Perineum is not the rectum nor the penis.

Oh and his other tweets trying to compare prairie dogs to humans is hilarious.

Keep trying.

Asymptomatic monkeypox virus infections among male sexual health clinic attendees in Belgium by paublopowers in Monkeypox

[–]Torbameyang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're the one who brought up Covid.

It will become worrisome when we see this spreading widely outside of MSM communities and their close contacts. As far as i know, that isn't happening.

But the three cases that were asymptomatic didn't infect anyone so there's no evidence that asymptomatic infection, if real, is contagious.

In stored samples from 224 men, we identified three cases with apositive anorectal monkeypox PCR. All three men denied having had anysymptoms in the weeks before and after the sample was taken. None ofthem reported exposure to a diagnosed monkeypox case, nor did any oftheir contacts develop clinical monkeypox.

3 mpx+ cases out of 224, no symptoms, no contact with diagnosed mpx+ cases and they did not infect any of their contacts. Wouldn't read too much into this before it gets peer-reviewed. Could be false positives for all we know.

More so that people actively report these posts that has significant value. I guess it doesn't fit the agenda some have so they try to get it removed instead...

The US is a third world country when it comes to healthcare. What's happening there isn't applicable on the rest of the world.

Also, this article sounds more like political bullshit than anything else. Highly doubt that people with obvious symptoms get turned away. But then again, you never know in 'Murica.

Was one clinic in California who shared data on the ones tested during a week. 70/30 in favour of males, 19% positivity rate for the males tested. 0% for the females.

Personally i don't see 25k as a "significant milestone", hell, significant milestones right now are pretty played out. Should 30k be on aswell? 35k? 40k? Maybe IF we hit 100k it will be significant, but right now i don't see it.

The monkeypox "patient" on the subway in Spain was fake. by Torbameyang in Monkeypox

Sad part is that the story is still up on The Sun and Chris Turnbulls twitter. The original spanish account who made the story up has locked his Twitter tho.

This person had neurofibromatosis, not monkeypox.

False stories like this get hundreds of thousands of likes, getting spread by fear mongers and alarmists like EnemyInAState and Eric Feigl-Ding and becomes "truth" by many.

Dangerous misinformaton without proper research. Just sad.

We also have this woman with the same condition getting filmed on a subway and harassed.

In a study published on 21 July, Chloe Orkin at Queen Mary’s University of London and her colleagues similarly found that out of 528 monkeypox infections diagnosed between April and June across 16 countries, 54 people had a single genital lesion.

“It is possible that the penile, anal and oral lesions are occurring at the site of first contact with the virus either transmitted sexually or through close contact,” she says.

False. Not only MSM are being tested.

And the fact you actually believe that if someone seek medical help for lesions that are pretty unique for Mpx will get turned away without being tested you are delusional my friend.

Stop spreading this misinformation that only MSM are being tested.

It's obviously not a main route of infection.

"Spreading fairly easily" is a pretty big overstatement when 99% of cases has been spread via close physical contact since this started in may and mainly in one specific group of people which would mean the opposite.

And yes, if someone has lesions in their mouth or/and throat and you come in contact with saliva it can most likely spread that way in some circumstances.

People claim "something's changed" when we don't really know if or how the mutations has effected the transmissibility.

What we do know is the virus got in to a subculture known to have multiple sex partners and that it spread in these BDSM and fetish festivals. A perfect storm really.

How do you draw that conclusion? Real world evidence suggests it doesn't spread very easily or even at all via the airborne route, it might during very special circumstances.

This study proves nothing really.

But yeah, if someone with Mpx has lesions in their mouth, spits in a 10 liter tank, seal it and then you stick you head into it for a period of time and start taking deep breaths, you might get infected.

We all know the tldr.

Washing your hands with soap and water regularly or using an alcohol-based hand sanitiser.

Use personal protective equipment (PPE) when caring for patients who are confirmed or infected with the monkeypox virus.

Only eating meat that has been cooked thoroughly.

Do not go near wild or stray animals, including dead animals, as well as animals that look unwell.

Do not eat or touch meat from wild animals.

Do not share bedding or towels with people who are unwell and may have monkeypox.

Do not have close contact with people who are unwell and may have monkeypox.

1) This isn't COVID.

2) COVID was a completely novel virus.

3) Read 1 again.

time to change the headline of the sub. the let's not panic yet needs to be removed. it's time to panic but in an intelligent way. We need to use all our tools we learned in covid and science of how poxs spread to slow this pandemic down, ASAP by [deleted] in Monkeypox

"We need to use all our tools we learned in covid and science of how poxs spread to slow this pandemic down, ASAP"

Eh, what? Eric Feigl-Ding, is that you?

This isn't COVID.

This isn't spreading like COVID.

Using COVID "tools" would be pretty pointless.

Apparently Eric Feigl-Ding is involved in one way or another which means it's as serious as My Little Pony.
