Monkeypox

Summerville, SC, Us

Seems to have quieted down a bit on this monkeypox. Haven't really heard anything about it. Guess nobody cares about the gay guys. (Who is currently dealing with this)

For anyone interested in getting vaccinated in Virginia - Richmond City Health District is now vaccinating heterosexual people as well as gay men. Fill out an interest form and be honest about attending clubs, parties, and anonymous partners. I filled it out about two weeks ago, was contacted via email to get an appointment and received my first dose this week.

As far as COVID goes, the availability of in hone rapid tests have made the reporting of cases go way down. Localities are relying on other methods such a waste water monitoring to track cases.

I'm not really one to defend the media, but there are only so many minutes, and the media are in competition for eyeballs.

So what do you expect?

tbrm....okay you got me. But there has really has been almost zero coverage of monkeypox since Monday. You still have a better chance of being struck by lightning or being bitten by a shark as I see it.

That's okay, it's off the radar now and no longer a threat after the Trump raid. And COVID cases/deaths dropped like a stone here in NJ. Amazing, huh?

Monkeypox cases doubling every 8 days. Gay male to bi male swinger to female swinger. Not difficult to foresee.

It's real, it's very contagious but it's basically a gay disease. 95% are gay/bi and the other 5% are lying.

There were 3 covid cases at one time. If it spreads from sexual contact, people with multiple sex partners (typical swingers) would be a likely landing spot for monkeypox.

And there are what, 3 cases in the country?

I know people are a bit spooked with COVID, but c'mon...

It spreads through any close contact with an infected individual. They can breath the stuff onto you, they can touch the arm of a chair, they can shake your hand..... Sex just makes the transmission easier.

It may be starting among gay men, but some of them are bisexual. I am not aware of any barrier to heterosexuals getting it. I wouldn’t rest easy yet. The lesions look disgusting.

Comedian Eddie Murphy once said first there was herpes, where you get it for life, then came AIDS, which can kill you. What’s next, you put your dick in and it explodes? (No, monkeypox).
