But before anyone freaks out(media already starting with the scary headlines). It's not an efficient virus at spreading from person to person unless you have close personal contact.

This doctor on a local news station talks about it before the scary new virus narrative started.

Is there a scary narrative? Most articles I've read are pretty clinical about it. Or aren't very concerned.

World Health Organization confirms 92 cases of monkeypox with outbreaks in 12 countries

The WHO said the recent monkeypox outbreaks are unusual because they are occurring in countries where the virus is not endemic.

Is this like Shingles, Lyme and Chicken Pox? Don’t we have vaccines already for these kinds of outbreaks?

This is like after a plane crashes and the news starts freaking out every time there is turbulence for a few months.

Every single virus outbreak will become breaking news for the next few years, regardless of how big a deal it is.

my sister has.

unfortunately she got back in 2010ish when NO ONE knew about it with the exception of a Dr in North Carolina- she spent 2 years tyring to figure out and everyone kept saying lyme disease, acquired meat allergy.

Then FINALLY in 2014 or so she found this Dr and finally had an answer- something to do with the tick saliva.

and she now has red meat allergy.

It will turn you into a rice crispy bar, but has a mortality rate of less than 1%.

Lots of stories coming out of Europe claiming that more gay and bisexual men are coming down with the disease than others.

The state epidemiologist was on WWL yesterday. He wasn't too concerned about it. You'll first develop a rash. Those will
turn into blisters resembling chicken and small pox,but not as serious. Those blisters will scab over and when they fall
off, you are no longer contagious. It's just media hype .
