I wonder if the people infected that didn't travel to Africa were exposed by someone who worked in hospitality, since employees would be in charge of handling bedding and towels for multiple guests, therefore increasing risk of transmission.
A wave of infection some years ago in the US originated from prairie dogs, some people working with a wild population got infected. Monkeypox is a misnomer, while monkeys can be infected, they are not the reservoir of this virus. Its probably rodents. Infection goes via droplets, and requires close contact with an infected person. A person handling towels, bedding etc. could in theory get infected, but since they wear gloves usually and they would have to come in contact with relatively fresh body fluids it is not the most likeliest way. Spread via Sexual partners, on parties and concerts were people get extremly close and hug a lot or scream at each other, family gatherings etc are the most likely way of spreading the virus.
And the question about how long it can survive on surfaces. If one person comes in contact with it, grabs a door handle or something similar and then washes their hands, another person grabbing the same handle can pick it up and carry it around to another place, where a third person can pick it up and might get infected. And since there are multiple steps if people who don't infected inbetween, it can be hard to follow the transmission.

Thank you Sci-Show, for answering the questions I had about this, even after reading the news I was able to find. BTW, The Wonderium lecture series he mentions about The Black Death is possibly the best lecture series I've ever seen in my life. It's definitely worth whatever Wonderium is currently charging for it. (I saw it when the COVID pandemic first hit, then it was available for free on a streaming service for a while.)
I'm really impressed with the good work of Dr.patrick herbal remedy finally free from Herpes thanks sir contacts me on whatsapp with this +2348055367947 dr.patrickherbalhome@gmail.com.
Thank you Sci-Show for this. It's a bit unnerving when many information sources keep updating on how the disease is spreading, specially after the pandemic. It's good to have a better, more balanced view of the infection.
I refused to learn about this until now because I could not handle more bad news about the dumpster fire that is our world. I figured if anyone was going to break it to me, it would be you. Lol So glad it’s not so serious!
Keep looking at the actual data media loves to blow things out of proportion. Lately the CDC has been ignoring its own data and the media ran with the panic
Can you talk about how it’s getting spread? I saw some people say its nothing to worry about, since it’s hard to spread, but then the next day it was in several countries lol
It depends on population density, the closer people are together the more likely it would be to spread. That being said, the numbers so far are nothing compared to early Covid numbers, that spread way faster.
@UCEh1U0lek4V4Xe9DP_yRZ0A saw an article disproving this. It’s not an exclusively sexually transmitted so any one with very active sexual life and with multiple partners are in higher danger than others. I think part of the reason why there seem to be a high rate in the lgbtq right now because we can be too physical sometimes even if it’s not sexual. Lol
Thank you? That statement was insane and only applies ignorance to THE at risk population. If you think that the fact that 98% of all cases occur in men who have sex with men, a disease without a subtle clinical presentation, is because of infectious disease awareness then you are looking for comfort in the wrong places.
I know! This jogged a faint memory of a particular episode of Hey Arnold! (Which, upon looking it up; turns out to focus on the...well, seriously fictional disease of "Monkeynucleosis" rather than Monkeypox. Still, I got the two confused due to a hazy childhood memory. o.o;)
It's been in the news cycle here (as viruses are now a more talked about topic) and some people instantly worry as if covid like lockdowns are right around corner again. Not realizing this ain't anything like covid.
One of the things I never really get about people disliking scarring from diseases like this one is the general disgust response. I suppose disgust is designed to protect us and to help us stay away from diseases. But equally, if I saw someone who had scars from a pox, I'd be saying "Wow! That person has a great immune system!".
Most would not know what those scars are from or they’ll assume they still have the disease. So many movies, shows, and news stations basically tell people to stay away from anything that resembles a sickness.
@@PrimeDiam Yeah, I can see your point. It does explain why people often find it hard to look at people with lots of scarring. I wonder if it makes a stigma around the concept of beauty. People who've been targeted by acid attacks or suffered severe burns often get shunned or treated differently, even though there's nothing dangerous about their physical appearance.
