Here is my take on Monkeypox... (I am NOT a physician.)  Since this Monkeypox is related to Smallpox, and most of us have been vaccinated as a child of Smallpox, we are covered against getting Monkeypox for the most part.

Is there any treatment or a vaccine available for monkeypox?

For the vast majority of people, signs and symptoms of monkeypox will resolve on their own, without any treatment. Rest, plenty of fluids and good nutrition are all that are usually required.

The risk of serious illness may be greater in pregnant women, children and those with weaker immune systems.

For those who are severely immune compromised, and for those younger who may not have been given a Smallpox vaccination, well, chances are you 1. won't get it 2. if you get it won't show any symptoms 3. if you get it and show symptoms, your chances of dying of it are 1%...  So yes, it looks awful and omg another possible global pandemic yikes, so they work on a booster for those of us who have had a Smallpox vaccination and a 1st vaccine shot for everyone else. 

Quote

It emerged on Friday that the UK had bolstered its supplies of a vaccine against smallpox, a related but more severe virus that has been eradicated. According to the World Health Organization, “vaccination against smallpox was demonstrated through several observational studies to be about 85% effective in preventing monkeypox”. The jab may also help to reduce the severity of illness.

The vaccine has already been offered to high-risk contacts of confirmed cases, including some healthcare workers, in the UK, although it is unclear how many have been vaccinated.

So what I am saying is, let's not worry about this.  Keep wearing masks if necessary in areas of COVID outbreaks and do whatever the experts say normally.  I mean heck wash hand, keep stuff clean, basic hygine stuff.

How is it spread?

Monkeypox does not spread easily between humans, and requires close contact. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is thought that human-to-human transmission primarily occurs through large respiratory droplets.

“Respiratory droplets generally cannot travel more than a few feet, so prolonged face-to-face contact is required,” the CDC says. “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.”

But don't worry about this one.   2 cents  Meanwhile, the memes are funny, the name of the disease is funny, but to anyone who gets it and those horrible Dark Ages type of poxes BLESS YOUR HEART!!! Hopefully it's not too painful, won't leave horrible scars, and that it won't kill you.   https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/may/23/what-is-monkeypox-source-cases-infections-spread-experts
