I am calling bullshit on this monkey shit pox before it ever starts.

I will use entirely appropriate language.

"5. Is Monkeypox fatal? - Studies of human Monkeypox in rural central and West
Africa – where people live in remote areas and are medically underserved – have
reported case-fatality ratios of 1% to 10%."

This means that in the asshole of nowhere, with no sanitation, no med services to prevent secondary and opportunistic infections, no proper nutrition, no anything to speak of monkey shit might kill you, but there is at least a 90% chance it won't.

"Monkeypox in the United States

An outbreak of monkeypox virus occurred in the Midwestern United States in 2003. The virus was imported with a shipment from Ghana of more than 700 squirrels and rodents that included Gambian giant rats, rope squirrels, brushtail porcupines, tree squirrels, striped mice, and dormice. These animals, at least some of which were infected with monkeypox, were intended as pets and were distributed to many states. One such transfer of some Gambian giant rats and dormice went to a facility in Illinois where they were housed in the vicinity of U.S. prairie dogs that were also intended as pets. The prairie dogs became infected by the virus and were subsequently distributed in seven states including Illinois. A total of 71 people in six states became ill with monkeypox contracted from the prairie dogs, 18 of whom were hospitalized. Half of the cases were confirmed by laboratory testing (Fig. 7.8). There were no deaths from this West African strain of monkeypox, which as described causes a milder illness in humans than does the Central African strain."

A perspective:

At one time small pox was a mass murdering plague. And then there was sanitation and good nutrition and small pox became nothing, even before the "vaccine". The American Indians died of smallpox because they were filthy. That's just a fact.

So now comes monkey shit. We have antibiotics against secondary and opportunistic infections. We have washing machines for bed linens and clothes. We have ample nutrition. We have showers and soap. We are not in the asshole of nowhere.

The real danger is that this monkey shit could get deep enough to drown people.

As I said, appropriate language.
