Monkeypox (love the name, though it doesn’t come from monkeys) outbreak now, and a puzzling one. Nobody knows where it’s coming from. Notice not one person is suggesting we ‘live with’ monkeypox, they’re shutting it down as fast as they can. Covid is a much more deadly disease, and we all go out to pubs and breathe it in every week, having a jolly good time. Because we’re stupid.
