I think it's a big deal because viruses get clicks now in the age of covid. The articles often include graphic images to drive engagement. It's a hard to spread virus that currently appears to be concentrated in men engaging in homosexual intercourse. No one has died and they respond well to the existing smallpox vaccine. It's currently media driven and nothing to worry about. That could change but currently nothing to do.

These were all big news too. >> It's a hard to spread virus that currently appears to be concentrated in men engaging in homosexual intercourse. Do these people not matter? Also, have you forgotten HIV? Really struggling to find your point here.
- wonderwonder 4y agoSars, mers, etc. were airborne, monkey pox is not. Monkey pox has hit the US before in 2003, not much media hysteria. I am saying that in the age of covid , viral infections generate clicks. I have not forgotten about hiv, this is not hiv. It's an easily cured, well understood virus with an existing effective vaccine. The point was that with the current method of spread already understood and identified as requiring direct intentional contact that this is not a virus we should all be panicking and isolating over.
