When a case of monkeypox was reported in Nevada’s Humboldt County in August, it was the state’s first detected occurrence of the virus in a rural area. Soon, cases were found in other rural counties — Nye, Lyon, and Elko — posing another hurdle for public health systems that have been worn thin by the covid-19 pandemic.

Experts say the response to the monkeypox virus in rural America may be affected by the patchy resources and bitter politics that are a legacy of the pandemic, challenges that some worry could allow sporadic infections to gain a foothold.

Since pox is a skin lesion you might want to avoid shaking hands, hugging, etc with that population as well.

Sorry to hear this. I’ve always understood RSV to be an infant and toddler disease. Are you advanced in age?

A friend of my Mother got HIV from tainted blood supply in 1983 or 84. She was in her early forties at the time. Just had a surgery.

Monkey pox disappeared off the radar when young children began contracting it.

Young children in "close proximity to the LGBT 'community,'" to be exact.

That, I don't want to think about.

I like the monkeypox meme, but other than this article, I thought majority of homosexuals had gotten the vaccine, and the rest of us don’t have to worry about this homosexual STD.

Which totally ignores that on the front end, they were pushing for everyone to get their new vax.

The monkeypox vax companies? I must have missed that. But I’ve had smallpox vax.

That was definitely part of the early Monkeypox narrative.

And by the way, it needs to be noted that the k is silent, and pox is short for pockets - of the vax companies.
