Yes we could. Ask people with symptoms to be responsible and stay at home till their not infectious. If you have symptoms and your unsure if it’s monkeypox get medical advice. You wouldn’t be out and about if you had any other infectious disease like measles or meningitis so I’m not sure what the difference is.
If it is true that the vast majority (have seen 98% quoted) of people who have it are gay men and if it is true that it is largely caught by gay men having sex with strangers then the best course of action is to ask gay men to take more precautions
Probably not, we needed to act harder, much sooner.
If only there was something more recently we could have learnt lessons from
not without laws that criminalise knowingly spreading disease, and making employers legally responsible for lost earnings of any staff member who gets sick after contact with a known sick staff member.
a lot of sociopaths in the world who’s only gauge on ethics, is what will get them penalised for harming others.
We could of done but the media and everyoen decided to call it a gay man disease when they found out thats the majority of cases are from even though it spread to a child and can be spread through skin to skin contact and stays on the surface for hours. And so decided that its no longer news worthy and because queer men make up the majority everyone else thinks they’re immune because they’re not a queer man.
The data is a bit skewed because gay men tend to get tested for STI’s more often and are more clued up to their (sexual) health.
Straight men and women tend to think they’re indestructible hence new HIV infections are now found more often in straight people than gay.

Marburg or Nipah are looking like strong contenders for the next release.
