Pet hamsters belonging to monkeypox patients should be isolated or killed, say health chiefs (from May 2022)
The Telegraph ^ | 5-25-22 | Sarah Newey and Joe Pinkstone,

Pet hamsters, gerbils and guinea pigs belonging to monkeypox patients should “ideally be isolated” in government laboratories, according to European health authorities.

In a worst case scenario where monitored isolation and regular testing is unfeasible, the agency suggested a cull should be considered as “a last resort” to prevent the disease gaining a permanent foothold in the region.

So far, 90 cases have been detected across the UK since the virus was first identified in England in early May - including 12 on Thursday - while 344 suspected or confirmed cases have been reported in more than 20 countries worldwide.

In guidance published this week, the European Centre for Disease Control (ECDC) urged both those infected with monkeypox and their close contacts to avoid their pets, amid fears the virus could become endemic across the continent if it makes the jump to animals.

The ‘news’ is increasingly dark comedy. That has to mean something.

Lemmiwinks!

For those who don’t get the reference, there’s a South Park episode that applies here.

“Good Lord”

Indeed! But as Mae West might say; “neither has anything to do with it”.
Heard rude mention of gerbils and such but thought it more joke than anything else. A recent news item out of Paris told of a dog that contracted the virus. Seems he sleeps with his homosexual owners...or something.
Next thing roasted “cuy” (hamsters) will become a scarcity in Peru.

Hamsters and gerbils are childrens’ pets, which make them the perfect pets for queer men.

Gerbils on the other hand can still be used safely.

In order to save the Human species, it's time to have a serious discussion about re-criminalzing homosexual behavior.

The hubris of our current culture has ignored the millenia old prohibitions which were in large part based on health concerns.), and would logically lead to an extinction of the human race.
