The community transmission is largely centred in urban areas and we are predominantly seeing it in individuals who self-identify as gay or bisexual or other men who have sex with men.

It's just another virus that is circulating in society; it doesn't like anything to be overly concerned about.
Populist media will blow it out of proportion as usual; more serious media will have a more balanced proportionate response. |

I’m not suggesting your blaming THEM but it is a contact virus same as we have been through for the last few years do you not think the people that are working to treat the people that contract this virus are not the line of fire again |

It's interesting how you give a personality to these corporations. In reality, there are many people who work in these companies who are devoted to the treatment and cure of disease, and many others who are only interested in making money. The companies can only survive with both of these types of people, the "Money Men" are making it possible for the science to happen.
Obviously if there were state owned drugs companies then that would be a different situation, but that's not where we are.

It's not been put out there though is it?all that's said so far is the current outbreak is so far predominantly / majority spread in that community. Isn't it more helpful to be aware of that fact than pretend it is something else? |

Majority of over 50's will already be vaccinated against it in late 60's early 70's
Body to body contact or bed linen, if staying in hotel accommodation just make sure bed sheets have been changed

Ya that would be my thinking too.
Like if the majority of cases was in mid 30s straight white guys I'd like to have been made aware in advance.
However I get the point too because there will always be asshats who see basic facts and twist them as a way of attacking the LGBTQ+ community or any other minority |

At the moment it is not bs.
They are not attacking gay or bi men they are stating a fact. As it stands at present the majority of people infected are gay and bi men. You can't change facts I'm afraid. |

There are dozens if not, many more of these virus's circulating the UK and abroad all the time. Thats always been the case.
The only difference now is that the world is hyper sensitive due to the COVID impact.
If this was 5 years or more ago, we wouldn't be hearing about Monkeypox other than in a small column in newspapers or online.
People are blowing everything out of proportion and always will from now on out.
Remember, life is for living and having fun  |

Some of us have served in the HM forces. We are NBC trained. C19 was an ariel biological virus. It made no sense to wear face masks or have PVC screens in shops. Because C19 was all around us. It made no difference if you were wearing a mask or had a screen in front of you. People with an underlying health condition and age of 80 plus were septable to C19 resulting in death. The rest of us could have fought it off with natural immunity. The government saw this as an experiment to see how far they could control us. They took our human rights away under emergency acts which were not even legal under the UK's Human Rights law. |

I thought the idea of masks was to reduce the risk of coughing or sneezing it over someone close to you. |

From Wikipedia:
“Monkey pox is endemic in Africa. It is caused by two groups of viruses – West African (up to 3.6% mortality) and Central African (up to 10% mortality). 2,000 cases per year are known to have occurred between 2011 and 2014 in Central and West Africa.
There were four cases in England in 2018, originating in travellers from Nigeria.
There were three cases in England in 2021, again originating in a traveller from Nigeria.
This year’s first case also came from good old Nigeria, but the origins of many other cases are unknown. Monkey pox can be caught from infected animals – examples have been infected rats and a prairie dog.
It is believed African rodents, such as Gambian pouched rats (Cricetomys gambianus), dormice (Graphiurus spp.) and African squirrels (Heliosciurus, and Funisciurus), serve as the disease reservoir. The use of these animals as food may be an important source of transmission to humans.”
So, the fact that it is spread by any kind of contact means that it is, by definition, another STI, and, of course, another dreaded “gay plague” – just like Covid and the common cold!

It is not spread by gay or bi people, it just happens that the person who have been exposed attended an STI clinic. This was solely due to the need for close contact spread need of the virus. No one is scaring anyone apart from the Press... they just need to make a story out of nothing.

