On june 28th, 45 days ago, that number was 244.
Last friday it was ~7,500, and today its ~11,200
taking all bets, who's got a timeline of how this goes from here?

Joe Brandon’s CDC continues to do nothing until midterms.
Dems get BTFO in November.
CDC continues to do nothing.
Maybe this time the epidemiologists can have a goddamn spine and call them out on their bullshit
At this point this is all I can hope for which is fucking horrific
Dude, I have a bad cough right now. I am laughing so hard and can't stop coughing.
so do yall have a reliable source about transmission cause seems like everyone says different shit
i still wear my mask whenever i go out and i dont have any physical contact outside of like 3 friends but idk whats going on
same, its february 2020 all over again. I've heard it can survive on surfaces and fabric for a long ass time, so I'm just watching what I touch, washing hands and sanitizing, and wearing a mask, as well as generally minimizing contact with people as much as possible (which is still WAY too much but its that or get fired and be homeless soooo)
Yup the info is a jumbled again. I do know staying covered with clothes is a solid preventive measure. I don't know if the person who doesn't have it has to have any open wounds or anything like that in order to catch it but for now it's probably best to limit all direct contact with strangers. I'm not completely sure about the airborne part either but I have definitely seen many people confirming it can live on surfaces for around 14 days which is scary as hell
It can live on surfaces for far more than 14 days. Saying ”14 days" is so laughably short it qualifies as misinformation - I don't know where that got started. Orthopoxviruses can live on surfaces for months to years. The last study I saw had poxvirus in an envelope just chilling at various random temperatures with basically hardly any loss of viability at 13 years, when they stopped the study. You can't deactivate it with time, sunlight, or soaps.
It is probably the same as chicken pox. The virii is easily spread by touching someone's rash. Also, if you get coughed on. So social diatancing and wearing a mask is probably perfectly effective.

Textbook. However these kinds of virii are not new.

The smallpox virus is a close cousin to the monkey virus. So sharing blankets is more of a concern than it would be for chicken pox. But that is largely just spreading pus or respiratory droplets via a seccondary source. I think at this point in the situation with modern hygene that kidna vector based transmission isn't a huge concern. If things get wild it might become so. That would just mean wearing gloves ontop of masks and social distancing.
My buddy was at a (gay) club in SF the other weekend and some extremely generous (and connected) guy brought enough Monkeypox vaccines for the entire club if they wanted it. He said the vast majority of the people got it there. I wasn't there but the way he described it was this person felt so bad about how gays were treated and vilified during the AIDs crisis that this is a form of reparations. I'm not sure if it's still on going but it was genuinely a good thing and I thought I'd share it
Its gonna be like COVID except instead of pathetic lockdown we get no lockdown and libs won't even pretend to care.
Remember this is a vast undercount. My county isn’t even testing yet and we’ve had cases.
If current trends continue, we will all have monkeypox by 2031
Edit: I did the math and I regret to inform you all but we will all have it by 2024
Worth it for the treats! Stop asking questions, wokie! You should live and let poor porky live!
I've said this before but Im super worried this is going to be used as an excuse to really ramp up the war on lgbt people when kids start getting it during the school year
We'll have at least 3 concurrent pandemics by the next presidential debate, and none of them will be talked about by the candidates.
I literally don't go outside and I got it
very mild case though
Some girl that I added on instagram has pox bumps on her body and I told her to go see a doctor and she just said "i'm unconcerned about it"
????
i've seen people say it feels like shitting glass. if they don't bother her it might not be monkey pox. prob would be safer to get them checked anyways
liberals quit barebacking strangers challenge (impossible)
