Idk why they even bothered really, they missed the chance to do uh, fucking anything about it
just pretend it doesn't exist at this point, not like you fucking monsters are gonna do anything except maybe make a state database of all the GAYS
I think you answered your own question, though I would add the caveat: The problem being solvable or not isn't the issue, it's whether it seems solvable. Therefore it's in their interest to make problems look unsolvable through various means, and conversely when they refuse to solve something that is obviously solvable, they must give the appearance of making progress on solving it.
Idk the detaios, but I believe it's because the public health emergency designation makes it easier for federal agencies to kick up production and distribution of smallpox vaccines.
you need to think like a lib: talking about something is the same as doing something. they have declared it an emergency. mission accomplished!
As that one iconic proverb goes:
"The best time to stop a pandemic was 2 months ago. The second best time is now. The first best time is never and learning to live with the virus, Jack." -President Biden
We're going to fight it by declaring a monkeypox party and infecting everyone at once.
Now we get to see how a liberal president handles a pandemic!
I was told that covid wouldn't have been a problem if Hillary was president in 2020 :hillary:
Okay US, now what are you going to do about it? Anything at all?
We’re going to suggest lockdowns, then when boomers threaten to shoot the state capitol up we’ll just apologize and suggest everyone “be cautious” and that’s all.
:frothingfash: Don't you dare tell me to be cautious I'll fucking kill you and myself
according to the cdc, monkeypox (active?) on surfaces for 15 days, incubation period is is usually from 6 to 13 days but can range from 5 to 21 days.
so yeah it's probably not going to go away because it takes too long to go from infection to showing symptoms
Anything at all?
Give more money to Ukraine, the military, and the cops.
boy did that phrase disappear
fucking reddit. herd immunity. deaths aren't going up (deaths lag cases).
"We're prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus," Becerra said Thursday. "We urge every American to take monkeypox seriously and to take responsibility to help us tackle this virus."
Why would every American need to take it seriously if it only affects "the gays"? Unless...the gays turned all of us gay without us even realizing it? :frothingfash:
From what I understand the stockpile of vaccines is vanishingly small. Like thousands or tens of thousands of doses in the whole country. It's going to be a while before vaccines are widely available.
pretty much i started to come down with symptoms a couple days ago and called every single hospital in half the state that was listed as giving out the vaccine and all of them had no doses
Might be useful to you?
Process of getting prescribed TPOXX
Letter from the CDC recommending pain medications be prescribed
Glad I could help - I hope you're able to get care and it turns out mild for you!
so far ive only got 4 rashes and only 1 in my mouth so i feel pretty blessed compared to some of the other pics ive seen
Damn, I've seen pictures of mouth lesions and they seem like they hurt pretty bad. You're right though, it could definitely be worse... it's such a nasty virus.
one day it was like leaking the taste of blood and super painful but since then its not too bad
So how do I protect myself from this, wear gloves and a mask I guess?
Also probably have to sanitize groceries and shit you bring in again. You may be eligible for a vaccine, depends where you are. I've seen a few places giving out vaccines if you're AMAB or a transman and have had or are planning on having sex with men.
Beyond sanitizing food and items that enter your home - which I imagine most people will not bother with - you should avoid putting your bare skin in contact with surfaces that may have monkeypox on it. Monkeypox lives for months to years depending on conditions and might be able to enter through your skin directly without any abrasions needed. Big things to look out for are public transport, hotels, gyms.
