Can’t call it monkeypox. However, now that we know that 98% of those who are getting that particular virus are men who have sex with men, we can call it homopox.
While anyone can get monkeypox, the current outbreak is overwhelmingly affecting sexually active gay, bisexual and other men who have sex with men. In fact, our recent study which looked at 528 monkeypox infections since the start of the outbreak found that 98% of these infections had occurred in this group.
So don’t have sex with other dudes. Got it. I guess I’m safe, then.

I’ve already proposed (elsewhere) the following far better names (than monkeypox):
Buttfuck blisters
Poopchjte pustules
Sodomy sores
HIVes
In light of this, and their now blatantly transparent efforts at recruiting via grooming and corrupting children, it is past time to openly shame and impose some much needed control on these damn faggots for their disgusting behavior. As the old joke goes, “rectum? Hell, we destroyed ’em”!

I’m still going with Schlong Covid

It’s not a “global health emergency.”

Asspox is for rump rangers but the comrades won’t let a “health crisis” go to waste in the budding biomedical police state.
I don’t recall a vote on becoming the new Sodom and Gomorrah in muh democracy.

And I caught grief (from nursing) for telling a patient “we know how this transmits, quit having anal sex” (yes, patient had been to MX for a week of bath parties, then went to FL for same, before seeing us).
My question to nursing – If a current smoker comes in with COPD exacerbation, do you expect me to encourage them to quit smoking? “Yes.” So what the difference?? (I never can get anyone to rationally answer the last question).
The above is why so many at the bedside are saying “screw it, I’m outta here”. I should have another 20 years to practice medicine…… won’t happen.

I had another nurse this week tell me “Well, homosexual activity is only one way that it is transmitted.” When I asked him if we were willing to destroy people’s livelihoods and the economy to stop COVID, why it’s all of a sudden too much of a burden to ask gay men to stop having unprotected anal intercourse.

Agree with your reply but – always a but – a cashier at I believe a restaurant in Georgia was diagnosed with the pox the other day. She swears she had no sexual contact with anyone recently. Of course she may be shall we say stretching the truth but if she is not Big trouble in River City. Bears watching.

I don’t think its anything to contradict what I have said. There is no such thing as “always” or “never” in medicine. Even if this GA woman is not lying, she is one of 504 cases in GA. There is always an exception in medicine, and she just may be that exception- what we refer to in medicine as a “zebra”.
What is important is the trend. You can’t set policy by worrying about the rare exception. If you hear hoofbeats behind you, you expect to see horses when you turn around, not zebras.

Two weeks to flatten the libido?

Well, “my rectum hurts” is probably why he stopped….plus the appearance of sores….
“My rectum hurts”
‘Wrecked ’em? Dang near killed ’em”
From an old skit last century…..

Thing is, it’s transmissible by non-sexual skin contact, or contact with something that an infected touched. This is far more infectious than AIDS or Hepatitis. When that 2% grows to 5, 10, 20, 50 percent, will you still be in denial? Will you hide in your house so your friends don’t find out?
This has an established vaccine. Be prepared, and keep your mind flexible.

Well, Hell, I almost never, ever have any sort of skin to skin contact with random members of the public. In fact, let’s take the almost out of there and state that I never have intimate skin to skin contact with other people. Outside of my wife (of almost 30 years), I don’t go around touching people in a manner that would transmit a contagious disease. So now we’re back at square one, don’t have butt sex with strange men and you won’t catch (the 100% survivable) monkeypox.
And there should be some serious follow-up to the kids that caught it and why they caught it!
chiefjaybob · August 5, 2022 at 6:42 pm
“Antibubba.”
I guess your kind of bigotry is okay, then?
How very typical.
Gavin Grusome · August 5, 2022 at 11:49 pm
So don’t have skin contact with homos and don’t sleep in their dirty sheets or wear their dirty clothes.
Better yet, don’t stick your dick in other men’s butts or mouths.
Divemedic · August 6, 2022 at 10:39 am
Again, while transmission through other means is possible, that isn’t what the evidence says is happening. 98 percent is from men having sex with men.
This reminds me of the claims from the left who are opposed to concealed carry because gunfights might happen after every car accident.

Early on they had only 2 non gay men who had it in England and then it came out they were wonen whose husbands were bisexual.
The european media for a while was reporting it as inly transmitting among gay or bisexual men and those who had intimate contact with them.
Four of the 5 kids infect in the US have a gay parent or live with a gay indivual. 5th case they have not said. I would guess that something illegal is going on in those houses. We are not allowed to wonder about the children though… thats homophobic.

I prefer the “Fudgepackerpox”, though Schlongcovid is rather more clever…
Big Ruckus D · August 5, 2022 at 7:14 pm
Add Rectum Rash to the list.
And “antibubba”, I think you’ll find a more receptive crowd for your line of thinking at daily kos or some other such shithole. No pun intended. Advocating for a vaccine of dubious quality and efficacy following the covid debacle is about as popular amongst the denizens of this environ as heauxmeauxs having buttsex.

HOMOPOX
Straight too the factual point.
…nuff said.
Paulb · August 6, 2022 at 3:21 am
98% are men who have sex with men.
The other 2 % are people who have sex with men who have sex with men, and also liars.
buttsecks bingo is back, baby. HIVes from Big Ruckus D is my favorite so far.

It doesn’t easily transmit to Hemophiliacs save via Pedophiliacs so no Ryan White to take away the stigma.
