As even the Washington Post pointed out, this disease mostly affects men who have sexual relations with other men. And Ace notes the curious absence of derailed advisories.
That's why this is mostly being spread by gay men at orgies and raves and through anonymous sex. Sex is a main way to spread it, and you need to be in physical contact with multiple people to both catch it and then retransmit it.
And yet: There are no advisories from the CDC telling gay men to cool it with the orgies and anonymous sex. No stern warnings to... not even go celibate, but just pick one sexual partner for the duration of the pandemic and be monogamous temporarily.
No, that's too much of an imposition on the gay community.
But when this spreads out to the general population, they'll have no problem telling us our kids will have to remain locked in their homes for a year, will they?
I wonder if our government will be able to milk this thing until the election, so that the usual procedures favoring cheating and fraud can be put in place.
Everyone keeps on spelling that disease wrong -- it's actually "moneypox".
ReplyDeleteOr the "k" is silent. I'm not sure which.
Worth noting that the relevant WHO committee could not reach a decision on the pox status; Tedwhatsisname decided that for himself.
ReplyDeleteSuggests that even at the higher levels of the UN there are a few who can think for themselves, or at least are not abandoning self-preservation for delusions of grandeur.
My family is worried about monkeypox.
ReplyDeleteIf you don't know true lefties who still think if CNN doesn't report it it didn't happen, you can't understand how aggressively ignorant they are.
The fact that you're not freaking out about moneypox* is proof that you're a brainwashed Foxnews drone.
*As per JeffS, whose spelling tips I always follow.
if they're like family, they believe you're the one who's aggressively ignorant.
ReplyDeleteBetween covid, and monkeypox, it would seem that the latter would benefit the most from a 'social distancing' mitigation policy.
ReplyDeleteOr, tell gay men to wear a mask on their johnsons.
My favorite is the jackass who had sex with several men over a weekend, got monkeypox, and claimed "the system failed him".
ReplyDeleteOkay, this is spread through skin to skin contact... maybe warn gays to be careful about poking their junk in some stranger's poop chute?
ReplyDelete"What kind of hateful bigot are you?"
Oops, yeah, right. Okay, it's settled then - we shut everything down!
Rebecca: I'm pretty sure it was his impulse control that failed him.
