The CDC noted that the virus appears to primarily occur in men who have sex with other men.

And the other men are lying. Gee...what could possibly be causing this?

LJ: are you gonna stick your “expert” nose in on this?

In the late 1800’s, the Micmac Indians of Nova Scotia proclaimed the existence of a botanical-based remedy for smallpox. During this time, Herbert Miles, the Assistant Surgeon to the Royal Artillery, reported that during an outbreak of smallpox “an old squaw going amongst them, and treating the cases with (a botanical) infusion…was so successful as to cure every case”. This botanical infusion was later described as being derived from the carnivorous plant, Sarracenia purpurea [1], [2].

Very interesting, I know nothing about that. From what I’ve read smallpox has about 30% fatality rate; and those who survived often had large pox scars on the body. I don’t know anything more than that. A carnivorous plant; they are likely hard to cultivate, so probably need to be collected from the wild, likely not very common.

So no normal people need to worry about it but should avoid the queer community members as much as possible. And that’s what they call themselves.

I think the correct term is LBTQWERTYWTF.

Negative pressure rooms and full body PPE doesn’t sound like a “hard to spread” and it’s not airborne virus good doctor.

“However, he emphasized the virus could still be dangerous. The case fatality rate for the strain spreading is anywhere from 1% to 4%, according to Gottlieb. He described it as a “disabling” virus that can last for two to four months, causing a fever and sores.

The CDC on Wednesday urged clinicians to identify patients with rash illnesses consistent with monkeypox. People suspected of having the virus should be isolated in a negative pressure room — spaces used to isolate patients — and staff should wear appropriate personal protective equipment around them, according to the agency. “