Nobody's saying its exclusively gay. Facts are that This outbreak is currently predominantly in that community.
As an example... Portugal has meanwhile registered 74 confirmed cases, health authorities said on Friday, adding that all the occurrences are in men, mainly aged below 40.

outbreak of the rare monkeypox virus. Since 6 May cases have doubled, and according to the UK Health Security Agency most of the reported 20 infections have been found in men who have sex with men.
Fortunately, the disease is not easily contagious and only spreads by direct physical contact with an infected person. The “close physical contact” can mean transmission via respiratory droplets, contact with broken skin, contaminated bedding or, yes, sexual intercourse.
It should go without saying that infectious diseases do not have sexual, racial or national preferences, and that no disease is a “gay” disease. A virus’s only preference is for bodies without prior immunity that will allow the infectious microbe to invade host cells and replicate. Sadly, what has emerged over the last few weeks is a narrative reminiscent of the early days of HIV in which a sexually transmitted virus was quickly used to stigmatise gay men, among whom the initial cluster of cases was found.
Stigma directed at any given community can have serious consequences on efforts to identify and contain a disease. In the outbreak of HIV, many cases went unreported because gay men internalised feelings of shame when they were blamed for the spread of the disease. There was little public will to tackle the virus until people realised that HIV infected everyone, including heterosexuals, equally. |

Seems a bit strange how this has suddenly erupted in the west, when it has had years of immigration from the countries it is endemic too, along with a lot of white on black sex for years. You cannot help but wonder if it was deliberately released in the current geopolitical climate amongst others…. |

"Just wondering are we being scared into it again . We are fully vaccinated after the last pandemic but we feel like it’s been put out there that monkey pox is generally spread by the gay or bi community witch is total bs
It's not been put out there though is it?all that's said so far is the current outbreak is so far predominantly / majority spread in that community. Isn't it more helpful to be aware of that fact than pretend it is something else?
Predominantly is not exclusively. When is someone now going to say that it's from Africa so it must be?
True but I've not seen anything anywhere where its being represented as an exclusively gay outbreak. I don't understand the africa comment.
It's endemic in parts of Africa so it's from Africa. Far more accurate than gay or bi
I'm still not sure what it is you are saying. Are you saying that you think it's more accurate to say this outbreak is being spread by people who have travelled to Africa.?
Well work it out yourself. It's endemic in Africa but not exclusively gay
Nobody's saying its exclusively gay. Facts are that This outbreak is currently predominantly in that community.
As an example... Portugal has meanwhile registered 74 confirmed cases, health authorities said on Friday, adding that all the occurrences are in men, mainly aged below 40.

"The community transmission is largely centred in urban areas and we are predominantly seeing it in individuals who self-identify as gay or bisexual or other men who have sex with men.
Thats the facts ...its not bs
20 men in Madrid I believe caught it in a gay sauna "
From what I've read, the transmission started there but the continued spread has nothing to do with lifestyle or sexuality. It could easily have been a spa or a care home and people would be blaming the rich or the elderly. Sadly route 1 is to demonise someone and wait for everyone to grab their pitchforks! |

Do we know that the majority of new cases here are that? In the early days, it was a trope linking saunas and pride parties. As many posters emphasise, everyone is at risk and I've not seen much information recently. |

From the gov website as of 2 days ago..
https://www.gov.uk/government/news/monkeypox-cases-confirmed-in-england-latest-updates
"There are currently 3 confirmed cases in Scotland, one in Wales and one in Northern Ireland, taking the UK total to 106.
The risk to the UK population remains low, but we are asking people to be alert to any new rashes or lesions, which would appear like spots, ulcers or blisters, on any part of their body.
Although this advice applies to everyone, the majority of the cases identified to date have been among men who are gay, bisexual and men who have sex with men, so we are asking these people in particular to be aware of the symptoms, particularly if they have recently had a new sexual partner." |

"Some of us have served in the HM forces. We are NBC trained. C19 was an ariel biological virus. It made no sense to wear face masks or have PVC screens in shops. Because C19 was all around us. It made no difference if you were wearing a mask or had a screen in front of you. People with an underlying health condition and age of 80 plus were septable to C19 resulting in death. The rest of us could have fought it off with natural immunity. The government saw this as an experiment to see how far they could control us. They took our human rights away under emergency acts which were not even legal under the UK's Human Rights law.
I thought the idea of masks was to reduce the risk of coughing or sneezing it over someone close to you. "
Spot on..
Sometimes, it's best to let people believe the shit they preach and get on with your own life, protecting yourself and the ones you care for.
It becomes hard work and simply not worth wasting time on.
"You can take Muhammad to the Mountain, but you bring the Mountain to Muhammad.."
Interesting program on the World Service at 2am this morning. The definition of a droplet being how the WHO got advice on airborne completely wrong, airborne was obvious from the outset was the main transmission path.
It's just a shame grown up people are brainwashed in to believing such falsehoods. |

