Full Headline: Deadly virus monkeypox is found in the UK for the first time as health officials try to avert potentially deadly outbreak

They said a Nigerian individual who flew into the UK last Sunday has been diagnosed with the bug, which kills up to one in ten of those infected. There is no vaccine.

Like Ebola, monkeypox resides in wild animals but humans can catch it through direct contact with animals, such as handling monkeys, or eating inadequately cooked meat.

…

Officials from Public Health England said they were in the process of contacting people who sat near the Nigerian on the flight, who is being treated in ‘strict isolation’ at the Royal Free Hospital in North London.

Monstrous monkey-meat meal malady

Infected meat, they wrote. Yes, that would be infected monkey meat. But saying so would probably be racist.

It has been reported that Zulus were eating pigmies. The Zulus refer to them as “monkey meat.” Also, here is another article on rebels eating pigmies. (Isn’t diversity wonderful?)

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

So far the false positive rate is 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

Africa just keeps on giving. Which plane will they put some monkeypox infected passengers and send them to the US?

[dforest]

Yep, better change that name to J. Fred Muggspox

[JonPreston]

The virus is found mainly in tropical rainforest regions of central and West Africa.

Thank you Theresa May! Plagues, not diversity, is our strength!

Thanks BenLurkin. This better not be about the election in Florida. ;^)

Next time you eat monkey hips and rice, make sure to cook the meat portion thoroughly.

Music playing;
"Why can't you do it?
Why can't you set your monkey free?
Always giving in to it - Do you love the monkey or do you love me?"

They say it tastes better if you leave just a bit of singed hair on it before serving.

[NativeSon]

Is this the reason for the recent quarantines of flights into Philly?

“Monkeypox”??? They will have to change that Racist name.
