When I saw myself in the mirror this morning I had like two huge inflamed areas on my neck. It turned out they were pimples, but I was really wondering because I almost never get pimples on my neck.
Anyway, I guess monkeypox is more contaigeous in the imagination than in real life 
Glad it was just pimples
That’s so scary. I’m scared of monkey pox.
What scares me is the thought of a deadly, super contagious disease that we have a very hard time vaccinating and eradicating. I’m scared of something like the Black Plague that killed so many people in the Middle Ages.
I still havent looked it up. Im going to keep my head in the sand lol 
Bubonic plague still happens. But I think you can treat it with antibiotics
They vaccinate for it. It is probably very carefully handled. It wiped out many millions in Europe. They thought they had eradicated the Smallpox virus, but then they discovered some outside their labs. What scares me is the thought that we might come across a super virus that is super deadly and very difficult to develop a vaccination for.
Like covid? That is more a super virus than monkey pox!
Smallpox wiped out the Aztec civilization. It might not always be fatal for Europeans, but to many other ethnicities it is super deadly.
Yeah, we don’t know what is in store for us on the epedemic front. But scientists are pretty clever. They came up with that covid vaccine pretty quick, so I suppose they most likely would be able to develop something for future things as well, unless it’s something that escapes from the mad hatters laboratory.
Humanity owes a great debt of gratitude to the scientists who spent their lives in some lonely lab developing vaccinations for the diseases that are the scourge of humanity - measles, smallpox, the bubonic plague.
I think scientists are very clever at @Mr_Hope
I heard early European settlers in the americas purposely gave native communities sheets from the small pox hospital. Biological warfare basically
I don’t think monkey pox is a big threat. They have registered about 20 000 cases worldwide. That’s not a lot in a global context.
I heard that too. It basically wiped them out.
That’s awful. 15
I heard that too. I don’t think it was too widespread, though. I guess the Indians were too scattered to pass these diseases on to other tribes.
I am not worried. Covid scares me more bc I have several family members who take immune supressing drugs to combat arthritis.
Yeah, I almost have the impression you would have to sleep with someone to contract monkey pox. Well at least covid is getting milder they say.
Supposedly skin on skin contact, non sexual, can do it too.
Idk about the article where I read that though.
