What I want to know is how efficient airborne transmission is. But instead I expect every pundit on tv and every covid ghoul pundit (at the NYT, the WaPo) will be telling us not to panic.
how long until they change the name to something other than MONKEYPOX?
I mean the disease only existed in non human primates, with very limited human transmission up until now. Longest chain of human transmission up until now was 6 humans long.
If it spreads rapidly the name will change, like how HIV went for the simian immunodeficiency virus to the human immunodeficiency virus. Wonder what it will be called, humanpox?
cause it can also be transmitted sexually im sure itll just keep the name and theyll use it to be racist and homophobic

Mpox
Please attach your suggestions. And take note that suggestions/ideas must be hashtaggable. The winner will receive a $50 Starbucks gift card. Runners up will receive a $10 Starbucks gift card. Winners and runners-up will all receive a "Well Done!" plaque of appreciation with handwritten signature and note from the CDC director.
Rumors that "Mpox" has already been chosen and that the CDC has gotten permission from Hanson to make our own musical cover of their 1995 song "MMMBop" are entirely incorrect. We have yet to choose a winner or pick runners up. But suggestions with excellently chosen musical tie-ins can only improve your chances of success.
I can, this site is fucking weird
Edit: what the fuck, if you zoom in, it’s extremely high-def
Pepsi did a weird amount of research into the logo redesign and a lot of the models explaining why it looks the way it does are kinda insane
LOL i completely forgot about this
I am sure they paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for that report
Some designer doing sacred geometry on the south Korean flag to milk pepsi for more money for the new logo lmao
Pepsi. I dunno if it comes this specifically, but they had some marketer or CEO produce a report of their logo and it was pretty unhinged. Something about the speed of light etc.
Yeah, here it is, Pepsi paid hundreds of millions for this.

:vegan-edge: we've been saying it for decades, it's all over folks. Disease after disease will come as we destroy biodiversity. :doomer:
Vegan anarchism, derived by the ALF https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anarchism_and_animal_rights
Honey, AIDS v2 just dropped :doomjak:
I really hope not
Nah, it's not like AIDS.
You can also catch this from coughing. :agony-consuming:
Ok I googled and long term complications of monkeypox are sepsis, bronchopneumonia and blindness.
Wtf AAAAAAAAAAAAA
If this shit spreads, people are going to freak out about the smallpox vaccine, it's an old school infectious vaccine that has a 1 in 10 000 rate of myopericarditis. Myocarditis has a fatality rate of 14%. A sizeable amount of people will die in the event of a widespread vaccination campaign, a lot less than from monkeypox but still. Vaccinating 300 million people in the USA would lead to around 4000 people dying.
I really hope this stuff doesn't spread, it's vile.
Yeah, people are already saying "it's different, we have a vaccine!"
Motherfuckers, you WILL NOT LIKE the results of a mass smallpox vaccination campaign in the 21st century.
People thought the COVID 19 vaccine was bad, the smallpox one makes it look like nothing in comparison in terms of side effects. Even something like eczema prevents you from getting it. That's 20% of children and 3% of adults that won't be able to get such a vaccine. And, like I said, a mass vaccination campaign of 300 million vaccinated will kill around 4000 people in the US. Still much better than the death rate of a monkeypox outbreak of that size, that would kill between 9 and 18 million people.
There's also a very effective smallpox antiviral, but it's not being produced widely at the moment.
Me reading this as someone who has a million eczema triggers and is currently going through a flare-up thats making my skin peel off :side-eye-1::side-eye-2:
I was just saying that IIRC the antiviral has pretty nasty side-effects. I deleted it because I wasn't sure if I was right.
I mean it probably does, but as with smallpox and monkeypox itself, the side effects will be preferable to going though an infection without treatment
Airbone is now a thing as well, transmission though bodily fluids in sex and the fucking air even.
What does long monkeypox look like folks?
Interesting, let's see what MF DOOM had to say on the subject:
I'm like anywho's
Seeds walkin' all out in street with out any shoes
I guess it's better than some funky socks
You need to get her some skips before she catch the monkey pox
Instead she wanna hear the beatbox
Take pills and make fake krills as sheetrock
Sing it
Bring it, back to your laboratory
While he's in his oratory
Glorious like a horror story
It is usually mild, although there are two main strains: the Congo strain, which is more severe – with up to 10% mortality – and the West African strain, which has a fatality rate in about 1% of cases.
How is something with 10% mortality “mild”?
Honestly at this point, I'm just feelin numb this is stupidest timeline a bunch of people will die if this gets serious just like covid, and what will Americans do? Fucking nothing 😑
Im just really tired :agony-4horsemen:
I feel like it may be taken a little more seriously in the US because there are physical effects you can actually see. For a lot of people that's all it takes for the difference between taken seriously and treated as a joke.
and what will Americans do? Fucking nothing 😑
I figure this time it'll be worse than nothing. At least at the beginning of COVID basic public health measures weren't as relentlessly politicized.
If another pandemic kicks up I'd bet that rightoids will start shooting up vaccination centers.
