Looks like the next pandemic might already be upon us. Monkeypox cases now in the UK, Spain, Portugal, Canada and the US  :'(

And it’s sexually transmitted! :o

I know, but they spent the first three months of the covid pandemic debating how it’s spread so the first answer isn’t always the right one.

The first human case was identified over 50 years ago, I think they know how it's spread.  The United Kingdom had an outbreak about five years ago.

All the other out breaks have been single digit cases outside of Africa, cases are appearing that can’t be linked to each other. That hasn’t happened before.

I’m going to be completely honest, I’m just worried about my holiday next week. It’s already been kiboshed once by Covid, then we rescheduled for Feb half term but the kids got chicken pox, so we rescheduled again for end of next week. If we have to reschedule again I think my head might just explode!

Today is 10 consecutive days of positive tests for Covid for me.

Symptoms have largely gone, I'm left with a slight cough (as in, I cough when I want to clear my chest, not uncontrollably) and slight stuffiness in my nose.

My sister's birthday meal was rearranged from last Friday to this Friday specifically because of my Covid situation.

Assuming I'm still testing positive tomorrow, am I likely to be contagious? I've told her I don't think I should come if I'm testing positive as it feels irresponsible to go to a restaurant when testing positive but then I'm reading that residual positive tests do not mean you're likely to be contagious.

Any thoughts?

agree, seems to be mainly newspapers trying to secure clicks off the back of probably heightened disease anxiety since lockdowns, as opposed to scientists.

I seem to recall being told not to test after I'd had the ten days shielding, because basically it can stay in your system for up to 30 days afterwards.

Have you a high temperature still?

I know a PCR test can come back positive for a long while afterwards. Not sure on LFT.

No other symptoms.

It’s transmitted either sexually or through prolonged skin contract, isn’t otherwise easily transmitted from human to human, is mostly mild and we have a vaccine which is 75-85% effective against it.

It’s in no way similar to COViD thankfully.

It's also transmitted via respiratory droplets, so prolonged face-to-face can spread it.  It's a world away from Covid though, in fact if it weren't for the recent pandemic I doubt it would of even made the news.

Yeah the pandemic has definitely given a further string to the bow of c*nts trying to make stories out of nothing.

Not that I’m implying that the news of the pandemic itself is an example of that obviously, but it has opened the doors to a whole new world of bullshit reporting - everytime I open a web browser there’s some bullshit about ‘variants’ or some other shit which when you actually read it is just utter crap.

I think you should be okay. The first time I had it I had a cough for about three weeks, but work insisted I stayed off in that time. But once you have come through the initial 7/10 days whatever it is, you should be okay.

Yea It's different, we have strategies for dealing with an outbreak of this kind of virus that go back years. If we follow them correctly we should get control of this. Covid was different, the characteristics of the virus and it's novelty really screwed us.

For this one it's going to be important to figure out if we can pinpoint what's happened. Is it due to a super spreading event of sorts that kicked it off, and it remains a virus that doesn't transmit very well between people. It looks that way so far, despite it popping up in different countries at the same time. Think we'll learn over the next few days that is the case.

It's got the potential to be massively disruptive if we cant get control of the chains of infection. Not like Covid with huge mortality but more due to its 3-4 week long symptoms if it starts being passed onto health care workers. Strategy to tackle it should prevent that though, need to get ahead of this one quickly.

It's partly that, and partly that we're on the look out for any variation in infectiousness with any disease, rightfully so, but (famous last words) this will come and go.  It won't be a covid thing.

There's one hell of a difference between monkey pox and covid in that a recluse rather can't catch monkey pox. It requires extreme proximity to people so it's an extremely easy virus to isolate from. The particular strain is also less deadly per capita than the original covid variant, let alone that very few people in relative terms will catch it.

For those who've missed new name's allusion:


To this day, people from Hartlepool are affectionately known as ‘monkey hangers’.

Well, the Mrs and I have just caught Covid for the first time. We've tested a lot, we had to for work but yeah... Its finally got us.

This doesn't feel like Omicron. This has more Deltary vibes.

Wife's a couple of days ahead of me. She's out cold. Fever, headaches and general acheyness. She's can't even manage to WFH.

Me, I'm freezing my nuts off and aching all over. Hopefully it doesn't get worse.

Do you know what, I don't even know. There's zero coverage on it anymore. Have to look for data. Everyone's just absolutely back to normal which is a bit mental.

Technically I can go to the shops or a gig now without a mask. I wouldn't because I'm not a dick.
It´s back to normal most places now. England is no outlier.
Unless I see people wearing masks and my own measures against it I do "forget" about it on occasion. So just wondered how England is doing with it now. Or is it at a point where you just get on with it now.

I'd say over 95% of people don't wear masks anymore. But some still do, and I'm beginning to wonder when/why they'll stop. Considering we don't count cases or even test anymore, when is the point it is safe to not wear a mask?

I don't think some people will ever stop wearing a mask in public now. Only last week I saw a young healthy looking guy in his 20's cutting the grass in his own garden wearing a mask. But hey, if it makes him feel better about himself or if it makes him feel safer, fair play to him. Fucking pointless though.

Might be for hay fever reasons or something like that if he was in his garden on his own.

I’m going back in the tube once a week for work now. First few times I did it I wore a mask and was probably about 25% doing it. Week by week the numbers dropped and I have stopped.

Do have a colleague from NI who flew in last week, spent the day coughing whilst cheerfully telling us don’t worry, it’s not Covid and then text us the day after she got back to say it actually was Covid. Seems like we all avoided it though.
