‘I literally screamed out loud in pain’: my two weeks of monkeypox hell (Barf Alert)
The Guardian ^ | July 23, 2022 | Sebastian Köhn, as told to Wilfred Chan

Posted on 07/24/2022 6:19:17 AM PDT by karpov

I got monkeypox and it’s been a total nightmare.

When New York Pride festivities kicked off on 24 June, I was aware that monkeypox was an emerging issue – especially for gay men – but I was also under the impression that the number of cases in the city was relatively small. What I didn’t understand was how absolutely dismal testing capacity was: at that point, the city only had capacity to process ten tests a day.

I had sex with several guys over the weekend. Then a week later, on 1 July, I started feeling very fatigued. I had a high fever with chills and muscle aches, and my lymph nodes were so swollen they were protruding two inches out of my throat.

First, I took a Covid self-test: negative. Then I started suspecting monkeypox. I texted a friend: I’m just sitting here waiting for the rash to start.

I’m a 39-year-old man from Sweden, living in Brooklyn and working in philanthropy. For the past decade, my work has primarily focused on sexual and reproductive health and rights, so I followed the outbreak from the very beginning. I had even tried to get vaccinated when New York City launched an initial vaccination drive on 23 June. But like the vast majority of other New Yorkers who tried to get an appointment, I had no luck.

Two days after my symptoms began, the rash started as anorectal lesions – painful sores on my anus and rectum. Initially it was a stinging, itchy feeling. I wasn’t scared at this point. I was told that it would be mild, and I was a completely healthy individual with no underlying conditions. But I had no idea how bad it was going to get.

This dumb ass got monkey pox around his anus (apparently from activities associated with the NY Pride Parade), was diagnosed with gonorrhea, AND WORKS IN THE FIELD OF SEXUAL HEALTH?? WTF??

If anybody is looking for someone to illustrate the definition of stupid, you found him.

I would say that the wages of sin is death but that’s so yesterday.

One can argue about the modern dysfunctional health care facilities but one of the reasons why they are “dysfunctional” is that they were founded in times when most people were rather rational and at least pretended to be mostly modest, moral and reasonably chaste. The health care systems founded in eras of generally public moral rationality were not equipped nor did anyone forsee the need to build in the resources needed to take on sudden epidemics of diseases caused by the immoral acts of irrational sensuality based people who want a cure now and immediately!

“I had sex with several guys over the weekend.”

But somehow normal people are supposed to feel sorry for the fags?
What color will their ribbon be? Will they make a quilt? Will the government spend $billions in search for a cure to the scourge? Better yet, leave the fags to their own reprobation.

2 Peter 2:19 They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved.

There is nothing admirable about homosexuality. This man is thoroughly corrupted and a slave to his own perverse sexual appetites. It’s not supposed to be like this. Sin is a disgrace to disgrace to any people.

The article makes me sad in that this is a person who is loved by God and called to turn from sin. I don’t believe God is punishing this man. He is punishing himself with his own self destructive acts and seems totally blind to his own depravity.

I hear ya. What “sucks”(yeah pardon the built in inuendo) for me as a health care worker is that I think we RN’s will be encountering these folks in the hospital from time to time and these CDC types will mandate that we health care workers will have to get the shots. You can wash the hands and gown up but this stuff is extremely transmissible(like how impetigo spreads between kids in a family) by skin contact and not necessarilly sexual contact. It’s certain some of us will get it.

Why do we give morons like this the ability to stay and work here in non-essential fields. Ship this creep back.

Exactly right, Bob434. What consenting adults do in the privacy of their own bedrooms isn’t supposed to be our business, right? But this stuff never stays in the bedroom. It’s like we are living in Sodom and Gomorrah with the perverse proudly parading their sins in the streets. We are so far beyond tolerance these days. It will not end well.

Don't be coy, homo. Just tell us that you're the dumbest and most ignorant gay lefty phoney since the discovery of HIV.

He sure did his part to spread all the gonorrhea and Monkey-butt Pox around, that’s for sure. But somehow I don’t think he’ll change his ways. It’s what they do.
