Will the nutters at the WHO call for gay and bisexual men to be locked down?
I wonder what he was studying. Must have included some language exchange.
He was definitely one of the 2 percent. He hadn’t even heard of MONKEYPOX. Straight to see the doctor when he got back to Taiwan though.
More likely to want everyone else to be vaccinated instead.

Seems like it’s easy to contract.
From the article: “At this time, it is not known if monkeypox can spread through semen or vaginal fluids.”
I’ll just put this here, because that’s the right thing to do.
Not only a monkey bumming flag, our poor canine friends are not safe either!

The men had presented with anal ulceration 6 days after sex with other partners,” the paper said. “In patient 1, anal ulceration was followed by a vesiculopustular rash on the face, ears, and legs; in patient 2, on the legs and back. In both cases, rash was associated with asthenia, headaches, and fever 4 days later.”
I read a stat that over 50 percent of the people diagnosed with MP also have HIV.
Safe sex people.
And don’t have sex with animals.
*“Twelve days after symptom onset, their male Italian greyhound, aged 4 years and with no previous medical disorders, presented with mucocutaneous lesions, including abdomen pustules and a thin anal ulceration,” The Lancet outlined. “The dog tested positive for monkeypox virus by use of a PCR protocol adapted from Li and colleagues that involved scraping skin lesions and swabbing the anus and oral cavity.”
“The men reported co-sleeping with their dog. They had been careful to prevent their dog from contact with other pets or humans from the onset of their own symptoms,” the paper added.*
Surely that means they just slept in the same bed as the dog, not bummed it?

Hope so too, but…
So how are authorities in the PRC responding to the arrival of monkeypox? Judge for yourself.

They are trying not to offend other people too. What high risk activity are they talking about?

First local cases reported.
Anyone aware of the process for registering for a second monkeypox vaccine?
