The next big scare?

[d.kaufman]

I would have been 37, soon to turn 38 in 1987. It would've been weird for me to go trick-or-treating.

And who's to say I didn't trick-or-treat till I was 50

It’s almost like something went around in the past couple years that weakened peoples immune systems…

Maybe like a mandate or something

What freakin' idiots... don't just, you know, cancel the festival.

Demand for monkeypox vaccine far outpaces supply. Louisiana officials fear spread will continue.

Even as Louisiana receives thousands of doses of the monkeypox vaccines, officials say it’s likely not enough to ward off further spread of infection with the approach of the Southern

Even as Louisiana receives thousands of doses of the monkeypox vaccines, officials say it’s likely not enough to ward off further spread of infection with the approach of the Southern Decadence Festival, the annual LGBTQ celebration that typically draws 250,000 people to the French Quarter over Labor Day weekend.

“There needs to be some pretty heavy messaging locally to remind all participants that this is a disease transmitted through close physical contact,” said Susan Hassig, an epidemiologist at Tulane University who studies infectious diseases.

Hassig suggests attendees should wear long pants and shirts in crowds, even though temperatures are likely to be high.

“If somebody’s got lesions on their hand, a handshake is a potentially transmissible process,” said Hassig. “If you're dancing in a club and nobody is wearing shirts, the lesions on the arms, the chest, the back could be potentially a mechanism of contact.”

Although monkeypox can be painful and cause scarring, there is a low risk of serious outcomes like death or hospitalization. Immunocompromised people, children and pregnant people are more at risk, and everyone should be aware of close contact in large crowds in the coming months.

“This is not going to stay in the gay community,” said Hassig. “Any kind of venue where you can come in contact could potentially result in transmission if someone with monkeypox is interacting with you.”

Or, just declare that the disease is non existent during "leftist" events, like they've done before.

I guess they’d rather have a Monkeypox outbreak than tell the gay community to shutdown to stop the spread.

I would think Mandatory Liberty Destroying Lockdowns are in order here? Sorry forgot what is good for the goose is not good for the gander.

And who's to say I didn't trick-or-treat till I was 50

My best Halloween ever I was over 40. Was the "Terror train" from Duluth MN to Two Harbors MN. You had to have a ticket($65),be over 21,and be in costume to get on the train(not optional,you had to agree and sign you would be in costume when you purchased your ticket(s). It had live music,2 bar cars,food,dance car,and started and ended at bars. It was fun.

I have been in Vegas on Halloween night and it is fun,but borders on insanity.

Oh yeah, I've been to parties and whatnot, but I didn't go house to house looking for treats. In fact, I got pulled over once on the way to a party, dressed in full clown makeup (minus the rubber nose). Cop walked up and looked at me and said, "Going to, or coming from?" I said, "Going to." He let me go with a warning - I had inadvertently cut him off when I was merging onto a surface road from the interstate and he was in my blindspot. I apologized profusely and he was cool about it.

Ummm I think the Wingnuts just declared a public health emergency at 1440ET. If so and they play the mandate game again, I think people have had enough. Guess we'll find out. A quick search show NY as the "test" emergency 5 days ago. Idiots. Can't see this turning out well......

i seem to recall back in late february, early march a news story about a truck load of monkeys being transfered from one biolab to another. the truck crashed and most of the monkeys were captured. one was put down or captured later the same day.

2 or 3 days later the first case of monkey pox was reported.

Truck crashed in January, all monkeys were accounted for.

A collision between a dump truck and a trailer carrying about 100 monkeys on Friday scattered crates of live animals across a road in Montour County, Pennsylvania, and prompted a search for a "small number of monkeys," the state police said.

The one woman who had contact did get sick.

Monkeypox cases started in May, right before Pride month (gee, wonder what the connection is to this outbreak)

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Crowder has this nifty PSA to help all y’all avoid the pox.

100,000 Americans killed last year by China's Fentynalpox, meh. A few thousand get a pimple and a blister... National EMERGENCY!

grain of salt about this, though I recall several articles saying that the mRNA therapies were going to leave more people immunocompromised.

Prof. Shmuel Shapira MD MPH (Col.), who served as Director of the Israel Institute for Biological Research between 2013 and 2021, suggested that the monkeypox outbreak was connected to mRNA vaccines.

SMH why is it even a question...

Oh wait, because it's about power and not insulting protected groups. They'd loose control if people acted responsibly and this died out on it's own.

Health Officials Debate Whether To Tell Gay Men To Cut Back On Sex Due To Monkeypox

Public health officials, particularly in heavily-blue jurisdictions, are struggling to decide whether or not to tell gay men to have less sex to avoid monkeypox

dailycaller.com

Zandt Bryan, sexual health and prevention program manager for the state of Washington, said it’s unfair to place the onus on individuals to change their behavior to avoid the virus.

She must have been stuck in a cave for the past 2 years.

One health official who did preach abstinence was Don Weiss, director of surveillance for New York City’s Bureau of Communicable Disease. Weiss wrote to colleagues in June that “we cannot vaccinate our way out of this” and that he knows he sounds “like a bible thumping preacher,” but the only way out was to prevent exposure.

“This disease is entirely preventable had we the courage to send out prevention messages,” Weiss wrote in another email which he later published on his website. “We seem paralyzed by the fear of stigmatizing this disease while we totally ignore the epidemiology.”

Weiss was eventually reassigned, the Post noted.

The only logical conclusion is they want a crisis.
