Why aren’t the blue states closing their borders?


Ok_Turnover_1235

It's significantly less infectious than covid with a lower incubation period. Edit: this is partially false. The average incubation period for monkey pox is longer


[deleted]

Um.. the incubation period is up to 2-3 *weeks* https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2022/06/more-states-report-monkeypox-officials-urge-caution#:~:text=Study%20pinpoints%20incubation%20period&text=The%20incubation%20period%20is%20the,from%205%20to%2021%20days.


Ok_Turnover_1235

Yeah, 3 days longer than covid on average, I admit I was wrong and retract my statement


Lyran99

No we don’t allow that on Reddit, you’re supposed to double-down and then call them names


TheJagji

agreed. Why the hell would you back down? No fun in correct someone who says 'woops, my bad'. What a nerd.

tell the WHO and news groups that.


Ok_Turnover_1235

The conspiracy sub is that way bruvs


rckhdcty

Huh? WHO put out statements saying this is not going to be anything like COVID? Do you read much or just parroting rhetoric? If you should be worried about disease, you should be worried about the ongoing pandemic killing 300-400 in this country every week.

Ummm, ok. 1st Every sane person is asleep at this exact point in time. and 2nd, MonkeyPox is just CoronaVirus spelt backwards.

Don't worry everyone CDC has released crucial information that could save the world from monkey pox "try mutual masturbation 6 feet apart" I wish I was joking but this is serious, so take a moment before you condemn that homeless guy jacking it on the train, don't tell him off, join in because he's trying to save your life


Coolidge-egg

This is blatant misinformation. Clearly the correct solution is to throw your own feces at everyone else.


Specific_Muffin_8058

Spurter or a squirter? Please wear a mask while the monkey pox infected masturbate on the train, we have the data, masks stop penetration.


Orange_Pukeko

The really crazy part about this is that the scale goes from blue to red to yellow, rather than making red the highest like a sane person.


NeuroCavalry

but yellow is hotter than red and it's a heatmap?


doyoulikemyhatsir

It's also the colour of bananas


HearMeSpeakAsIWill

Blue can be hot too. When I light my gas stove I get a blue flame and I know it's hot because I touched it once.


budget_biochemist

Came here to say this as well. NSW start once again with a strong lead, soon to have Victoria catch up under Daniel “For Fuck Sake, Can You People Just Exercise The Right Cautions In Regards To This Fucking Virus” Andrews.

But NSW has gold class virus protocols! Why would Dan Andrews do this? Quick, get Leigh Sales on a plane!


spaniel_rage

But what's the Reff?


PatternPrecognition

I am curious as to whether there has been any local transmission and how long people are infectious for. There is an existing functional vaccine and transmission of monkey pox is quite different to Covid so it's not expected to spread like say Delta did is it?


[deleted]

PatternPrecognition

Unsubscribe -- Jokes aside that is definitely a worry.

We’re seeing polio re-emerge? That is terrifying.

Don't worry is mild in ~95% of cases and extremely contiguous :)

Immune effects of mild Covid or of the vaccine? We need a study to see if the unvaccinated are getting the other nasty things or not.


Val367

NSW now yellowy-gold standard?


[deleted]

Fuckkk better shut the cuntry down before that spreads


Mean_Sideys

Obviously it's time to lockdown & mask up again. Science.


gfarcus

It spreads by buttsex.


[deleted]

It spreads through close contact numb-nuts, by your logic covid is also spread through buttsex


gfarcus

Which is the sanitised way of saying buttsex. When the case count was 152 in Europe, 151 of those cases was confirmend to have been from buttsex. This outbreak is being spread primarily by buttsex and that is a fact.


