    Washington:

    Ninety-five percent of monkey pox cases have been transmitted through sexual activity, according to the largest study to date, which also noted new clinical signs such as single genital lesions.

    The research, published in the New England Journal of Medicine on Thursday, came as World Health Organization experts debated whether to classify the outbreak as a global health emergency, the highest alarm it can sound.

    Led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London, the new paper looked at 528 confirmed infections in 16 countries, between April 27 and June 24, 2022.

    I am sure that this was much funnier in your head than it turned out on the message board.

    From what I can read on the subject, if you are within the generations which received the vaccines for chickenpox, mumps measles, rubella etc. You should already have sufficient defenses to keep it to a very mild illness. I'm unsure about the monkey.......:)

    In full disclosure I was going to post something along the same lines, but I’m sure it would have been much more clever

    If I see anyone fall out of a tree I’m going to run away as fast as I can.

    The best part is after identifying himself as the sole source of the disease, he then asserts that the risk to kids is low, presumably because he only occasionally sleeps with kids.
