Global monkeypox threat upgraded to 'moderate' by World Health Organization amid fears virus will jump to animals and never be eradicated
2022-05-31
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]
  • The UK Health Security Agency confirmed 71 new cases in today, bringing the UK total since May 6 to 179
    How many of ‘em went to that recent Gay Pride festival in Spain, or have interacted with someone who has?
  • WHO said outbreak is 'moderate risk' because clusters have been reported in different places simultaneously

  • The outbreak, which was first detected in early May, has spread to 24 countries and struck 106 Britons

  • The UN health agency said risk from the virus 'could become high' if it spreads to more vulnerable groups

  • WHO said surge in infections suggests virus 'may have been circulating unrecognised' for weeks or longer

  • There are growing concerns that monkeypox will spill into wild animals and never be eradicated
    I’m confused. Doesn’t monkey pox come from an animal reservoir, which has never been eradicated?

#9  ^ Yes. And "jump to animals?" How is that going to happen? Yuck.

How do you think it jumped to humans in the first place? Yuck is right.

#6  "Gay Pride Festival in Spain"

So Gay-Pox has well established itself mainly in the LGBT?? community and spreading.

Sounds reminiscent of the start of AIDS back in the 1981.

#3  Medical science has reverted a hundred years by throwing out sound statistical analysis. I'm still waiting for that AIDS pan-epidemic that was suppose to sweep the straight community in the 80s.
