Default The next pandemic?
Seems like there is a rising number of Monkeypox cases going on in various places around the world.

Im not sure how bad this is but its something to be aware of.

The universe is really doing its best to cull the human population......

Its a mild pox... notable for being rare so an outbreak makes news. Also not very contagious.

Monkeypox isn't a very deadly disease, it's just nasty looking.

I think this is something different. And with a long incubation time we could see hundreds of cases over the next few days, across the world.

Good article here:https://www.theatlantic.com/health/a...ndemic/629920/

Ok false alarm sort of on my part then.

I just never heard of this Pox until it came about the news recently.

Nothing to see here!

It could make you sick for a month though so from a productivity standpoint it could cause some major disruptions to the workforce if it did spread.

Eh, there are enough wage slaves to replace them. Being "sick" is only a problem if you're poor and missing work means missing bills. It'll be fine.

109 cases, 91 suspected.

I think we'll know by the end of this week if this is a big deal™ or if it's going to just fizzle out.

You're right, the ball rubbing has to have induced some level of immunity.
