This is a foolish line of thinking, and dangerous.

If the CDC has no obligation to ensure the health and safety of people, then we, as people, should not be listening to them.

Have you seen this yet?



We've already fucked our response to this. IF skin to skin contact continues to spread this COULD hit kids and schools hard. I honestly don't think Americans can follow 2 public health safety protocols.

I haven't no... I will watch when I get a few minutes!

The current framing of monkeypox as a gay sex disease will definitely put queer people at risk when kids start getting it. We already fight discriminatory lies about gay people being "groomers"... this will make that 10x worse

Luckily a lot of people are smart enough to get vaccinated.

Ensuring the health and safety of all people is impossible in a country like the US.

All we can really do is educate the people to the best of our ability and offer them options and incentives. Ideally, options which eliminate the problem.

And then institute restrictions when necessary to keep epidemics at bay.

Monkeypox is spread by skin-to-skin contact, not by sexual penetration.

But you are right about the persecution of the gay community if this widely spreads to children. That could be really ugly.

I should be able to murder people who don't wear masks in self-defense. /s

Fluid exchange was the main described method of transmission, so it ended up being associated with "the gays"
 
I’m pretty much the only person I know who hasn’t got Covid. I don’t particularly play it safe either. I’ve only worn a mask when mandated.

I think we’re genetically predisposed to get it, or not.

I thought the same until I got it. Be careful, it sucked for me.

I do know some folks who never got it even though their family in their household did.

My son-in-law got it and never passed it to my daughter or their two kids. Then the nanny brought it into the house and everyone else got it two weeks later. Weird.

Me too. My youngest got it and gave it to my wife and I. My two eldest have not (and they have been training and playing basketball throughout covid in several states, only wearing masks when mandated).

My mom just came down with it yesterday...

I know several people who never tested positive despite having multiple people sick with COVID and testing positive in their same households. Yet, despite never testing positive, some of those people have antibodies in their blood (the blood is tested when donating blood).

Viral load clearly plays into test results. Some people never show symptoms. While I believe folks that say they've never tested positive or shown/felt symptoms, at this point, I'd have a hard time believing anyone who says they haven't had it. Unless they're full recluse and haven't gone out at all. The second time I had it, I wouldn't have even known I had it, aside from a positive test I took when others around me had COVID (and the brain fog that followed a couple weeks later).

From the friend or two I have that are tied to virology programs, COVID has actually caused a fairly significant paradigm shift in studies and hypotheses related to viruses (and all sorts of other illnesses). There are some fairly significant medical breakthroughs coming from the COVID epidemic.

All I know is I don't want it again! Lol. I was the last to get it in my family and had the longest symptoms. My daughter was only sick for like a day with symptoms. She bounced back so fast and we were scared it would affect her worse because of her health complications.

First time I had it, it sucked. That was a month before it was even a thing here in the US and things shut down. I just thought it was like the worst headache I’d ever had (and for three days).

Second time, no big deal aside from testing positive for two full weeks.

yeah I’ve been around it with people who had it. Hugged people who had it. Had long conversations close to people who have had it. But I’ve never got it.

I gave my aunt a long hug and talked to her for a long time in close proximity at my wedding. Her and her husband tested positive the next day and I was spared.

So who knows?

That sucks for you my man.

Yeah I think my genes are too strong for this disease. I’ve tried to catch it but no luck