@@buffster948 The reason why it's hard for me to look at is because my ex had visible scarring and continued self-harm when we were together. It didn't bother me at first, but during and up until eight months after we split I kept having nightmares of people I knew doing that to themselves and was very gory. I've had to turn down a few people who had scars just because I can't deal with it anymore. There were other reasons I disliked them, but none of which would make me reject someone based on scarring until I dealt with that.
@@PrimeDiam That sounds like a really difficult experience to go through. I understand how that could make someone feel distressed when they see scarring. I hope you've been able to access some support to help you process what happened.
I’m now convinced that we’re in a plague inc scenario and the player failed with COVID 19 so now he’s started a new game with monkey pox, I hope he doesn’t know any cheat codes…
Unfortunetaly the antivaxx terrorist movement is gaining too much force here in Brazil. We need to outlaw any antivaxx speech ASAP if we don't want smallpox to be a thing again here.
Smallpox vaccination campaigns aren't going on here in Brazil anymore, they stopped a few decades ago because, like was said in the video, smallpox was eradicated. So, if you're a younger person, you probably never got vaccinated, but your parents probably did. You can tell because that specific vaccine results in a mark left on the person's body, usually on the side of the upper arm, right below the shoulder. Yes, Brazil generally has a history of good vaccination campaigns (though that was obviously impacted negatively by a president who was very vocally against the covid vaccine and tried to delay it as long as possible), but the campaign for this specific disease ended a few decades ago.
Sorry my english is terrible, what I meant is if the monkeypox spreads around the world, and it reaches Brazil (hueland), it won't cause trouble because a lot of people are vaccinated against smallpox, even younger generations because the vaccination programs had it till short time ago
The roll out of the smallpox vaccine decades ago is an excellent example of what can be accomplished when the entire world comes together on a topic: Virtually 80% of the world got vaccinated against it and we were able to stop when the disease was essentially wiped out. It's a shame that vaccinations have become so politicized lately, or Covid may have succumbed to the same fate and we wouldn't have lost millions of people to it.
In the US, we required most people to get vaccinated. For some, especially some Black communities, it was forced and it was pretty brutal. Eradicating Smallpox was one of the biggest wins in public health history and it *definitely* was a different time in terms of trusting medicine, but as someone who works in PH with an epidemiology background it's important to me that we recognize that it wasn't an We're All In This Together effort for all countries and all communities.
One of the biggest stumbling blocks for COVID was our current information dispersal system. The internet give ready access to information, and conversely disinformation based on one’s bias. The internet doesn’t care about truth, only delivery. So a person with no background in infectious diseases has just as much (if not more depending on their visibility) of a voice as a person who has spent their entire life studying and fighting them.
@@savannahcarlon7033 In the US we don't, many people haven't gotten vaccinated so I don't know what you're on about entirely. In reality is likely varies based on the region you're in.
I'm dumb enough to have gotten it myself. They gave it to military deploying to Afghanistan and Iraq, and in 07 I just happened to find myself on a plane bound to Afghanistan
As a 75 yo person, I have been vaccinated against smallpox a couple of times, first as an infant and then later prior to some business trips. The last vaccination was probably 45 or 50 years ago. So, do I still have some protection against monkey pox?
@Sarafina Summers Yes, of course. And I have got 4 shots for Covid ( with no side effects). Also I have not even had a cold for more than 15 years. But I do avoid seeing my grandchildren if they have a cold.
@@rhartley2890 It has been existing for decades, and infects thousands of Africans every year and hasn't mutated even with decades of contagions in Africa, not every virus mutates easily and not every mutation is bad, Covid has been mutating hundreds of times since iit started and only 2 strains of mutations were deemed different enough to guarrantee a warning, Delta and Omicrom, all of the other mutations were so neligible that there was not even a point to try to do anything.
