I’m a little bit concerned about the evolution of this situation - but only a little.

Start with the proposition that, when they tell the truth, it’s by accident.

But consider - elimination of smallpox in 1978, and an end to smallpox vaccination after that, has created a big empty space in the human population with no orthopoxvirus to fill it.

Humans and orthopoxviruses (in the form of smallpox) have co-evolved and coexisted for thousands of years, maybe tens of thousands.

We have, for the first time since General Miles and the supposed smallpox blankets, a very large non-immune population AND high velocity and frequency intercontinental travel.

So, part - but only part - of the “gay disease” story is how many male sexual partners on how many different continents the gay men who contracted monkeypox at the sentinel event can have in a month.

There are, now, one-off cases appearing without a link to the gay male subculture. Smallpox in humans, and rinderpest in cattle, do not require physical contact to sustain epidemics once they get going.

So, with regard to CDC mask guidance - they are probably wanting to replay COVID’s greatest hits. But do not neglect the possibility that they know something we don’t.

Haha....I was just thinking that what the CDC recommends would be great - IF you put the mask on your butt. :0)

So out of 400,000,000 people, only 30 peopple who are likely homosexuals have monkey pox, and the nation has to mask up again? Enough bs.

Power and manipulation. They get off on demand that people obey them

Cut your number of sexual partners to help fight monkeypox, urges World Health Organization

Ri-ight! "Men-who-have-sex-with-men" are encouraged to lower their annual number of sexual partners to the double-digits!

Would you spend time in a room face to face and not touching an active monkeypox patient let’s say 5 minutes without any mask on them or you sitting across a desk or table? Simple question answer it yes or no.

Every person who treats a monkeypox patient is in full PPE and in a negative pressure room as a first choice. Monkeypox is a brother to smallpox closer than a cousin virus and smallpox was absolutely airborne over short distances as in under 15 feet. Unlike Covid that is aerosol AND airborne there is a important scientific difference. If you don’t know that difference study up on sciencedirect, EBSCO, or Google scholar.

Here is what hospital’s do for monkeypox.

I’d wear a mask because of all of the gay flight attendants now on Southwest and other carriers. A glamor job taken away from women by queens.

You didn’t answer the question answer this would you sit in a room face to face and not touching an active monkeypox patient. Without either one of you wearing any face covering for at least 5 minutes. Period full stop answer the question. Yes or no.

I thought monkeypox was transmitted via sex.

Monkeypox is transmitted via close, personal contact. It is NOT an airborne/respiratory transmission.

So the "wear a mask to prevent monkeypox!" bullshit from the CDC is just that ... bullshit. It's about power and control.

There is a little kid in the UK with monkeypox in the ICU would you sit in their room with them no mask on either of you? There not a homo they are an innocent bystander. The point is would you trust your life to being sure that monkeypox is not “airborne” hint it absolutely is airborne it’s not aerosol their is a huge scientific and practical difference. There is zero possibility of me sitting in a room with that kid and not being in full tvek ppe and at least a P100 full face respiratory but then again I actually am a scientist who has done plume, aerosol and particulates studies at the micro and macro dispersal levels.

God you people are dense. Airborne vs aerosol know the difference.

https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/monkeypox

Sit across the table from a monkeypox patient for a 5 min conversion there buddy and enjoy your monkeypox. There is already documented cases of taxi drivers who never touched their passenger let alone humped them that got sick, same for nurses and also a ferry boat Captain who didn’t even come face to face with the person. I don’t see why people are so dense on this. Maybe it’s self soothing or some other mental breakdown. It’s not aerosolized like measles or covid that hangs for hours in the air and drifts for hundred of feet. It is absolutely airborne via droplets and respiratory products produced in speech or breathing for tens of feet and a few to tens of minutes depending on the stillness of the host atmosphere. Why anyone thinks it’s not when it’s been known since 1968 you can put two vectors a few feet apart and remove them 15 min later and it will have jumped vector to vector the NIH has the data and studies in 1968,1972,2013 and 2018 showing the same things. It’s a play on words for ignorant people to say it’s not airborne it is not aerosolized it can, will and does move via airborne droplets. Smallpox did, Ebola does too in certain stages ask the cute Asian nurse from Dallas how that works.

Why not restrict people with active cases of monkeypox from flying rather than forcing everyone to wear masks?

So basically you are saying you're really scared of the Munkeypocks.

Well change your panties and go hide then, little Sally.

Monkeypox is not an airborne disease like Covid; it is transmitted via bodily fluids, same as Ebola.

It can spread via “large droplets” from prolonged face-to-face contact. So a mask would theoretically help protect you.

People should reduce their number of sexual partners

I have exactly ONE "sexual partner". If these clowns want me to reduce that number, they can go off and sexually partner with themselves.

Tweeter and the Monkey Man
-The Traveling Wilburys

Tweeter and the Monkey Man were hard up for cash
They stayed up all night, selling cocaine and hash
To an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan
For reasons unexplained, she loved the Monkey Man
Tweeter was a boy scout before she went to Vietnam
And found out the hard way, nobody gives a damn
They knew that they’d find freedom just across the Jersey Line
So they hopped into a stolen car, took Highway 99
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they’re standing
Never saw them when they fell
The undercover cop never liked the Monkey Man
Even back in childhood, he wanted to see him in the can
Jan got married at fourteen to a racketeer named Bill
She made secret calls to the Monkey Man from a mansion on the hill
It was out on thunder road, Tweeter at the wheel
They crashed into paradise, they could hear them tires squeal
The undercover cop pulled up and said
Everyone of you’s a liar
If you don’t surrender now, it’s gonna go down to the wire
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they’re standing
Never saw them when they fell
An ambulance rolled up, a state trooper close behind
Tweeter took his gun away and messed up his mind
The undercover cop was left tied up to a tree
Near the souvenir stand by the old abandoned factory
Next day the undercover cop was hot in pursuit
He was taking the whole thing personal, he didn’t care about the loot
Jan had told him many times
It was you to me who taught
In Jersey anything’s legal as long as you don’t get caught
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they’re standing
Never saw them when they fell
Someplace by Rahway Prison, they ran out of gas
The undercover cop had cornered them said
Boy, you didn’t think that this could last
Jan jumped out of bed said
There’s someplace I gotta go
She took a gun out of the drawer and said
It’s best if you don’t know
The undercover cop was found face down in a field
The Monkey Man was on the river using Tweeter as a shield
Jan said to the Monkey Man
I’m not fooled by Tweeter’s curl
I knew him long before he ever became a Jersey girl
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they’re standing
Never saw them when they fell
Now the town of Jersey City is quieting down again
I’m sitting in a gambling club called The Lion’s Den
The TV set was blown up, every bit of it is gone
Ever since the nightly news show that the Monkey Man was on
I guess I’ll go to Florida and get myself some sun
There ain’t no more opportunity here, everything’s been done
Sometimes I think of Tweeter, sometimes I think of Jan
Sometimes I don’t think about nothing but the Monkey Man
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they’re standing
Never saw them when they fell
And the walls came down
All the way to hell
Never saw them when they’re standing
Never saw them when they fell

It can spread via surfaces. Monkeypox patient touches or scratches a lesion then touches something you touch afterward. Or a weeping lesion comes into contact with a surface you later touch. A teeny tiny break in your skin, or rub your eye, and there ya go. Ya got the pox.
