Post 4 or 5 textbooks on orthopoxes being respiratory. Post at least 3 old books by people who eradicated smallpox saying so. Post countless articles about smallpox air. Post countless articles about monkeypox air. Post animal orthopoxes in air...
Post the clinical course showing respiratory symptoms FIRST. From Bennett major ID text, plus two or three other texts. Respired in, viremia, spreads out from infected saliva/respiratory tract, THEN rash, so contagious before rash. Show same as measles, chickenpox, per the CDC...
Explain physical mechanism of aerosol infection. Explain statistics of it. Every reference shows air over 100 years. No reference droplet. Post that air scientists have been ignored. Articles that fomite weak. Articles that pandemics cannot be sustained by touch....
Explain why saw in the gay community first, reporting bias, etc. and that it means little. Explain primary vs secondary lesions; why these are not primary lesions. Explain why monkeypox more weakly infects than smallpox. Explain why will get worse....
Change tack; post about denial, post about bias, post about cognitive dissonance, why we are hopelessly optimistic, why we ignore things right before our eyes, as we are doing right now. Post why this imperils us to do nothing while we rock ourselves back and forth with a blankie
ppl to me: but mpx is touch dude
(... 'cause there's bumps on 'is bum)

Yeah, on that note, pointed out animals infected with other poxes showing bumps on 'eir bums, why we see the lesions there (and other mucus membranes), and why it is a red herring.
We will delude ourselves to maintain in our minds some semblance of control, is I guess the lesson here.
Monkeypox thread



Happy to discuss w anyone actually reading otherwise I have not actually been searching for a long time. This is obvious. Stop repeating what you heard on TV from someone who doesn't know. Ask them for refs.
Be well

Avoid unsafe air. Clean the air. Wear a good well fitting mask

#COVIDisAirborne
#MonkeypoxisAirborne

Read the refs not regurgitated denial from some minimizer advancing their career.

People get quite emotionally bothered by idea of ZeroCOVID

So I am hereby starting the VeryFewCOVID movement. It aims to reduce COVID to Very Few

If that's objectionable, add a few more viruses to Very Few. When it reaches a number you consider reasonable, that's VeryFewCOVID
This is contradistinction to Focussed Protection(TM) which lets SARS-CoV-2 free spread as we Focus Protection on the economy (which they misspelled as "elderly" in their missive).
It's actually just the next in a long line of VeryFews.

VeryFewPolio
VeryFewCholera
VeryFewTyphoid
VeryFewMERS
VeryFewEbola
etc

Aside from COVID-19 or monkeypox or airborne transmission, at least we can find a silver lining in one of the nice things humans have come up with:

Searching for bookmarks from the URL bar in Chrome, and for options in Word in that little search box.
I ain't scrolling around forever to find some bookmark or option.

Word can still be terrible but at least it has that.

I'll keep drawing parallels (ocean, pollen, smoke) and some will get it.

And I end up with a collection of parallelograms.

So, quite squarely, I see this as a win win.

Is muting someone on here abuse yet?

Just wondering where we got to with victimization.
Is someone NOT deleting their own account, ever abuse against others?
hmm

Look I do not have the time to do this.

DR. RAO STUDIED SMALLPOX HIS WHOLE LIFE. HE IS A HERO.

Portal of entry is BREATHING not fomites or skin unless broken.

Elsewhere he concludes fomites rare.

Here are his comments on transmission by inanimate objects. I haven't even fully assessed them. It's not a driver.

If you think monkeypox is any different from its cousin good luck with that.

Random factoid: there were only ever about 8000 cases of SARS-CoV-1.
I just post random factoids you know, whenever.
Lets say each made 100m virions, that's 800T virions, each a roll of the dice to get worse

.........800 000 000 000

By December 2020, just the United States alone had 20 million cases. Each making 100M virions that's 2e-15 or

2 000 000 000 000 000 rolls

1250 TIMES the rolls
