Belgium has become the first country to introduce a mandatory 21-day monkeypox quarantine for those who contact the virus, after three cases were recorded in the country.

The infections were all linked to a festival in the port city of Antwerp, according to the Daily Mail, as Belgium is now one of 14 countries to confirm outbreaks of the viral disease (in addition to suspected, but not confirmed cases in Austria and Greece).

Belgium has become the first country to introduce a mandatory 21-day monkeypox quarantine for those who contact the virus, after three cases were recorded in the country.

The infections were all linked to a festival in the port city of Antwerp, according to the Daily Mail, as Belgium is now one of 14 countries to confirm outbreaks of the viral disease (in addition to suspected, but not confirmed cases in Austria and Greece).

On Sunday, US President Joe Biden said that the recent spread of monkeypox is “something that everybody should be concerned about.”

“It is a concern in that if it were to spread it would be consequential,” he said, speaking from Osan Air Base in South Korea where he was meeting with troops before the Japan leg of his Asia trip.

Biden is reportedly receiving regular updates, according to National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, who told the traveling press pool that the United States has vaccines “available to be deployed.”

UK health officials, meanwhile, have warned that the UK faces a ‘significant’ rise in infections, and the government’s response is ‘critical’ in containing the spread.

I don’t think this is going to spread like the COVID-19
virus has. Sure hope I’m right. What are others seeing?

You have to wonder if some global agency is helping
mother nature along with these viruses.

How convenient just as COVID-19 becomes a non-entity
any longer.

If monkeypox is primarily spread as an STD—which appears to be the case—this could really put a damper on “Pride Month”.

Divine retribution!

Amazing.

In these very modern times, suddenly we’re incapable of handling plagues and poxes, and everything is becoming massively dangerous, to the point we need to keep shutting down and hold people hostage and force them to take shots and use masks, etc.

Amazing how suddenly diseases are all the Bubonic Plague.

Only for those who have the infection? I guess that actually does make sense. But I doubt that is what we would get out of Fauci / Biden.

People voluntarily refraining from promiscuous behavior with multiple partners would probably also solve the problem.

If you are older than 50 you already have had the Monkeypox vaccine. Smallpox vaccine works for it 85% of the time.

New research all be it a small cohort shows antibodies last for effectively a lifetime.

“were all linked to a festival”

Note the careful omission of the nature of the festival.

So, the excuse for mail-in ballots (aka fraud enablers) in the midterms is to be mokey-business instead of a final variant of covid?

Seems the deep state has taken the temperature of the room and realized covid is over. Hence the need for something else, but something similar that they can build on their success with.

For the record, I'm going to say right here, right now I will not lock down, not mask up, not accept any vaccines for monkey pox BS.

As long as one is monogamist one doesn’t need to worry.

If you never get a vaccine, then you have nothing to worry about. Common sense goes a long ways.
