Monkey Pox

[Cassandra]

First Monkeypox case confirmed in Scotland.  Sturgeon will be looking forward to her daily press conferences no doubt 

Expect full Jockdown later this week, but definitely in time for the 'Platinum Celebrations', you know what a libertarian Nicola is ...

She is in her own lockdown as she tested positive for Covid on her return trip from meetings.

Seems like the jabs and masks don't stop folks getting it....

[Scrumpy]

It doesn't stop you getting it..
It .. could stop it killing you though..

Lol, that's just done the rounds on my WhatsApp.

She probably picked it up when she was caught not wearing a mask recently.

Monkey pox. How it all started.

It seems that we are world leaders in something at least

[Diasi]

Maybe we have more monkeys.

Those Spaniards look to be making a challenge though. We could lose the title. They clearly haven't seen the test Oy found or they'd be a bit more certain what pox they've caught.

Maybe we've got more Africans arriving on our shores ?  well somebody had to say it !

Just came across another twist in the monkey pox story.

https://www.theepochtimes.com/gender-self-identification-could-be-muddling-monkeypox-outbreak-data-in-uk_4555802.html?slsuccess=1

The nature of the monkeypox outbreak might be muddled by gender self-identification, according to experts, as it emerged that the one percent of infected female individuals in the UK could in fact be biologically male.

An Infectious Disease Behaviorist told The Epoch Times that while it's true for accuracy that data on both sex and gender is important, focusing on how someone identifies in society is pandering to politics and risks "weakening public health surveillance systems."

The UK has the highest current recorded levels of the tropical disease in the current outbreak which is spreading predominantly amongst and affecting gay or bisexual men. The number of confirmed cases is 793 as of June 22.

Sounds to me like the old adage  "Flies spread diseases. Keep yours zipped" is applicable in this.

Of course HMG will never post the ethnic profiles of the 'Monkeypoxers' but I'd hazard a guess?