Even less transmissible diseases like monkeypox need attention and concern. Every life affected through morbidity or mortality is a human being who deserves good health and freedom from illness. That's why doctors and medical professionals go so hard on infectious diseases, even the relatively "smaller" ones. A lot of people will say stupid things like "it's just fear mongering" and "stop blowing it out of proportion" without thinking about how every statistic is a real living person

Uh oh... went to Google when they stopped vaccinating for small pox in the US. I was born in 1980 so I should probably pay attention to the movement of the monkey pox virus.
Honestly, any disease breaking out of its usual endemic areas is gonna get atention, not just african diseases. It's like if Dengue or yellow fever suddenly broke out in canada, or if cases of leprosy from asia began appearing across europe. It's not news when a place with endemic diseases has these things. we're just unlucky with where most of them come from.

@@Nevertoleave Exactly, like the Ebola epidemic in the early 2010s. That one didn't even make it out of Africa (to my knowledge) but I remember some people freaking out about it really badly (maybe because it was widely reported on international news and they mistook it for national news? Idk)
@@raerohan4241 I have been slightly freaked out about Ebola since 1987 while doing research for my undergrad. 1989's Ebola Reston pretty much sealed that deal. Then in 2014 I might have gone temporarily insane. 🤣 However, now that I'm living during a pandemic I seem to have evened out. It's all about perspective.
The appearance of monkeypox had me looking up the smallpox vaccine to see if it was one of the ones I've gotten as a kid. Turns out the smallpox vaccine wasn't given out in Canada after 1972. 🤔
Same. I thought, "Hey I wasn't vaccinated against smallpox." And I remembered seeing it in the list for international travel vaccinations but the country I was going didn't require it. Now I found out that it is not a recommended vaccination in Australia because it was eradicated. Due to the possible serious side effect, currently the cost outweigh the benefit.

There’s a really good chapter on it in The Next Pandemic by Ali Khan, and it too, will reassure you that it’s probably not a big deal as long as you don’t adopt a prairie dog or pet rodent
The statement about lgbtq men being more likely to catch monkeypox may be false, as statistically lgbtq men test for sti's more often, increasing the chances of one being tested positive for it
They test themselves more is a statement onto itself. Statistically they engage in more risky sexual behavior which could contributed to the transmission of disease.
I was born in 1980, my brother in 1982. Our national smallpox vaccination programme for infants stopped in 1981. I keep telling him I'm fully prepared for the next smallpox bioterrorism zombie plague apocalypse (unlike him), but he likes to remind me that the threat is practically non-existent. Guess monkeypox will have to do 😈
I am in Africa in Botswana 🇧🇼 which is in Southern Africa.I have never heard of this disease for all 35 years of my life.I googled recently when I heard about it about it’s origin and all of that..If it was that contagious it could have been in all African countries for all this years..That also makes everything suspicious why is it spreading now in most European countries when they say it originated from some Western African countries but never made it to the South or east of Africa,but spread so fast in Europe…..unless they did something more to it than we know.Also I need to understand is it there in Nigeria and Congo like they claim or it was there only years back so we understand it’s a new kind of pox which we should watch out for…

It's definitely worth whatever Wonderium is currently charging for it. (I saw it when the COVID pandemic first hit, then it was available for free on a streaming service for a while.)
I'm really impressed with the good work of Dr.patrick herbal remedy finally free from Herpes thanks sir contacts me on whatsapp with this +2348055367947 dr.patrickherbalhome@gmail.com.
Thank you Sci-Show for this. It's a bit unnerving when many information sources keep updating on how the disease is spreading, specially after the pandemic. It's good to have a better, more balanced view of the infection.
I refused to learn about this until now because I could not handle more bad news about the dumpster fire that is our world. I figured if anyone was going to break it to me, it would be you. Lol
So glad it’s not so serious!
