  No airborne spread. Transmitted through sex. We're safe as houses. :p

    In that case HNers are safe :-) But I am afraid it is is transmissible by 'respiratory droplets'. > "Monkeypox virus is transmitted from one person to another by close contact with lesions, body fluids, respiratory droplets and contaminated materials such as bedding." https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/monkeypox https://www.who.int/news-room/fact-sheets/detail/monkeypox

      Old crypto joke: "Major STD outbreak; bitcoin users unaffected."

  Reading Wikipedia on monkeypox, there have been multiple outbreaks before, outbreaks that we never heard about. Supposedly, we're better at tracing now, if it really blows up we're better prepared than ever before.

  This is fear-mongering. You cannot predict the future and the CDC tracks dozens of novel virus outbreaks each year that never go anywhere. It’s less transmissible, and responds to vaccines that we already have.
