CDC:

Monkeypox spreads between people primarily through direct contact with infectious sores, scabs, or body fluids. It also can be spread by respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-face contact. Monkeypox can spread during intimate contact between people, including during sex, as well as activities like kissing, cuddling, or touching parts of the body with monkeypox sores.

The CDC raised its alert level for monkeypox to level 2 on Monday, recommending that travelers wear masks


I'm not trying to make a political point. I'm just asking:

Can someone please explain this one to me? In English, please.

Basically it’s spread by touch and bodily fluids.

So, you can get it from sex. But, if someone spits in your mouth, and you have a scab there (or a cut or an ulcer), you can get the monkeypoxies as well.

The chances of catching it with a fleetinflg “hello old chap” are pretty small. But say you’re locked in a cabin and have hours of hours of talking face to face… the chances of catching it go up.
If you’re eating crisps (or any foods with sharp edges), the chances go up as well.

Edit:
That being said, there’s something like a thousand cases world wide… I wouldn’t worry about it. Unless you have arse sores and you’re going to international monkeypox spreading orgy events.

Dems will keep us in masks forever if they have their way. It's all part of their plan to keep us in fear and act like good little sheep.

Oh please, just go away, you live under a Trump colored rock and will never understand reality. That alone destroys your credibility.
The SCIENCE shows it really helps to wear masks and you seem to not care ONE MILLION folks are dead from Covid, which of COURSE you will just poo poo the whole thing because you don't believe any science.

And yet you buy into every fear-inducing story shoveled out by the Republican Party, don't you? I don't hear you complaining about that.

Why would they want that?

Because their dark, black hearts are full of hate of the fluffy, cloudy, baby angels in the MAGA party. Of course.

A simple “no, I can’t answer the question” would have sufficed.

You just made my point, paranoid, the whole lot of you, some assswipe who doesn't have a CLUE what he or she is talking about but just makes up BS to gain followers and it sure worked its magic on you. Totally drank the koolaid made up by ultrarightwingnuts bent on putting the blame on science with weird motivations right out of a comic book.

But you also don't care your buddy corrupter, well EX corrupter in chief ignored the issue and wasted MONTHS that could have cut down the deaths by half but NO, your corrupter in chied says stick a uv light down your throat, ingest bleach, yah, THAT'L clear out those nasty bugs, maybe you should stick one of those UV lights up your ASS and maybe your brain can start growing again and sluff off the Trump Koolaid.
