It’s like watching the same movie again.
Yesterday the BAG said according to a Tages-Anzeiger article that an outbreak of Monkey Pox is “extremely unlikely” in Switzerland.
Obviously I commented that this means that it can be only a matter of days now before we’ll see a case. Well, it seems even this was too optimistic….
So we can play a funny game: What will we receive first: Paxlovid* or the Monkeypox medicine?

[*] which is still unavailable in Switzerland despite all our neighbors having it since January or February
No no no no no I am not ready for the next pandemic. I’m still recovering from the last one.
Stop panicking for fucks sake. There are around 100 cases WORLDWIDE, the desease isn’t infectious and not dangerous. Media just love to create headlines and clicks. What do you want, quarantine?
Ok. I haven’t picked up on this craze yet. How bad is it really?
Should we start stockpiling bananas?
It is immensely important that people are informed exactly how the infection occurs. from there it becomes clear that it is not simply transmitted. find out exactly who the infected people are.
Does that mean BAG officials observe guys having sex with other guys…?
^^/s
So what’s the new term for the Covidiots? Can we just call them Apes? Monkidiots? Hmmm…
Chill, it’s not a respiratory disease it won’t spread like Covid. You can panick in about 10 years when the next corona virus is here.
How did it get here? Did a sex tourist got it in Africa and brought it here or what?
“Human-to-human transmission is thought to occur primarily through large respiratory droplets. Respiratory droplets generally cannot travel more than a few feet, so prolonged face-to-face contact is required. Other human-to-human methods of transmission include direct contact with body fluids or lesion material, and indirect contact with lesion material, such as through contaminated clothing or linens.” – basically, if the person you intend to exchange fluids with has lesions on his private parts or is covered in strange pimples, take them to the hospital and then run.
It feels like the world is going into the 5th phase of an end boss fight
There are probably 1000 times more people getting infected by AIDS every day then this MonkeyPox but no one is panicking. Just keep calm, ignore this story and you’ll be fine.
Seems quite convenient that the next pandemic is already ready to go…
Sars-apevid2
Sorry but what does the headline mean?
Zit zum di wiisse chügeli ga choufe
Did the companies producing the “counter-measures” already run out of money? Jesus we just had the fearmongering from covid

Well yes, we are watching it, it’s spreading
>Der kantonsärztliche Dienst habe das Contact Tracing aufgenommen, um mögliche Ansteckungsketten nachvollziehen zu können – [SRF](https://www.srf.ch/news/schweiz/bag-beobachtet-situation-erster-fall-von-affenpocken-in-der-schweiz)
We are doomed.

By the way: [Neither the vaccine nor the medicine](https://twitter.com/marcelsalathe_d/status/1528062868247150597) (both available in the rest of Europe) are approved in Switzerland.
