a mutation.

This is disgusting. These men should be charged with animal abuse.

I can imagine what you're thinking but, no. You need to stop thinking about sex all the time.

Monkeypox

How you get monkeypox

Monkeypox can be passed on from person to person through:

• any close physical contact with monkeypox blisters or scabs (including during sexual contact, kissing, cuddling or holding hands)
• touching clothing, bedding or towels used by someone with monkeypox
• the coughs or sneezes of a person with monkeypox when they're close to you

In parts of west and central Africa, monkeypox can also be caught from infected rodents (such as rats, mice and squirrels) if:

• you're bitten
• you touch its fur, skin, blood, body fluids, spots, blisters or scabs
• you eat its meat and it has not been cooked thoroughly

Monkeypox

Why are you cuddling with a dog when you have monkey pox sores?

This is not complete. What it's basically saying is that someone with monkey pox should be in quarantine.

If you can get it from getting sneezes on or coughed on or even touching someone's clothing it's extremely contagious.

Just being around someone with it is very very contagious.

And if you can give it to your dog? My my.

The main vector of transmission over the years for Monkeypox is by animal contact. The largest outbreak prior to now in the US involved prairie dogs housed next to imported animals. From the second post in the thread:

Monkeypox in the United States | Monkeypox | Poxvirus | CDC

2003 Outbreak from Imported Mammals
In 2003, forty-seven confirmed and probable casesexternal icon of monkeypox were reported from six states—Illinois, Indiana, Kansas, Missouri, Ohio, and Wisconsin. All people infected with monkeypox in this outbreak became ill after having contact with pet prairie dogs. The pets were infected after being housed near imported small mammals from Ghana. This was the first time that human monkeypox was reported outside of Africa.

The concern is that if the virus gets into various animal hosts the virus could be endemic in nations it previously was not, and could spread more widely.

Eeewww that looks sooo gross!

Yes and the gay community is certainly doing their part to not spread the disease.

Right now the monkey pox is primarily being spread by the gay and bi-sexual community. The promiscuity among these communities is a driving factor.

‘I literally screamed out loud in pain’: my two weeks of monkeypox hell

While the CDC and governments were not shy about shutting down the economy, businesses family gatherings, church etc over COVID they have done NOTHING in relation to this disease. All the wild sex parties and parades gatherings etc are continuing to go on.

Even the CDC is not calling for the shutdowns of these things. Families were forbidden to be together during COVID. What are they telling people. Get to get her have fun just limit your sex partners. What?

We had mandatory distancing, mandatory masks, and mandatory vaccines from businesses.

If monkey pox is such a big deal, why aren't there these kinda of restrictions in place for these areas where the primary vector of spread is happening?

Stigma, that's why. People are too afraid to be honest about where it's happening and who it's happening too and why it's happening.

If this thing starts spreading to the general populace we will know who's responsible.

Amen!! Exactly! Funny how they don't want to tell those people to stop doing what's causing the spread but had no problem telling people to wear masks and social distance etc. You are correct! I don't want that crap coming to the general population.

I am just salivating to try any new experimental vaccine. I'm addicted to experimental vaccines.

Just because vaccines don't work doesn't mean they shouldn't be mandated .

Funny, that's what all the trailer park Trump supporters were screaming about masks two years ago in west Michigan. I had no idea they were gay too.

 

[That Guy 11200]

I wonder if all of the anti-mask, anti-social distancing people will start wearing masks and socially distancing to avoid catching this "gay" disease if it starts spreading in the wider population.

Once it makes the gay to straight crossover, who knows what will happen.

 

[rjs330]

I'm wondering where all the demands for government intervention are? Where are all the demands for masking, quarantining, social distancing and no get togethers? Where's the calls for Biden to do something? We don't have enough testing kits so where's the criticism of the presidents response? Is that going to come anytime soon? I believe there is a vaccine. Why no calls for vaccine mandates?

I think all gay men should be mandated to get the vaccine. How's that?

By the way, what IS the president doing about this?

3 months In with the pox, less than 13,000 infected.

3 months in with the China virus, over 825,000 infected.
