I recently told my dispatcher that I had read more on monkey pox and saw the pics of the infection that is now coming our way. He rolled his eyes and walked off. It is the same thing him and others did when Covid first came around. I find it strange that he and others can easily believe in something developed as a weapon of war and it escaped into the populous somehow but they cannot believe in diseases that come from unclean conditions. This is not smallpox of chickenpox but if you get it you will be quarantined until the sores all heal up.
From the report emailed to drs this morning, 98% of infection recorded thus far is from gay men. The other 2% is coming from mostly from kids and family members in extended and continual close contact.
It won’t be nearly as wide spread.