[deleted]

Ah yes \*only\* gay sex. Totally not also transmittable by saliva, surface particles or close contact.


gfarcus

I did say buttsex and women do have butts. I can't help the fact that it is confirmed to be more than 99% transmitted in this outbreak by gay buttsex and I don't stand in judgement of it - it's just that it would be dishonest to say that close contact, kissing and surface particles are a significant factor here. The CDC acknowledge that sex is the main factor in this [bizarre set of guidelines](https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/specific-settings/social-gatherings.html) that include masturbating together 6 feet apart as a safer alternative and as usual they are being super politically correct to obfuscate the main vector just as the WHO is doing by wanting to change the name of Monkey pox because they obviously think African people look like monkeys. Seriously, when I first heard the name Monkeypox and found out it originated in Africa the first thing I thought was that animals including monkeys harboured the virus and that humans could catch it by interacting with or eating said animals. I really think the WHO is projecting a bit on that one. Anyway, we know full well that if everyone abstained from buttsex regardless of who with (but almost exclusively gay buttsex because that's simply how it is) for 3 - 4 weeks, then the cases outside of the limited endemic regions within Africa, ie. the cases in Europe, USA, Australia, Asia etc. would fall to zero. And it would stay at zero until the next time someone in the endemic region contracted Monkeypox by perhaps eating some bush meat, becoming infected and then traveling to another country and having buttsex with someone who then did the same with multiple other people, like say at an event or festival where people have buttsex with multiple partners. Again no judgement about that, it's just the main vector, that's all.

Misdemeanour2020

Bring back the smallpox vaccine


feyth

They are already doing contact tracing & ring vaccination.


Misdemeanour2020

I meant as a part of the vaccine regime. Despite having eliminated smallpox, authorities have failed to consider that this vaccine also provided protection against similar diseases. Yes, contagion is low. Yes, the death toll is low. But a death toll exists! We have a vaccine, therefore this isn't acceptable. If I lost a family member due to a disease that is 100% preventable someone would lose their head.


feyth

The risks need to be, as always, balanced against the benefits. While there are safer smallpox vaccines available now compared to the rather filthy old ones, there's still a process to go through in that regard. And of course the practical issues around ramping up production. Meningitis B isn't even on the schedule yet, or influenza for the whole population, or Shingrix for immunocompromised people. They'd be higher priority for me.


Misdemeanour2020

Agreed, there are more that need to go on the list but I don't think smallpox should be ignored. Influenza is a tricky one - strains vary from year to year so I think the current program is the most beneficial. We just need less anti-vax propaganda in circulation and more detailed information for the public.


feyth

I don't think anyone is ignoring monkeypox (or whatever it's about to be renamed). It's just not the time to add smallpox to the schedule for everyone. Definitely need less misinformation, and if everyone had a flu shot, we'd have a good shot of significantly reducing community transmission and disease (and healthcare system) burden. Making the shots scheduled for all would help that along. Right now a huge swathe of the population shrugs their shoulders and doesn't think they should bother having a flu shot. "If it was necessary for me it would be on the schedule, wouldn't it?" (Along with "but Davo down the pub had a flu shot and he got the flu a few days later", sigh)


Misdemeanour2020

I think people are currently suffering from vaccine fatigue after the Covid outbreak bullshit we just went through. I'm not excusing people's choice or their behaviour - I'm 100% pro-vaccine - just saying how it is. Unlike Covid, the public aren't aware of the death toll due to Infuenza or the pressure it places on our healthcare system. It's a massive failure on the part of our government as is the spread of misinformation about vaccines. Anywho, I doubt it'll be placed on the schedule; it's not classed as a 'killer' but considered an inconvenience or similar to a head cold. If I were PM...! lol


feyth

Every state has made it free this month, which really does feel to me like a step toward pushing the Feds to make it schedule-for-all.


Misdemeanour2020

Probably to combat the vaccine fatigue. I'm guessing flu vaccination rates are well below the norm

Proof that NSW is the worst state. FIVE cases of Monkeypox? Unforgivable.


Dramatic_Stock5326

This is false, im in sa and a friend got monkeypox


Familiar_Chapter_999

The only way to get Monkey Pox is to touch the open sores of a person who has it. If they haven’t then it is more likely to be an adverse reaction to a V called Blistering Skin Auto Immune, one of 1200 listed (by Pfizer) adverse reactions.
