Can’t wait for us to try nothing to stop this and then be all out of options with a disease that has an up to 10% mortality rate in certain strains :covid-cool:

Good news: smallpox vax is ~85% effective against monkeypox, monkeypox tends to be less transmissible than other poxes

Bad news: young people tend to no longer be vaccinated for smallpox, human to human transmission of monkeypox is rare which means we are likely dealing with a new strain (of all cases in Britain, only one has recently been to west Africa but no other patients have or have been in contact with the patient who travelled)

      I genuinely think people would care more about this one because it makes you LOOK fucked up. The ranking of how people will react goes as follows:

      Will it permanently disfigure me? -real shit

      Will it be clear I have an illness by how I look? - I will take the proper precautions

      Will I keep looking normal but it’ll be a shitting disease? - I take it pretty seriously

      Will it be like covid? - I sleep