Keep looking at the actual data media loves to blow things out of proportion. Lately the CDC has been ignoring its own data and the media ran with the panic
So now you're free to go out there and get with anybody at anywhere or anytime yay
Can you talk about how it’s getting spread? I saw some people say its nothing to worry about, since it’s hard to spread, but then the next day it was in several countries lol
It depends on population density, the closer people are together the more likely it would be to spread. That being said, the numbers so far are nothing compared to early Covid numbers, that spread way faster.
@@Direblade11 specifically in Africa since in many African countries they’re an extremely marginalized group.
@UCEh1U0lek4V4Xe9DP_yRZ0A saw an article disproving this. It’s not an exclusively sexually transmitted so any one with very active sexual life and with multiple partners are in higher danger than others.
I think part of the reason why there seem to be a high rate in the lgbtq right now because we can be too physical sometimes even if it’s not sexual. Lol
IT spreads by mostly skin to skin contact so keeping your distance and good hand hygiene can help. Also by contact with contaminated surfaces.
He describes how it spreads at 1:40
“Due to the history of HIV and AIDs they might a community more likely to recognize infectious diseases early” THANK YOU 🙏
Everyone involved in the script felt like that was an extremely important message. Glad it was appreciated!
Thank you? That statement was insane and only applies ignorance to THE at risk population. If you think that the fact that 98% of all cases occur in men who have sex with men, a disease without a subtle clinical presentation, is because of infectious disease awareness then you are looking for comfort in the wrong places.
What I learned from this video was the existence of monkeypox. I never knew that it was an actual thing/disease.
I know! This jogged a faint memory of a particular episode of Hey Arnold!
(Which, upon looking it up; turns out to focus on the...well, seriously fictional disease of "Monkeynucleosis" rather than Monkeypox. Still, I got the two confused due to a hazy childhood memory. o.o;)
There was an outbreak on the US in 2003, about 70 people caught it from animals imported from Africa as pets.
It's been in the news cycle here (as viruses are now a more talked about topic) and some people instantly worry as if covid like lockdowns are right around corner again.
Not realizing this ain't anything like covid.
I mean before Ebola got trendy a few years back no one also knew that it was first discovered in 1998 or something like that.
As if you people still believe the media haha
Papa Nurgle runnin' wild in the 20's, brother!
BRO I SWEAR THESE 2020 VIBES ARE SCARY
Thank you, Hank and team, for all you do. What you do here is as important as it comes!
One of the things I never really get about people disliking scarring from diseases like this one is the general disgust response. I suppose disgust is designed to protect us and to help us stay away from diseases. But equally, if I saw someone who had scars from a pox, I'd be saying "Wow! That person has a great immune system!".
Most would not know what those scars are from or they’ll assume they still have the disease. So many movies, shows, and news stations basically tell people to stay away from anything that resembles a sickness.
@@PrimeDiam Yeah, I can see your point. It does explain why people often find it hard to look at people with lots of scarring. I wonder if it makes a stigma around the concept of beauty. People who've been targeted by acid attacks or suffered severe burns often get shunned or treated differently, even though there's nothing dangerous about their physical appearance.
@@buffster948 The reason why it's hard for me to look at is because my ex had visible scarring and continued self-harm when we were together. It didn't bother me at first, but during and up until eight months after we split I kept having nightmares of people I knew doing that to themselves and was very gory. I've had to turn down a few people who had scars just because I can't deal with it anymore. There were other reasons I disliked them, but none of which would make me reject someone based on scarring until I dealt with that.
@@PrimeDiam That sounds like a really difficult experience to go through. I understand how that could make someone feel distressed when they see scarring. I hope you've been able to access some support to help you process what happened.
Thank you for your timeliness.
I’m now convinced that we’re in a plague inc scenario and the player failed with COVID 19 so now he’s started a new game with monkey pox, I hope he doesn’t know any cheat codes…
We already have a viable vaccine and treatments for this particular virus though
One of the few good things here in hueland is that we trust in vaccination, and smallpox, called variola here, has great vaccination campaigns
The world's last case of smallpox was in Somalia in 1977. I'm curious about your statement.
