And Now Monkeypox, Right?

[dewline]

siderea makes some notes about the monkeypox situation. Once again, we are likely to be Not Paranoid Enough about the things that we should be, because the organized bigots are going to start leveraging this too to restore their power over their chosen prey-groups if they haven't already. And that will likely undermine the public health measure we should already be undertaking.

(Should I use "Augh!" or "Virus Don't Care" for this one?)

Thank you for linking to that, it was an informative read. And yes, I agree, and it's troublesome.

Oh fun, another pandemic but this one targetting an already stigmatized community.

Of course, there's a tiny British child in ICU so it's not only in said community.

And there are many other infections that can kill us. And somewhere else there is a brick that can fall on someone's head. But this does not mean that life is already over.
