Just seen a news bulletin ....there are now 20 cases of monkey pox in uk ....with more cases not only in Europe , but in the US and Canada .....and the government is ordering smallpox vaccine…..I hope I’m overreacting , but this is sounding eerily familiar ! WHO is apparently convening an emergency meeting to discuss the spread ….let’s hope they are overreacting as well .

It's an ugly looking disease that's for sure

Yes, it is Slim…..and so many of the things they’ve been saying …eg downplaying it initially , but gradually seeing it increase ….seem to be mirroring the early days of covid .

Monkey pox aside . . . urghh, are we becoming the vermin we so ruthlessly exterminate?

I called our GP to get a 'call-back' appointment over the phone and was told I was too late as all the appointments had gone due to "so many of the doctors being off sick".

Quite alarming when you think about it

They (UKHSA and the ECDC) are now saying people with the monkey pox should not handle their pets …and should isolate them …to prevent a reservoir (ping pong effect) between humans and domestic animals !