Unfortunetaly the antivaxx terrorist movement is gaining too much force here in Brazil. We need to outlaw any antivaxx speech ASAP if we don't want smallpox to be a thing again here.
Smallpox vaccination campaigns aren't going on here in Brazil anymore, they stopped a few decades ago because, like was said in the video, smallpox was eradicated. So, if you're a younger person, you probably never got vaccinated, but your parents probably did. You can tell because that specific vaccine results in a mark left on the person's body, usually on the side of the upper arm, right below the shoulder. Yes, Brazil generally has a history of good vaccination campaigns (though that was obviously impacted negatively by a president who was very vocally against the covid vaccine and tried to delay it as long as possible), but the campaign for this specific disease ended a few decades ago.
What or where is hueland.
Sorry my english is terrible, what I meant is if the monkeypox spreads around the world, and it reaches Brazil (hueland), it won't cause trouble because a lot of people are vaccinated against smallpox, even younger generations because the vaccination programs had it till short time ago
"Some of these attentions is just because ...,lets be honest, infections are spreading to places that aren't Africa"
The roll out of the smallpox vaccine decades ago is an excellent example of what can be accomplished when the entire world comes together on a topic: Virtually 80% of the world got vaccinated against it and we were able to stop when the disease was essentially wiped out. It's a shame that vaccinations have become so politicized lately, or Covid may have succumbed to the same fate and we wouldn't have lost millions of people to it.
In the US, we required most people to get vaccinated. For some, especially some Black communities, it was forced and it was pretty brutal.
Eradicating Smallpox was one of the biggest wins in public health history and it *definitely* was a different time in terms of trusting medicine, but as someone who works in PH with an epidemiology background it's important to me that we recognize that it wasn't an We're All In This Together effort for all countries and all communities.
One of the biggest stumbling blocks for COVID was our current information dispersal system. The internet give ready access to information, and conversely disinformation based on one’s bias. The internet doesn’t care about truth, only delivery. So a person with no background in infectious diseases has just as much (if not more depending on their visibility) of a voice as a person who has spent their entire life studying and fighting them.
@@savannahcarlon7033 In the US we don't, many people haven't gotten vaccinated so I don't know what you're on about entirely.
In reality is likely varies based on the region you're in.
I'm old enough to have been vaccinated for smallpox.
I'm dumb enough to have gotten it myself. They gave it to military deploying to Afghanistan and Iraq, and in 07 I just happened to find myself on a plane bound to Afghanistan
I was vaccinated in 1958 while in second grade.
I put up a hell of a fight!
Vaccines' efficacy fade over time. You may be effectively unprotected now. So stay careful.
I'm much younger but I have the smallpox vaccine scar
@@ilajoie3 what army was you in?,EDIT:SPELT ARMYT INSTEAD OF ARMY
Thanks for adding that we've known about monkey pox long enough to not to have to scramble against it like we had to against COVID.
There's a recent rise in my country too. We are monitoring it heavily since there shouldn't be a case of monkeypox but only smallpox
Thank you for the good, clear information! Extremely professional.
I have literally only heard about this through memes, so I thought it was just a joke. After watching, I feel informed, but not worried!
Well... Since it affects the soles of the feet, I guess self-isolation comes as a package due to difficulties ambulating the desease around town...
As a 75 yo person, I have been vaccinated against smallpox a couple of times, first as an infant and then later prior to some business trips. The last vaccination was probably 45 or 50 years ago. So, do I still have some protection against monkey pox?
@Sarafina Summers Yes, of course. And I have got 4 shots for Covid ( with no side effects). Also I have not even had a cold for more than 15 years. But I do avoid seeing my grandchildren if they have a cold.
Always love these shows! Helped me in my Master program
Please note that the group in the population that get it worst are children.
This video was so well-written. Well-done, Hank.
