Stories like these depress me a bit—I really don’t know sometimes if we are intelligent enough of a species to make it. After 2 years of COVID, movies and books about disease and scientific experiments —-movies showing how that can cause epidemics like Outbreak. She sees a wreck, lab cages, blood and excrement on the road and she decides to “pet” what she believes are cats. She finds instead they are monkeys…so she immediately goes back to her car to call health authorities? NOPE here is what she does. Quoted:

“Well tried to pet one, I touch the creates and walk in poop. Then was told to met police at the scene. To talk about exposure. News crew was the[re]. I thought they were [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] so I to them. End up doing interviews. Talk to police and a lady with CDC. I’m will getting a letter. I’m very low risk for I don’t know what yet.”

She's a brave citizen investigative reporter.

Let Fauxcy 'Rat-'splain what is going on with his Monkeys Circus.

I hear they (ape family) are very friendly. She must be one of those easily offended type...

Stories like this are how the world ends, Fauci and his band of Dr. Evil Scientists engineer some exotic disease, transport the infected monkeys in a truck that wrecks and one of the first humans on the scene instead of calling for help tries to pet the monkeys.

Next thing you know we have a “Planet of the Apes” situation.

Seriously, you would think in this type of situation with a pandemic raging, the CDC would immediately come out with all the pertinent information about these monkeys instead they are tightening everything down trying to hide information which makes things worse.

Symptoms of WHAT?........................

[edwinland]

Symptoms of severe stupidity. She runs into a crash site scattered with feces to try to pet random monkeys?

[qwerty1234]

has she started a gofundme page yet?

[Jim Noble]

One day after, according to news reports.

Kinda fast.

This isn’t 1950’s Age of Innocence anymore.
It’s too bad we can’t act like everyday life
in the U.S. isn’t deadly, deadly perilous.

I have some things to say about this woman's lack of common sense, but...

[Roadrunner383]

Pink eye was mentioned as one problem she has. Very likely a herpes infection. The valtrex they are giving her would tend to confirm it. Also, there is a deadly form of herpes (deadly to humans) that some monkeys carry. I read a story a few years back of a lab tech that came into contact with a monkey in the lab, and ended up dying from that particular form of herpes.

Are we not men..er, women?

Monkey Pox,,,
It’s gonna be
The End.

[maddog55]

Based on the way the headline reads...

[GingisK]

My instinct would be to drop as many as I could with my friendly .22 LR.

[Sapwolf]

Why do we do this to our fellow primates?

[MAAG]

The translation of this stinks to high heaven, and makes me think

We need to be careful not repeat stories that might be setting up us conservatives for ridicule.(need better/more confirmation)

[TangoLimaSierra]

Great. She gave the monkeys pink eye.

[Old Yeller]

I’ll give Fauci and his sycophants a lot of credit for being creative in how they intend to kill us all.
