“Most of the British and Spanish cases are gay or bisexual men, which officials say is ‘highly suggestive of spread in sexual networks’.”

Butthole bandits are spreading it.

[Tell It Right]

From the article: "Most of the British and Spanish cases are gay or bisexual men, which officials say is 'highly suggestive of spread in sexual networks'."

I don't know how accurate this is. But it's something to keep in mind.

"Null and Void, we need you here right away!"

[HighSierra5]

At least this disease has a scary name.

[ConservativeMind]

Note to self: Don’t have butt sex.

[JerryBlackwell]

Also, if people would stop screwing monkeys, maybe this wouldn’t happen. How many ‘rapefugees’ did we import from africa?

“1970: The first human case was recorded in 1970 in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the infection has been reported in a number of central and western African countries since then.”

[Pollard]

Transmission of monkeypox virus occurs when a person comes into contact with the virus from an animal, human, or materials contaminated with the virus. The virus enters the body through broken skin (even if not visible), respiratory tract, or the mucous membranes (eyes, nose, or mouth). Animal-to-human transmission may occur by bite or scratch, bush meat preparation, direct contact with body fluids or lesion material, or indirect contact with lesion material, such as through contaminated bedding. Human-to-human transmission is thought to occur primarily through large respiratory droplets. Respiratory droplets generally cannot travel more than a few feet, so prolonged face-to-face contact is required. Other human-to-human methods of transmission include direct contact with body fluids or lesion material, and indirect contact with lesion material, such as through contaminated clothing or linens.

Well, heck...I’m moving to a cave.

Hopefully, one without bats or monkeys.

Doesn’t sound that bad. Even without medicine it has a 90% recovery rate. Oh and there is medicine for it. Also it appears to be mostly attracted to men who have gay sex. I don’t think I’ll be worried about this anytime soon. But if I am worried about it, that means I have other bigger issues at play.

Here’s the money line from the article:

“Experts fear…”

[MrBambaLaMamba]

[Robert DeLong]

Seven countries outside of Africa have confirmed or suspected cases of monkeypox. Patients with confirmed monkeypox have been recorded in the UK, US, Spain, Sweden, Italy and Portugal, while Canada is probing potential cases

[9YearLurker]

“In Africa, people have been infected through bites from rodents or small animals, and it does not usually spread easily among people.

However, investigators in Europe say most of the cases have been in gay or bisexual men, and officials are looking into the possibility that some infections were spread through close contact during sex.”