Thank you so much! When I heard about it I was like “Oh great another Pandemic!” But I’m glad I now know that it’s not gonna be super major
But NEVER underestimate human stupidity: Diseases like these could VERY easily become a new pandemic.
never "gonna" be super major ?? what are you a valley girl ?? ever hear of mutation?
@@rhartley2890 It has been existing for decades, and infects thousands of Africans every year and hasn't mutated even with decades of contagions in Africa, not every virus mutates easily and not every mutation is bad, Covid has been mutating hundreds of times since iit started and only 2 strains of mutations were deemed different enough to guarrantee a warning, Delta and Omicrom, all of the other mutations were so neligible that there was not even a point to try to do anything.
Even less transmissible diseases like monkeypox need attention and concern. Every life affected through morbidity or mortality is a human being who deserves good health and freedom from illness. That's why doctors and medical professionals go so hard on infectious diseases, even the relatively "smaller" ones. A lot of people will say stupid things like "it's just fear mongering" and "stop blowing it out of proportion" without thinking about how every statistic is a real living person
Scishow, is Rose still with you? Haven't seen her in a while.
Thanks you guys at Sci-Show for the awesome information (always), and so accurate to the last research. Hard to find in internet sources like you.
You are amazing. PhD here... keep it going!
Thank you so much for being a level headed resource of information and knowledge!!
I'm really impressed with the quality and usefulness of your uploads!!
Stellar video! It's omprehensive, calm and clear, with an excellent recap at the end to reinforce the message. I've loved and supported SciShow for years, but this is a truly top-notch example of what you do so well. Thank you!
This has been the BEST resource on monkey pox that I've seen so far.
Great job👍!
hank rocks when he talks about monkey pox.
Blue t-shirt with a south-western charcoal and white buttonup with red trim. What in the absolute heck I've never seen something so awesome
I had to look it up when I heard it was reported in Boston (guess which state I live in).
Ive not watched anything about monkey pox until now. This is the video I've been waiting for. Thank you.
I was just pre-panicking about this! Many thanks for the RELIABLE INFORMATION
I really like this shirt. The red piping is just perfect.
That has got to be the most Montana shirt in Hank's wardrobe.
Love the information. Love the shirt. Thanks SciShow!
Short answer: it can go away but it could be deadly but it may not be as dangerous as covid but still deadly. Stay safe
Coming here before they decide for totally legitimate reasons that monkey pox is the biggest existential threat to humanity.
Is it contagious during incubation, before symptoms appear?
Seems it is not. Contagion begins when the skin pustules appear.
120 in may and now 28,220 just 2 months later. That’s a 235% growth in just 60 days…. And have now been declared a Public Health Emergency…. Good times
Here we go again
Clear, concise, great presentation. And the shirt is just outstanding 👌
Love you all for telling the truth 💜. Much love to you, and all. Say safe, drink water to stay hydrated. And keep learning please.
I got a smallpox vaccination 30 years ago. Sadly, I just read it only lasts for 3 years.
3 years is full immunity, so you still have some immunity.
#468-✅👍🏻
Shameful that $$$ is what controls the supply. I'm hopeful that the African doctors will start to get More people/ science and supply.. backing them, for the future citizens.
Also fear. White scientists uses to experiment on people in Africa. They’re pretty gun shy still in the areas where it happened the most
Thank you for calming us down! 🫶🏽
We need a 2024 update
HANK... WHERE AND THE STINK DID YOU GET THAT AWESOME BUTTON UP SHIRT?! I NEED THAT IN MY LIFE!!!
Uh oh... went to Google when they stopped vaccinating for small pox in the US. I was born in 1980 so I should probably pay attention to the movement of the monkey pox virus.

Thank you for spreading correct and factual information.
When we asked to return to Monke, I don’t quite think this is quite what we meant.
finnaly i know what the actual heck is monkeypox
i can’t go through another lockdown right now.
Bruh, that shirt lol. It's got serious yee haw energy.
