I was inspired by a post over at Filthie’s Log Of Ease, where our noble host wonders just how Monkey Pox, or Mpox, is spread. Here's a link to the article: Walking On The Wild Side.
From the article by Glen Filthie:
Near as I can tell Monkey Pox is pretty much Darwin and Murphy hating on queers. If you limit your exposure to them and their lifestyle you have very little to worry about. One is tempted to be complacent and contemptuous of the red alerts coming out of the medicos after the Covid scam… but we can’t afford to do that! [Emphasis mine - MJ]
He's right. Having done a little research on the subject, there are a few key points to consider.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), its highest level of alert, due to a new variant of the mpox viral disease in Africa.
Human-to-human transmission can happen through:
- Direct contact with skin lesions, body fluids, or respiratory droplets of an infected person.
- Prolonged face-to-face contact with an infected person.
- Touching contaminated objects, such as bedding or clothing that have been in contact with the infectious material, although this is a rare mode of transmission.
- The virus enters the body through broken skin, the respiratory tract, or mucous membranes (which include eyes, nose, and mouth).
What the WHO (or anyone else) fails to emphasize is that the virus can survive on a hard surface for up to 30 days. Now isn't that wonderful?
The WHO doesn't issue a PHEIC lightly, but in this case I have a few questions. The virus isn't deadly; I think the last count was apx. 120 dead. However, the virus is traveling through Africa much faster than expected. Think: Africa is a unique combination of stone age villages and wagon rut roads. Travel is slow, but by comparison this virus is moving like a bullet train.
While this virus is rarely fatal, a new strain has already been discovered. How do we know there won't be other strains with a higher fatality rate?
An infected person can transmit the disease up to four days before showing any symptoms. So if you catch the monkey pox, for four days you don't know you're sick but you're perfectly capable of spreading the wealth. You'll infect your family, your friends, and everyone at the office. Now what? Because there is no cure.
Like most diseases of this kind (think HIV, Ebola, Lassa Fever, and Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF)) this disease originated in Africa. So, stay out of Africa.
If we were half as bright as we think we are, we'd interdict Africa. The entire continent. The African population being what it is (look at Zimbabwe as a prime example) if you fly over the continent at night, eventually you'll notice that no lights are on. Leave the continent until you find electric lights at night, then cautiously make contact with whoever is running the show. But we're not that bright, so forget it. Just stay away from anything coming out of Africa, and that includes door-knob sucking butt buddies.
As for me, I'm staying inside and waiting for the other jackboot to fall, because I'm thinking that this particular brand of crud is just getting started. Thanks for reading.

It is to be hoped for that the lessons of the whole Covid experience were carefully assessed and a more effective approach to dealing with a viral pandemic has been developed. Things like overseas travel restrictions, emergency medical facilities and staffing, etc.
On second thought, who am I trying to kid?
One of these days, something seriously f@#$ing nasty is going to come out of China or Africa. What if something came through with a 50% mortality rate, or lifetime disablement? Have we learned enough to effectively deal with it or have we forgotten all about the last five years because it is old news?
Never heard of Monkey Pox but it doesn't sound very nice in fact it sounds down right awful
Now that the Establishment has politically and financially weaponized pandemics, one has to be cautious. The two big things to be cognizant of are the infection and lethality of the organism involved. If we know those, we can use a simple exponential equation to predict (within a couple percent) how many people will die in a given population. That is how I predicted the Covid scam within the first 24 hours. Nobody was even asking about, infection and mortality rates were all over the place, and it just got more ridiculous from there. It doesn’t help that scientists don’t know much about viruses beyond how they propagate.
We don’t know whether viruses are alive or not. They can survive in a dormant state in conditions of freezing cold and lethal radiation. They are so small a mask will never even slow them down. Half assed social distancing won’t work either. The only thing that can stop a virus is a sealed suit with a self contained air supply.
Perhaps the most important thing we learned from Covid is that we are governed by retarded children. If we ever DO face a real, lethal pandemic…we are on our own. Our govts will not be able to help us.
Madman: I'm watching for something on the order of the Black Death, coming to us courtesy of a laboratory in, say, Whuhan China.
Jo-Anne: Commercial media refused to report on it because of the name, and because it was brought to us courtesy of butt boys. It's being spread largely through homosexual sex.
Glen: You really think the government would help us if they could? They'd vaccinate everyone in Federal office, then move down to the State. Federal workers who knew their place and could be trusted to stay in it would be vaccinated as well. The rest of us? We're expendable.
