Reports like this remind me of very early COVID days. And USA just elected a POTUS that did a shit job of getting us through that same pandemic. With the cabinet that he has (rfk jr, oz…), let’s just hope these are truly fringe cases and doesn’t lead to an outbreak

It sounded like the same in the beginning with monkey pox, but that did not take of in the same way covid did.

We shall see.

If we were all gay men with many sexual partners though, boy would we have been in trouble!

I remember my mother in law was seriously concerned about monkeypox. The media was practically salivating at the attention a new viral outbreak was getting them, not letting those pesky details of how it was mostly transmitted get out.