Honestly, any disease breaking out of its usual endemic areas is gonna get atention, not just african diseases. It's like if Dengue or yellow fever suddenly broke out in canada, or if cases of leprosy from asia began appearing across europe. It's not news when a place with endemic diseases has these things. we're just unlucky with where most of them come from.
I thought "monkey pox" was a joke...and then when I heard it on the news I just mentally checked out. I'm not super worried about this outbreak, but yknow what? That's what I thought about the 'Vid. Definitely just done with disease right now 😑
If it helps there are often outbreaks of disease. We just don’t really think about them.
@@Nevertoleave it kinda does. I'm more of the mind that this one will be okay given the knowledge that it's been around so long and mostly isolated...I'm just burnt out 😑
@@Nevertoleave Exactly, like the Ebola epidemic in the early 2010s. That one didn't even make it out of Africa (to my knowledge) but I remember some people freaking out about it really badly (maybe because it was widely reported on international news and they mistook it for national news? Idk)
@@raerohan4241 I have been slightly freaked out about Ebola since 1987 while doing research for my undergrad. 1989's Ebola Reston pretty much sealed that deal. Then in 2014 I might have gone temporarily insane. 🤣 However, now that I'm living during a pandemic I seem to have evened out. It's all about perspective.
The flow of this video was pretty good
The appearance of monkeypox had me looking up the smallpox vaccine to see if it was one of the ones I've gotten as a kid.
Turns out the smallpox vaccine wasn't given out in Canada after 1972. 🤔
Same. I thought, "Hey I wasn't vaccinated against smallpox." And I remembered seeing it in the list for international travel vaccinations but the country I was going didn't require it. Now I found out that it is not a recommended vaccination in Australia because it was eradicated. Due to the possible serious side effect, currently the cost outweigh the benefit.
"where you can find the answer to everything you've ever wondered about" - that is a claim so broad as to be absurd
Thank you for being one of the few news outlets to give an accurate and unbiased perspective on the spread of this disease through communities of men who have sex with men.
This was super helpful! Thank you.
This explains why I’ve been eating so many bananas recently 😢😢😣

An advantage to being old, smallpox vaccination as a child. I'm sure there are other advantages but they're not apparent.
There’s a really good chapter on it in The Next Pandemic by Ali Khan, and it too, will reassure you that it’s probably not a big deal as long as you don’t adopt a prairie dog or pet rodent
The statement about lgbtq men being more likely to catch monkeypox may be false, as statistically lgbtq men test for sti's more often, increasing the chances of one being tested positive for it
They test themselves more is a statement onto itself. Statistically they engage in more risky sexual behavior which could contributed to the transmission of disease.
I just wanna say it's funny that youtube is putting the covid banner under this vid for me. Very good job there.
I was born in 1980, my brother in 1982. Our national smallpox vaccination programme for infants stopped in 1981. I keep telling him I'm fully prepared for the next smallpox bioterrorism zombie plague apocalypse (unlike him), but he likes to remind me that the threat is practically non-existent.
Guess monkeypox will have to do 😈
Loved that he was wearing a cowboy shirt!
I am in Africa in Botswana 🇧🇼 which is in Southern Africa.I have never heard of this disease for all 35 years of my life.I googled recently when I heard about it about it’s origin and all of that..If it was that contagious it could have been in all African countries for all this years..That also makes everything suspicious why is it spreading now in most European countries when they say it originated from some Western African countries but never made it to the South or east of Africa,but spread so fast in Europe…..unless they did something more to it than we know.Also I need to understand is it there in Nigeria and Congo like they claim or it was there only years back so we understand it’s a new kind of pox which we should watch out for…
If you look up monkey pox from the CDC, monkey was discovered in *1958 in a laboratory monkey and its first recorded case in humans was in 1970 with a person having pox like markings.*
@@pietrycranberry6621 yes I researched about it, never heard about it before though Congo is not far from my country.But I understand it was there in 1970..I only knew about chicken pox had it around 1998..
