Monkeypox and Sexual Transmission

[MrFanti]

I am confident you will follow up your post with a list, to help us make a judgment.

Are you saying you do, or you do not think 'Monkeypox' should be given a new name?

Go to the CDC page....you'll see (and not limited to)
-Camelpox
-Horsepox
-Raccoonpox
-Skunkpox

And some others...

Hahaha typo 😆 meant MAGA...BUT.... Etc. I admittedly have grammar issues, where to put periods and comma's Etc.

For those who exist in the real world, this is a good article about how the US has stuffed up the response to this virus. https://www.vox.com/future-perfect/2...nization-lgbtq

As it says, monkeypox has been around for 50 years in Africa and should have been fairly easy to control, given it's not very contagious and there's an effective vaccine. The problem has been a lack of clear messaging, apparently due to sensitivities about targetting the gay community. Far from being alarmist, the health authorties seem to have been too cautious about communicating to those most at risk.

I agree that the messaging hasn’t been effective and health officials have been too cautious in their warnings. For example, they aren’t saying that the current PCR test requires swabbing an active lesion, but those don’t develop for about two to three weeks following exposure, so someone who’s been infected can unknowingly pass MPX along for several weeks. They also aren’t consistently telling people that condoms don’t effectively protect you from MPX exposure [compared: to how well they protect against conventional STIs]
