'[...]

"In light of evolving circumstances on the ground, I am declaring a public health emergency on #monkeypox," Becerra said in a statement. "We are prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus and we urge every American to take monkeypox seriously."

[...]

The monkeypox outbreak has infected more than 6,600 Americans. The emergency declaration frees up federal money and other resources to fight the virus, which may cause fever, body aches, chills, fatigue and pimple-like bumps on many parts of the body. A public health emergency can be extended, similar to what happened during the COVID-19 pandemic.

[...]

Last week, the World Health Organization called monkeypox a public health emergency, with cases in more than 70 countries. A global emergency is the WHO's highest level of alert, but the designation does not necessarily mean a disease is particularly transmissible or lethal.

[...]

The monkeypox virus spreads through prolonged and close skin-to-skin contact as well as sharing bedding, towels and clothing. Health officials have emphasized that the virus can infect anyone, but the people who have gotten sick so far have been primarily men who have sex with men.

So basically, don't be a slut and you won't get sick.

And they call this 'news' when that's been common sense ever since the sexual revolution happened and doctors figured out why everyone started getting sick.
Yes, that is what it comes down to practically speaking.

'The World Health Organization on Wednesday recommended that gay and bisexual men cut back on the number of sexual partners to reduce the spread of monkeypox, after the WHO's monkeypox expert, Rosamund Lewis, noted that men who have sex with men are the group with the highest risk of infection right now, CNBC reports.

Around 99% of cases are among men, while 95% of those are men who have sex with men, Lewis added.

"For men who have sex with men, this includes for the moment, reducing your number of sexual partners, reconsidering considering sex with new partners, and exchanging contact details with any new partners to enable follow up if needed," said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who added that it's critical for public health authorities to communicate to the gay community in order to reduce the transmission of the virus.

[...]

Monkeypox is primarily spread through skin-to-skin contact during sex. According to the WHO's Lewis, the virus will have an opportunity to continue spreading if people don't limit the number of sex partners and anonymous sexual contact.'

I understand your concern. If you engage in hedonistic endeavours that are linked to highly unsanitary activities, please reconsider for the sake of yourself. If your hedonistic desires are linked to a spreading disease you are also endangering the greater public. Maybe try dark chocolate and a nice game of crysis instead.

Don't be like him. Also, NSFW. lol

'My 2 cents: it’s reductive to tell gay people to not have sex, it didn’t work in the early days of AIDS and clearly it’s not working now. But do your best to make educated choices, check your counties case numbers frequently, and if you can, avoid groups and anon encounters.'

He doesn't seem optimistic.

It's not about not having sex, it's about not humping everything that breathes.
That is true. If you keep to one partner there will be no spread. So it is important not to engage in this type of activity with strangers or even groups of people.

hey don't worry. I'm sure there are some giant coperations profiting over the suffering of others. Like for example. Covid19 vaccines being patented, making it damn near impossible for other (less rich) countries to afford it.

Oh, I wasn't aware we were the world's only medicine supplier. Nigeria might want to get their shit together instead of 'fucking around', because they're 'finding out' right about now.

Can you explain to me why this is coming up in relation to #Monkeypox?
