"Monkey Pox"
« on: May 25, 2022, 11:41:49 AM »

Apparently rare: however, I don't call 71 cases in the UK 'rare'.  Is this something that 'they' are trying to play down?  Usually a problem in parts of Africa, this is now spreading World Wide.

I’d never heard of it tbh.
Looks horrible.
I read in one paper it’s more prevalent in the gay community, not sure if that’s right. 🤷🏼‍♀️

It is affecting others though  :-\.  Usually confined to Africa.  Apparently.

It's a worry when those affected haven't been in contact with each other, not even on a flight  :o.  It can be 'caught' by changing infected sheets ........ where have we heard that B4?  The Press are saying 'don't panic' ..... where have we heard that B4  :-\

Small pox vaccines are being offered to those infected.  Bit horse after stable door ?
