The bad taste of better days

I just wish to submit it is unreasonable to have to deal with the outbreak of a rare disease in the middle of an ongoing pandemic of a novel virus which far too many people are treating with pure denial because they got bored with it, thanks. "One expert told Reuters the recent outbreak of monkeypox could be due to increased travel after COVID restrictions dropped." Wheeee.

Your Local Epidemiologist has a great, and fairly reassuring, post about monkeypox.
One of the big, useful takeaways from the post is that monkeypox is not a novel virus, so we already have a vaccine, treatment protocols, and really good handle on transmission and how the disease works.
I'm already masking indoors, and I'm going to go back to more frequent handwashing.

I appreciate that link! Much of it was information I had seen from other sources, but not all of it and not all compiled in the same place by a person taking all of it into account in their analysis.

I have never really changed my protocols around other people, so I guess I'll just keep them up.
