      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

      CDC INTERNAL MEMO - INTERNAL DISTRIBUTION ONLY. EXTERNAL RELEASE FORBIDDEN. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.

      We've going to rebrand monkeypox. Current suggestions/ideas...

      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.

              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

              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.
