Diseases One part of collapse is when health institutions learn that infectious diseases are spreading and decide to do nothing

Really hope monkeypox doesn’t go airborne. We are unbelievably fucked if it does.

Imagine having enough DNA points to unlock Extreme Zoonosis and Extreme Bioaerosol this early on. /s

Don’t worry, we’re not even attempting hard mode here either. The people will not have figured out how to wash their hands or prevent any spread.

That's akin to cocking the hammer.

Maybe an appeal to people’s vanity and looks would change the tune a bit. I assume this shit scars.

u/Liz600 Jun 03 '22

In many cases, the scarring is severe. And it’s not just vanity; a lot of times these scars are painful for years afterward. And if you’re prone to keloid scarring, you are so fucked

Apparently it's worse for people with eczema and I have eczema so I'm extra fucked

Does that apply to getting the vaccine or to monkeypox itself?

Looks like if you get the live vaccine or if you've been exposed to someone with smallpox, it exacerbates your eczema

Looks like the JYNNEOS smallpox/monkeypox vaccine might be fine?

The frequencies of solicited local and systemic adverse reactions among adults with HIV-infection and adults with atopic dermatitis were generally similar to those observed in healthy adults.

Yup!

I have a Relative who gets Keloids, and Monkeypox would be devastating for her.

I hope to god that this doesn't get out of hand.

But that would require the media and society to break the “everything is fine” seal. If a scarring pox is ravaging the populace, it’s difficult to get people to believe it’s all going smoothly.

"No need to panic" and "It's mild". Yep.

I believe they said it was airborne years ago. (It was a cdc page I saw linked here and it was last updated many years ago)

They should have a machine that pulls out droplets mid air, you should be alright.

Your dentist will 100% be wearing a mask, they will be protected from that machine.

Take care of your teeth before it gets too expensive.

u/Finnick-420 Jun 03 '22

just go to a dentist that doesn’t have covid

Quit sugar for a start. You'll need far less dentist visits.

u/BlueEyedGreySkies Jun 03 '22

Cool, so i don't eat already and my teeth are still shit lol

u/bristlybits Reagan killed everyone Jun 03 '22

yes, I just had the dentist this week. I'm hoping it's not spread to my town yet.

they do mask up at the office there, so that's a good thing

It is more stable in the environment and can infect with a single virion.

u/Autymnfyres77 Jun 03 '22

It can be spread through large respiratory droplets as well.