The ones who really love you,
Walk up and down outside the wall
Some hand in hand,
And some gathered together in bands,
The bleeding hearts and the artists
Make their stand,
And when they've given you their all,
Some stagger and fall, after all it's not easy,
Banging your heart against some mad bugger's wall.. |

"you can get it by just touching a hand rail nothing to do with gay or bi "
Not sure anyone's saying that. The significant point surely is that it is currently spreading most in that community... Awareness surely helps us. |

"So it’s not from hairy, chug nutted blokes backside?"
Probably not the kindest choice of words. 99 percent of cases are male.
This from UKHSA update.
"There are currently 504 confirmed cases in England, 13 in Scotland, 2 in Northern Ireland and 5 in Wales.
Anyone can get monkeypox, particularly if you have had close contact, including sexual contact, with an individual with symptoms. Currently most cases have been in men who are gay, bisexual or have sex with men." |

i think they are trying to link it to gays so we can expect a spike due to gay pride and festival season - the WHO are using the gay community and despite what they say are very much linking it to the Gays. Complete horse shit but this is what they do to drive more fear and panic. Hopefully people will see through it and it doesn’t take off but they will definitely try to create another pandemic and link it to gays, festivals and young people enjoying themselves .

Exactly what I have been saying, gay sex has gone on for years and we have a lot of africans too in Europe for many decades, so why now suddenly. It is all a bit suspicious and convenient in the current climate to say the least…. |

There may be more to it. But it seems to be behavioural at the moment. The Terence Higgins trust website are carrying the same info (amongst others) and not claiming anything nefarious. I'm failing to see the downside of sharing what info is available and urging caution anf signposting. Nobody is demonising anything. |

Majority of over 50's will already be vaccinated against it in late 60's early 70's
Body to body contact or bed linen, if staying in hotel accommodation just make sure bed sheets have been changed
"
Majority, qualify that statement please. |

20 men in Madrid I believe caught it in a gay sauna
Fucking bull shit learn the facts not I believe wot you going say next foot and mouth is caused by sucking on toes .it's part of the family of pox so the likes of cow chicken pox if people learned the facts and not just say wot there hear in the shop or pub you would cause a mass panic"
Take a note from yourself:
pox
/p?ks/
noun
any of several viral diseases producing a rash of pimples that become pus-filled and leave pockmarks on healing.
In other words there's more than one "family". |

Our immunity to the pox family has reduced significantly enough that people are getting infected and the infected numbers might soon be enough to bring back the small pox vaccination.
It's spread through virus filled lesions and when they burst they infect the other person, tbf its hard to check the other person's health in a darkened club so it's easy to see why it's spreading frequently in a naked close contact community.

Monkeypox spreads in different ways. The virus can spread from person-to-person through:
direct contact with the infectious rash, scabs, or body fluids
respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-face contact, or during intimate physical contact, such as kissing, cuddling, or sex
touching items (such as clothing or linens) that previously touched the infectious rash or body fluids
pregnant people can spread the virus to their fetus through the placenta. (CDC).
Due to the respiratory secretions contains the virus, I'd avoid being sneezed on.
Btw, it is NOT a pox family. That is like saying all colds are rhinoviruses. |

Ok using family as a scientific label rather than a generalised label I stand to be corrected (although I was aware the the familial relationship of small and monkey pox). However, the first pox one relates to these days is probably chicken and that's where my analogy lies.
Tbf I'd have thought species would be more of an umbrella term than family *shrug* |

