I admit I was wrong. I thought the Dems would go Chicken Little over a new covid variant for midterms. Looks like they found something better :rolleyes:

Lockdowns, masks, vaccinations -- just in time for midterms.

I'm not participating :smoke:

Does anyone explain how 2 children got monkeypox if it's a virus spread through sexual contact?

It's not spread through sexual contact.

It's not spread through sexual contact.

How do we know that? And if you're right, will you be right next week?

Perhaps I should have said it's not "only" spread through sexual contact. And I am frequently correct... both weeks. :poke:

But the majority of the spread is between gay men and men who have sex with men. Which seems rather redundant. :unsure:
