A new pandemic?

[japancool]

So now we have 20 cases of monkey pox in the UK. The US and Europe have also recorded cases.

Health authorities say it's difficult to transmit between humans. Yeah, I've heard that before.

Are we looking at another outbreak of disease?

I'm sure Justin will be along soon to tell us not to worry

Well aren't you a ray of sunshine .

Can't we just end the week on something positive for a change @japancool

 

[Nico Albrecht]

Lads. It's time to get the facemasks out again.

Monkey-Pox sounds much funkier than Covid-19. It sounds like a real disease! Not as funky as The Black Death - now that's what I call a read disease!

None of those silly Greek alphabet names - say like it is! Money Pox! The Black Death!

Get those bird masks filled with herbs out! Put the dead on wagon wheels on top of long poles! Let's have a party!

Money Pox!

Now that sounds even funkier.

Just been winding my colleagues up in the office who are from Milton Keynes which has been trying to become a city, and has been calling itself a city, for years.

But not Guildford

A pox on all your diseases!

 

[OMGVape]

Mostly in gay and bisexual men so don’t expect much urgency from the government.

I'm old enough to have been vaccinated against smallpox, so I won't be catching it.

Apparently it only transmits through prolonged skin contact, so put your masks away again.

 

[IanSuth]

But not Guildford

Or Reading that has spent 20 yrs trying to get it for no discernible reason

Unless you are doing things that put your face in direct skin contact

Build up your immune system and eat more bananas, apparently test centres will be open in the next few weeks and you're be able to swing on by for a test ???
