Monkeypox....the newest pandemic?

Unread postby Plantagenet » Sun 12 Jun 2022, 01:40:01

Scientists can't agree whether or not monkeypox can be spread through the air.

cdc-dismisses-airborne-transmission-monkeypox-

This reminds me of the early days of the covid pandemic when the Chinese (and Dr. Fauci) were lying and claiming it couldn't be spread through the air even though it was abundantly clear it actually WAS spreading by airborne transmission.

The same kind of confusion now surrounds monkey pox.

The CDC originally was telling people to go back to wearing facemasks on airplanes because of their concern that monkey pox could be spread through the air.

Then the CDC flip flopped and now it says monkeypox can't be spread through the air.

But some scientists think the CDC is making (another) blunder and monkeypox actually can be spread by airborne transmission.

The debate seems to be over whether or not a monkey pox bump that erupts inside a victims mouth will put virus into his mouth, and if from there it would go into the air......

Image
Young man.....do you by any chance have any of those hideous monkey pox bumps inside your mouth right now?

Jeez what a disgusting disease.

Smallpox has two main varieties, the main one is very deadly killing about 30% of those who contract the disease while the milder form also known as Monkeypox has had no fatalities in any place with western type medical care. You are also immune to it if you got the Smallpox vaccination when you were a toddler as I did.

ThaNKS.

Thats good to know.

The photos of people with monkeypox are so scary looking I was starting to worry about it spreading.

And, speaking of it spreading....news reports indicate that monkeypox numbers have now DOUBLED in the USA

Apparently it can take up to three weeks for the symptoms to appear after a person is infected, making it very difficult to do contact tracing.

1. Don't fuck monkeys
2. Be careful fucking people who go to Raves.
3. If you are a boomer, who had a smallpox shot, don't go to Raves, or fuck monkeys, you should be fine.

The COVID pandemic seemed real enough to me.

Image

We've had over a million deaths here in the USA, and the worldwide death total is estimated by the World Health Organization to be over 15 million.

NATURE: The WHO estimates 15 million deaths due to COVID

And that doesn't even include the actual death count in China, which the CCP has covered up.

IMHO there could well be another 3-6 million COVID deaths in China for a grand total of ca. 20 million COVID deaths ----- so far.

CDC recommends that people stop having sex and switch to virtual sex to avoid catching monkey pox

cdc-advises-virtual-sex-and-socially-distanced-masturbation-to-stem-spread-of-monkeypox

Or, for those who must have sex with a real person, the CDC recommends that people keep their clothes on during sex and then clean their fetish gear carefully afterwards.

The World Health Network just declared monkeypox a pandemic

world-health-network-declares-monkeypox-a-pandemic-

Monkeypox isn't the worst pandemic the world has ever seen, but it is definitely and officially now a pandemic---at least according to the WHN.

Image

The more famous World Health Organization will meet soon to consider if they will also call monkeypox a pandemic.

Using your numbers, that gives the total covid deaths during the past couple of years at .25% of the current world population. So far, this year alone, the world population has increased by 39 million.

I think we over reacted.

It's kind of hard to cover up a few million deaths in a country that keeps semi-decent death stats.

What makes you think China keeps semi-decent death stats on Covid?

China is a totalitarian country where the government completely controls everything that appears in the Chinese media. Even if the Chinese have good stats internally, what makes you think China actually publishes accurate information on anything for the general public.....

The Chinese lied and tried to cover up the Covid outbreak when it first began in Wuhan, and since then their Covid numbers are absurdly low when compared to death stats from western countries....

For instance, here is an article from before the newest Chinese outbreak in Shanghai casting doubt on China's death covid statistics: china-officially-hasnt-reported-a-single-covid-death-in-a-year-as-questions-remain-about-accuracy-of-its-data

AND here is another article from the NY TIMES casting doubt on China's covid statistics since the lockdown in Shanghai and other parts of China earlier this year; Shanghai’s Low Covid Death Toll Revives Questions About China’s Numbers

Image
Another reason to doubt china's numbers is that the numerous Covid "hospitals" recently built in China are little more then huge rooms filled with rows of bunks, where covid would rapidly infect all of the thousands of people that the government brought to the "hospitals.

There are many questions about Chinese stats on all sorts of things. But hiding deaths from a fast virus is intrinsically trickier than fudging other numbers, if your death stats are roughly accurate, and it's generally believed that Chinese death stats are pretty decent. Because a virus spreads exponentially, and covid peaks are very noticeable, simply as excess deaths.

No its not.

Do you really believe Chinese claims that they had no COVID deaths for a full year of the epidemic?

Especially since their SINOVAC vaccine wasn't very effective.

I just posted links to two articles questioning official Chinese death stats from the Wuhan virus...I suggest you read those two stories to start.

There are many more reviews and critiques of Chinas "official" covid numbers if you look.

You don't seem to understand that the media in China is entirely state controlled and nothing gets published that isn't subject to censorship by the CCP.

Take the Uighur internment camps in NW China.

There are approx. a million Augurs being held in concentration camps right now......which is never reported in the internal China state-controlled media.

Image
Are you really so naive that you don't understand that the Chinese media is all controlled and censored by the CCP?

I noticed that Plantagenet's pictures come in too large when pasted in a post, I have had the same problem, the website doesn't shrink the pixel count automatically like other forums do so the entire picture can fit. Plant seems to be a wiz at gifs.

Two questions:
1. Is there a way to resize an image for this site so it all fits in?
2. How do you post gifs?

Easy.

You see little line of boxes with commands in them right above the text box when you are posting?

Select the one that says "img"

A "start image" and a "stop image" command will appear in your text box.

Then you just paste an image there from your collection of images.....or you post the URL an image from the internet.

When you click "submit" at the bottom of the text box, your picture will be posted along with any text you have also entered.

Image
And always be careful out there.....

I usually post from a MAC desktop-----thats the easiest----- but sometimes from an iPad or an Iphone.

I can sometimes post an image from iPhone......

Image

On an iPhone you can select an image by holding your finger down on it........after some interval the phone screen says "copy"

Then to paste hold finger down where you want to paste....after some interval the phone screen asks "paste."

Of course it down't always work from an iPhone.......probably because not every image can be copied by the iPhone.
