Monkey Pox

So we have had Covid which has gone on for a few years and is still around. Now we have Monkey Pox, so they will still let everybody into the UK so it spreads everywhere. Who will stop all this nonsense. We have to wait till somebody in the Government gets it then they do something. Still I suppose all the old Pensioners who won't have a pot to P-ss in, will be indoors all the time, once they have taken away their Bus Pass, I remember I don't think Nick Clegg liked old people very much he wanted to take everything as well. They think everybody sits indoors knitting like 60 yrs ago.

"Should be allowed out to play soon!"And drink up your Lucozade before it loses its fizz.

Listening to a R4 programme yesterday sounds like most transmission is via sexual contact - so just take care who you hook up with on Tinder - or Grindr …

Thanks, Phillipa, I have sneaked out to the park a couple of times for some exercise. Should be allowed out to play soon!

Hope you feel better soon Michael and can escape put into the wider world.It's good to hear that vaccines are being sent to try and deal with mpox so it doesn't spread or doesn't spread so fast.  We're one world.Things aren't always as bad as they may seem:Here's a little quiz on perceptions:https://factfulnessquiz.com/

Well they will be competing for Council Houses, so any youngster will be living at home forever if they have no money.

"aschimptomatic"Very good. Mind you, just for a moment I foolishly thought that your keypad had gone rogue again.

*bout* !

Thanks, Ivonne and Judy. A fairly mild bought and, yes, annoying that I've to wait a couple more days before I can go back out to play!

Michael Ixer ● 303d

Oh Michael, what bad luck!All the very best for a prompt recovery and all clear.Take care

Michael, sorry to hear you have Covid. With any luck it will be mild and just boring while you wait for that pesky red line to go away.

Judy Allen ● 304d

You do cheer us up Andy. Don't pick a spot it might spread.

Barbara Stevens ● 304d

There is a danger with the monkey pox that people will be aschimptomatic and show no initial signs.😁

Thanks, Carole

Hallo, MichaelPlease get well soon.Very best wishes

Carole Tanner ● 304d

Thanks, Barbara, not too bad; a couple of days like a bad cold now having to sit it out until no longer infectious.

Michael Ixer ● 304d

Sorry to hear your not well Michael, hope your not too badly affected by Covid.  Well lets hope they look to see if they have any pimples before they let them off their boats.

Yes, we still have Covid, I've got it at the moment; why do you think I'm posting so much to the forum at the moment! Plans cancelled!We appear to have a vaccine for m-pox, so why not get it where it's needed? Western nations should invest and send it to stop an epidemic turning into a pandemic? Are you suggesting closing all borders, Barbara? Don't think the travel, hospitality, education, etc industries would appreciate that!
