The results are in. Monkeypox will now officially be called “Schlong Covid.”
Heh. Heh.
Vibes to the butthole surfers that get monkeypox. It sucks.
Just stop fucking strangers. Problem solved.

In all seriousness, I don't think it's as much about hetero/homo as it is about how sexually active a person is.. Sames as AIDS, it starts out clustered in that highly active demographic, but will reach all of the others eventually. The daycare case is pretty alarming. You can get it handling someone's clothes, a handshake, high five, hugging a friend or colleague. Don't laugh too hard, it also transfers via face to face talking droplets, coughing,etc... Any one of us could get it tomorrow.
Go that way really REALLY fast. If something gets in your way, TURN!

No doubt it can be hetero.
There’s an enchanted forest nearby where gay men get their dick sucked by random strangers.
I always wished there was a forest where a random girl would suck my dick.

The trend was evident in the EU and UK by mid-July, with the US lagging ~4 weeks behind.
Increased awareness, and (mostly) behavior modification, along with population targeted vaccination.
Possible first fatality in the US in a severely immunocompromised individual being reported, and something crazy like 30-40% of those infected also HIV+.Move upside and let the man go through...

What if we put the vaccine in poppers.

You forgot my qualifier - "if the growth rate continues." And the usual disclaimer about future results.
And the growth has indeed slowed. I considered posting about it a couple weeks ago, but this thread was off the front page and I didn't care enough. From your graph, it looks like the exponential phase has ended. If it stays that way, monkeypox may remain a minor disease (unless you catch it).
Usual disclaimer about future results.

Well of course! Your "qualifier" is literally a "I'm right unless I'm wrong." Your caveat was literally the opposite the basis of your argued position: that growth rates would continue. You believed the growth rates would continue, that it would spill outside of a MSM subgroup and continue at these rates.
I and others theorized that would not be the case, based on our understanding of the subject.Originally Posted by blurred

I'm not as close to the gay community as I was 5 years back but I'd suspect that as this pox doesn't require the sex act to spread, this downward trend is pushed by a behavior modification in avoiding all the touchy, kissy, feely greetings and group hugs. Miss those parties. Party food was to die for and too much of it.

We've given 20x the number of vaccine doses as there are cases of illness. Given the ring vaccination (post-exposure prophylaxis) and high risk (pre-exposure prophylaxis) strategies, this likely greatly benefited the multi-type self and group behavior modification through a huge awareness and media campaign plus other public health interventions like contact tracing and isolating.

My argument was a simple projection of the growth rate, and a call to do something about it. Also, an observation that at that time, there was no sign the early efforts were effective. I never argued I was right about anything except what exponential growth does, and how quickly it does it. And given that, we needed a stronger response sooner. (several agencies declared public health emergencies subsequently)
Projections are almost always "wrong." And I called this out in my posts. Projections are meant for recognizing possible futures. I don't want to see a repeat of Covid's early mistakes, poohpoohing the small number of cases while ignoring the growth.
Currently daily cases appear to be slowly falling, so poohpoohing is less risky now. If the trend continues, we'll eventually extinguish monkeypox, and most will never have a case. <-- also a projection, I hope it's correct.
I'm sorry, not sorry, that the monkeypox pandemic is not matching my projection. That was and is my true hope.
