First case of monkeypox in Toronto.

https://toronto.ctvnews.ca/toronto-investigating-first-suspected-case-of-monkeypox-1.5913934

Health officials in Toronto say they are investigating the first suspected case of monkeypox in the city.

In a news release issued Saturday afternoon, Toronto Public Health (TPH) said the suspected infection was found in a male resident in his 40s.

TPH said the patient had recent contact with an individual who travelled to Montreal and is currently in hospital in stable condition and recovering.

Members of the public may have been exposed to the virus if they attended the Axis Club (located at 722 College Street) on May 14 or Woody's bar (located at 467 Church Street) on either May 13 or May 14.

The Axis Club and Woody's Bar are known for their trade in homosexual prostitutes, so I think a picture is emerging of how this pox is being spread.

Saxi better get vaxxed for this one.

Newsweek reports, WHO says it's wrong to stigmatize Saxi and MrSwdk but I don't care.

More from the cited source by Duk:

Officials highlighted that the risk to the general public is very low.

“Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by a virus that is normally found endemic in central and western Africa. It was first identified in monkeys, but its origins remain unknown,” TPH said in the release.

Symptoms of the virus include fever, headache, muscle aches, swollen lymph nodes and a rash that often begins on the face and spreads to other parts of the body.

TPH said that in most cases, people with a monekypox infection recover on their own without treatment.

The news comes after health officials in Quebec confirmed three cases of the virus on Friday on top of the two cases that were confirmed a day earlier.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) is investigating about two dozen possible infections of monkeypox on top of the confirmed cases in Quebec and says the virus itself is spread through prolonged close contact.

It’s unclear how widespread the virus is in the country, but Canada’s top doctor has said PHAC is considering offering up smallpox vaccines -- which can offer protection against monkeypox -- to prevent infection.

So a quickie won't do it?

[2dimes]

I guess this fits here..

Monky pox on you for your loathsome chiding.

[mookiemcgee]

I've heard the vaccine won't work, and only helps Bill Gates track you when you are jacking off to pictures of Linda Searcy. The real cure is finding a partner and pooping back and forth (forever)

ask saxi; that is beyond my knowledge on a personal or even clinical level.

I did read this:

The name “monkeypox” comes from the first documented cases of the illness in animals in 1958, when two outbreaks occurred in monkeys kept for research. However, the virus did not jump from monkeys to humans, nor are monkeys major carriers of the disease.

(...)

The virus can be transmitted through contact with an infected person or animal or contaminated surfaces. Typically, the virus enters the body through broken skin, inhalation or the mucous membranes in the eyes, nose or mouth. Researchers believe that human-to-human transmission is mostly through inhalation of large respiratory droplets rather than direct contact with bodily fluids or indirect contact through clothes. Human-to-human transmission rates for monkeypox have been limited.

Health officials are worried the virus may currently be spreading undetected through community transmission, possibly through a new mechanism or route. Where and how infections are occurring are still under investigation.

TPH said that in most cases, people with a monekypox infection recover on their own without treatment.

So just like COVID-19, then?

NO, again, saxi, your analysis is cursory, limited, and myopic. Most does NOT Equal All, saxi.

Post-COVID Conditions
Some people who have been infected with the virus that causes COVID-19 can experience long-term effects from their infection, known as post-COVID conditions (PCC) or long COVID.

People call post-COVID conditions by many names, including: long COVID, long-haul COVID, post-acute COVID-19, post-acute sequelae of SARS CoV-2 infection (PASC), long-term effects of COVID, and chronic COVID.

Post-COVID conditions are a wide range of new, returning, or ongoing health problems that people experience after first being infected with the virus that causes COVID-19. Most people with COVID-19 get better within a few days to a few weeks after infection, so at least four weeks after infection is the start of when post-COVID conditions could first be identified. Anyone who was infected can experience post-COVID conditions. Most people with post-COVID conditions experienced symptoms days after their SARS CoV-2 infection when they knew they had COVID-19, but some people with post-COVID conditions did not notice when they first had an infection.

I think your monkeypox is impacting your ability to think. NO, wait, this is NORMAL saxi.

[Dukasaur]

Probably impacting his stool, also.

[jimboston]

I preferred this unofficial thread to the official one at first… but that changed on Sunday at 8:21pm.

I guess Jim's comment and condemnation killed this thread. Bring our your TROLLS..!!

Apparently, "don't be a dirty slut" is good advice for gays as well as straights...

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2022/7/27/as-monkeypox-surges-who-urges-reducing-number-of-sexual-partners

As monkeypox cases surge globally, the World Health Organization has called on the group currently most affected by the virus – men who have sex with men – to limit their sexual partners.

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, who last Saturday declared monkeypox a global health emergency, told reporters that the best way to protect against infection was “to reduce the risk of exposure”.

“For men who have sex with men, this includes, for the moment, reducing your number of sexual partners, reconsidering sex with new partners, and exchanging contact details with any new partners to enable follow-up if needed,” he said on Wednesday.

WHO recommends gay and bisexual men limit sexual partners to reduce the spread of monkeypox

Men who have sex with men are at the highest risk of infection right now from monkeypox, according to the WHO.

About 99% of cases are among men, and at least 95% of those patients are men who have sex with other men, according to WHO official Rosamund Lewis.

WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said men who have sex with men should consider limiting their sexual partners to lower their risk of infection and reduce the spread.

The WHO chief called on media, public health authorities and government to fight stigma and discrimination, which he said will only fuel the outbreak.

The CDC's Monkeypox avoidance guidance.

TL;DR - Biden wants the gays to have sex (a) while fully clothed, (b) standing 20 feet away from each other.

What happened to the Rats staying out of people's bedrooms?

Take a temporary break from activities that increase exposure to monkeypox until you are two weeks after your second dose. This will greatly reduce your risk.

Limit your number of sex partners to reduce your likelihood of exposure.

Spaces like back rooms, saunas, sex clubs, or private and public sex parties, where intimate, often anonymous sexual contact with multiple partners occurs—are more likely to spread monkeypox.

Gloves (latex, polyurethane, or nitrile) might also reduce the possibility of exposure if inserting fingers or hands into the vagina or the anus. The gloves must cover all exposed skin and be removed carefully to avoid touching the outer surface.

Avoid kissing or exchanging spit since monkeypox can spread this way.

Masturbate together at a distance without touching each other and without touching any rash.

Have virtual sex with no in-person contact.

Consider having sex with your clothes on or covering areas where rash is present, reducing as much skin-to-skin contact as possible. Leather or latex gear also provides a barrier to skin-to-skin contact; just be sure to change or clean clothes/gear between partners and after use.

Remember to wash your hands, fetish gear, sex toys, and any fabrics (bedding, towels, clothes) after having sex. Learn more about infection control.
