Well since there's no reasonable way to protect myself from intra-household pox infection (seems like) I guess all my work to protect from covid will end up for naught when I'm afflicted by the boomer pox.

I think the question with Monkeypox will be if community transmission really takes off. If it does, then yes, we are spectacularly hosed and your best bet is to barricade yourself in your house and steam clean your groceries and I'm not kidding.

intentionally spreading COVID to uninfected people wasn't a scenario I saw playing out when this all started but I am not surprised

I've got the parlay of monkeypox and covid fusing together

it's no big deal if it's everywhere because it's mild

My washing machine doesn't have a 60 degrees C setting. it has "cold," "warm," and "hot"

Hot water is generally 130 degrees Fahrenheit (54 degrees Celsius) or above.
Warm water is generally between 90 and 110 degrees Fahrenheit (32 to 43 degrees Celsius).
Cold water is generally between 60 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit (16 to 27 degrees Celsius).

fun thought. vintage clothing stores that doesn't religiously rotate stock, without a doubt have items for sale that were not washed after they were sourced, and have been sitting on the rack for literal years, collecting the dermal crusts of every customer who tries them on, in addition to the decades that came before that

i read a good thread on twitter about mpx from a sensible virologist and he suggested that it seems like it’s been active under the radar for a while to get it this entrenched (versus measles level infectivity from an airport encounter or whatever)s

same reason though obv different mechanism that the spanish flu was so bad

psh mpx is old school i’m infected with the bonobo mosaic virus

diy it :v

Meeting says the return to office on 6/6 is still going forward and he's looking forward to seeing everyone's smiling faces back in the office, then followed up with information on transit options. lol

Then he said that people shouldn't worry about getting sick anymore because covid is mild now and deaths are low. He reminded everyone that masks are optional lol

So everything I've read about monkeypox says if you get it once you won't get it again. Am I missing something here? Did we find out that you can get monkeypox over and over?

Reading about cow pox vaccination, apparently what they would do in 1800 is scratch the healing blister from one person and then scratch another person to innoculate them. They could pass the vaccine from person to person with needing refrigerators or supply lines.

What I'm saying here is goon project.

Ya know how businesses all went in the whole hand sanitizers and cleaning surfaces for Covid instead of upgrading their HVAC and improving air circulation?

It would be hilarious if they decide that it's just too expensive to do all that again for monkeypox and just put up something ineffective that's cheaper. I'm thinking they'll put up some blue led lights and claim it's UVC that'll take care of monkeypox and call it a day.

Hey remember when the FDA relaxed regulations and we ended up with a bunch of cancerous hand sanitizer

i went to the hospital last week and it was just surreal. the waiting room was in complete disarray, chairs scattered randomly so that nobody could walk through, every one of them taken with additional people standing and patients in wheelchairs just parked randomly. nobody was allowed to have a family member or anything with them because there wasn't enough space, so there were young kids with open wounds sitting by themselves and manual wheelchair users with nobody to push them to the counter (and no clear pathways do do it) as their names were called over and over by the registration nurse... they were short-staffed enough that some people bypassed this rule, and this one person came in with their elderly mother and was walking around offering to pour peanuts into people’s hands (“it’ll be totally contactless!”). many of them were sanitizing their hands every few minutes but removing their masks regularly to eat snacks. someone had severe weeping edema and took the opportunity to elevate her leg when an extra chair was momentarily available, and she leaked all over it until a staff came and told her she wasn’t allowed to use two chairs, and he made her move so a sick kid could sit there in the puddle.

Either way I can't quite make up my mind which is worse between:
1) Monkeypox has mutated to become more infectious or
2) COVID has caused immunosuppression to the extent that the same old monkeypox is now more infectious.
