I actually found the monkeypox part more interesting:
> If we don’t act right now to contain the spread of monkeypox—if it’s subjected to the same laissez-faire epidemiology, “let it rip” ideology we are using with Covid—how far are you going to let it go? A hundred thousand? Two hundred thousand? A million? Speed is critical. If we quickly work to contain monkeypox, we don’t have to worry about 20 years of having urban rodent pox that spreads to humans. That’s why I’m unhappy about what we’re not doing now. I’m unhappy about letting the cat out of the bag when we still have a bag.
- aurizon 4y agoI think monkeypox vaccine production is ramping up now and doses should appear soon. It is far far less infective than Covid, it can be spread via kissing and intercourse, but does not seem to be be exhaled into the air = no breathing mechanism, but spitting/sneezing can do it as that carries alarge amount of saliva.
