Damn, guess I’ll have to stop hanging out at interstate rest stops for now.

I hate everybody, so the likelihood I’ve had casual contact with just about anybody is a moot point.

Containing monkeypox is as easy as “Sodomites, knock it off.”

monkeypox can be carried by small rodents. Squirrels, ground hogs, etc.

Mos shake hands with straight people too, but you don't see us coming down with it. As for squirrels, ground hogs, etc. a normal fella ought not to be having carnal relations with them either.

If you keep the exit closed to incoming traffic, you won’t get the chimp pox

I don’t sew the logic. We can’t stop monkeypox, because that would be homophobic. But it’s anti-homophpbic to let gay men get a terrible disease, suffer, and some die.

I wonder how this is going to interact with HIV. Five percent of the population in DC has AIDS, and the same group is getting monkey pox.

Let the ride begin!

So what do you propose mr scaredy-cat? Should we all be required to wear condoms? For one thing monkey pox is freaking hideous not like Covid. If someone has monkey pox you are going to know it. That gives you ample opportunity to avoid “casual contact”. This is one case where social distancing actually works.

Frankly I didn’t expect MonkeyPox to be contained, any more
than I expected bath houses to be closed.

Even when HIV was flooding across the nation, they wouldn’t
shut down places they knew were spreading it like wild fire.

As far as I’m concerned this is no different from AIDS. It’s up to the queers in their communities to figure this out for themselves and leave the rest of us alone.

It can also be spread by close, personal contact, but amazingly the vast majority of victims are............. Gay!

"So what do you propose mr scaredy-cat? "

Project much? I'm not the one scared to look into the risks and share what I find.

I propose quarantines. I proposed the same with Covid-19. Nobody listened much. Quarantines would severely inconvenience a few hundred people who have it, but it allows the rest of the nation to get on with their lives.

Beyond that, it would be nice if they can screen blood supplies. Reporting of new cases by state and county so people can determine their risk. And some social distancing is probably in order. Maybe not 6 feet this time, Maybe 3ft would suffice, but shaking hands should stop.

Not sure if you can screen for that on incoming flights, but that should be considered. Screening for fevers should be done. But people were taking anti-inflammatories to avoid airport screenings with covid-19.

I have very very low risk. I live alone, work from home. Go to the Grocery store once a week.

Their (twisted) logic is that we have to deny that this is a problem specific to the homosexual crowd, and have to refuse to institute countermeasures specifically targeting the homosexual crowd.

Instead, we have to pretend that it is a problem affecting the whole of society, and have to accept that - as a consequence - it will, in fact, eventually become a problem affecting the whole of society.

And therefore we have to mail out ballots to every registered voter without regard to whether they are still alive, still living here, legal citizens, in prison, living by the hundreds on vacant lots, etcetera.