There's now a twice weekly gov update...
" As reported in technical briefing 1, the majority (96.0%) of cases were gay, bisexual, or men who have sex with men (GBMSM) strongly suggesting transmission in defined sexual networks, both internationally and domestically (Table 3). Cases frequently reported history of a sexually transmitted infection (STI) in the last year (54.2%) and 10 or more sexual partners in the last 3 months (31.8%), suggesting monkeypox is being transmitted in interconnected sexual networks that sustain STI transmission." |

Which simply means direct contact (with the virus) causes transmission. No-one can allege sex is not direct contact.
Not sure why STI stats are needed though as it hasn't emerged as an STI. |

It’s due to hit over 40* in some areas… the first Red warning ever in history for high temperatures I believe. 1976 got up to 38* maximum… Monday and Tuesday will break those records

There are excess deaths during any period of high temperatures. 1976 was no different, and this year won't be either.

Monkey pox requires the exchange of fluids in close contact. There is a demographic of gay men who are both very promiscuous and who dont use protection due to no risk of pregnancy. This is the group most affected and it's a statistical fact whether you like it or not. |

Not quite right. It is spread by close contact not exchange of bodily fluids, obvious sex requires this. |

Some people aren't able to process that kind of fact based logic. |

The sort of logic that involves things that aren’t facts? |

If you read any fact based logic in that statement, I suspect that our definitions of both "fact" and "logic" are entirely incompatible.

So men who have sex with men don't make up the vast majority of cases.? |

That's quite a different statement, from what Swing had commented on. |

Quite. I have no idea what the current demographics are, but the deflection that happens in these and other diseases serves no one.
It's not like the infection method of monkeypox is exclusive to men who have sex with men, and (to the extent that it remains a threat in any given country) it's not helpful to minimise risks to other demographics. |

"Monkey pox...another government lie..as soon as they realised, the public weren't fooling for it...it disappeared. Just like STREP
Its all about control. Dont be fooled "
Don't be fooled?
It's too late for some unfortunately! |

So what your saying is that they keep making up these illnesses? |

You know it's funny?
It didn't feel made up when I got it,
What with the ambulance service refusing to take me to hospital and the doctors and nurses refusing to treat or even examine me in the hospital,
The resulting in infection which nearly killed me.
Loosing my girlfriend, job, being evicted, and having to get charities to provide me with food so I didn't Starve to death!
Going from size 36-in waist to a size 30 in 3 months?
I really wish I had known it was all imaginary at the time! |

I hope that you're getting more of your wellbeing back, in good measure! There are thoughtless individuals who post inane shite, without a care for facts and the people who may be struggling, due to the life-changing impacts of fully evidenced health conditions.
Tropes pulled from social media can abound here. You'll have missed many from the height of the pandemic that proliferated here.
Thankfully mpox has waned, largely due to the actions of the LGBT+ community, alongside our health service efforts, to educate, vaccinate and more. |

I still haven't got a clue about it, I got offered a vaccine for it!
So I said should I have one if I've had the disease it took them two weeks to get back with a reply of, we're not sure but it should be ok.
No one's performed any tests on anyone so we're not sure what's going to happen.
I suggested that I do not have the vaccine so that if any tests need to be done on a surviving patient that's not been vaccinated they can use me as a test subject.
I was slightly told they wouldn't even know were to begin as no scientific research was being done into it.
August of last year.

My friend who works at a clinic says that it’s mostly been males 80% in the age range 25-40 who are making up the demographic of cases and of these men around 90%of them are gay/bi
So it’s either a virus that men are more susceptible to or it’s hit the gay scene like a queen on Charlie ! Those are facts and that’s why gay and bisexual men are being offered up the vaccine more than anyone else
However anyone who’s sexually promiscuous is being recommended to have themselves vaccinated as well but so long as the numbers are still swaying towards the males in society there isn’t going to be much in the regular press |

You'll never guess how I caught it,
Coming home from work on the train from Brighton to Eastbourne England ladies playing Finland ladies in Brighton! about 50000 people stood for 3 hours in the train station trying to get home.
Track and trace love that, lol |
