But let’s keep having hordes of Africans come in.

Trump’s approval ratings are higher in some countries in Africa than any place in the world, much higher than in the U.S.

Is it a coincidence that the Swedish flag and the Ukrainian flag have the same colors?

Two cases reported in Utica NY by WKTV news.

Hate to be a downer but its only a matter ot time before viruses mutate and become either more virulent or sometimes more benign. People with suppressed immune systems such as those who take immune modulators for diseases such as asthma, inflammatory bowel diseases, psoriasis etc and diabetics may be particularly vulnerable. Practicing male homosexuals have chronically challenged immune systems and must be especially viligant.

I need to find a way to convince a certain demographic that these will be perfect masks for the prevention of Butt...um....Monkey Pox.

I could make a fortune.

Stop having sex with monkeys!!

Unless you are a homosexual male drug user who has unprotected sex with multiple unknown partners, your chance of getting mpox is almost nil

For me, the chances are pretty much zero given I’ve been married to the same man since age 17.

The reason we are seeing front page articles with the mpox scare headlines is so that about mid-September, Democrats can call for mail-in balloting for the election.

For Democrats, I can understand their concern since the chances are not zero that one of them would be sharing needles & doing drugs and having sex in the voting line. But for the rest of us, I believe we will be fine.

Fantastic!

The Swedish patient was infected during a stay in a part of Africa where the spread of mpox Clade 1 is ongoing, has received treatment and was issued rules of conduct, according to state epidemiologist Magnus Gisslén.

What you will never hear from the press is that the victim was a homosexual sex tourist.

there are many reasons to deny entry for immigrants but monkeypox is not one…and neither is covid

I fear there is still a significant percentage of the population on the right and the left that are freaked out by germs.

…”by close contacts within households and often involving children…”

If I recall correctly when Monkey Pox was first reported in Africa, these “close” contacts with children was from sexual abuse.

[chopperk]

Sweden needs to import millions more illegals to do it right.

[toddausauras]

Just pointing out leftist hypocrisy.

[Getready]

Especially vigilant? Make sure there’s enough tax money to pay for the treatment and prevention of diseases which are spread by especially vigilant peeps.

What a lot of folks leave out of the calculus is how absolutely filthy, un-hygienic, and barbaric Africans are.

People who don't know:
To disregard their own feces/vomit.
That many sicknesses are caused by electrolyte imbalances (Gatorade).
Hand-washing goes a long way.
Slaughtering neighbors with a machete can be a dirty business.

There's no chance this will spread to civilized countries.

Pfizer, copying China’s ploy, probably paid some jackass to spread that virus to the outside of Africa.

Try to keep up

The earlier outbreak was mainly spread via sexual contacts, but Clade I can be transmitted more easily through other contact routes, mainly by close contacts within households and often involving children.
