"A man who hadn't had sex in months caught monkeypox after going to a crowded outdoor event. Experts say being intimate is still the most common way the virus spreads."

Well, I guess that's one positive for missing a concert or two in July...
Maybe it’s airborne as well.
That would be very scary.
I don’t watch ‘the news’ too often as it seems ginned up to create hysteria and political division amongst the viewers and it’s a ripe field to reap divisions and continue the ridiculous divide between The American People…Aside from the weather and sports scores it’s all a bunch of nonsense, imo.
‘House fire in Queens kills 4, a Kwiki-Mart was violently held up at gunpoint, a local politician is being accused of corruption,’ and so forth…No shit, you don’t say…
Rinse and repeat.
If this Monkey Pox thing is a real threat let’s hope that our various governments and agencies have a handle on studying and figuring it out quickly this time around. And I don’t want to hear that the newest plague came from some weirdo screwing a baboon, a viral bio-weapon got loose from a lab or some idiots in China were eating raw bats or whatever.
I pay 32% of my salary to the many levels of governments…local, county, state and federal.
These duly elected jerkoffs owe us an explanation if this Monkey deal gets out of hand, they better get it under control real quick.
I also have been keeping away from news, but even when I check my e-mail (in this case, Yahoo), I run into it.. And eventually you read it on here or every other place, somehow. And if it was airborne, I doubt they'd tell us right away, until its too obvious.
That was all I read about monkeypox - and have no intention of reading more.. I figure if I get it, I get it, but during the pandemic, I basically ask myself, "Is ________ worth getting sick?" (usually, I answer myself with, "This jagoff is NOT worth getting sick over")
I stopped watching the national news after the election. I don’t watch local news either as it’s nothing but murder and mayhem! “If it bleeds…it leads!”
share"A man who hadn't had sex in months“
We only have his word for this.
That is the first thing I thought also.
shareThis is blatant scaremongering! I’ve got more chance of being struck by lightning than catching this - I wish the media would stop making it sound apocalyptic 😡
shareI’ve got a concert to go to in two weeks and this is something I won’t be worried about. Lol
shareI’ve been to a few recently (mostly London), however, my days of being half naked in a sweaty mosh-pit are waaay behind me, lol.
Who are you off to see?
He's probably lying out of fear.
shareIt’s like going to a doctor with an STD and immediately saying, ‘well I don’t know how that could have possibly happened!”
shareRight.. I hope he might come out with the truth, instead of doctors going around in circles wondering if this shit is airborne. But now he's probably scared of admitting he was lying. And if he wasn't........ Well, just imagine Roger Waters' scream in "Careful With That VAX, Eugene"
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
Probably the longest scream in a song.
the smallpox vaccine takes care of this. they stopped routine smallpox vaccines in canada in 1972. i was born in 1963. i got it covered.
shareMy oldest was also born in 1963. When it came time for her final childhood vaccinations before starting school, 1968 or 1969 it was an option then. I chose for her to be vaccinated for smallpox and 3 years later I did the same for my youngest.
sharemy wife was born in 64 and she has this covered as well. not something i will lose sleep over.
shareThat's hot
shareAn attempt at blame shifting ?
#We've been here before.
So he had a one night stand with a two-bagger. We've all been there.
shareIt depends on the definition of what "having sex" is.
shareI just hope I can successfully take my cruise in October that I booked in November, 2019 and has been canceled and rescheduled 3X because of Covid, before the CDC and cruise lines start restrictions because of Monkey Pox.
shareAs I already said, this is blatant scaremongering! I’ve got more chance of being struck by lightning than catching this - I wish the media would stop making it sound apocalyptic 😡
shareOh I agree, but IMO, the CDC is just waiting for something else to help them validate their importance, since they did a dismal job with Covid. and the cruise lines are afraid of their shadows.
