People are bothered by his name. The world hates the truth and wants to continue living sinfully! God's children are set apart (holy) and righteous.

Yeah.

In any case, no amount of safety will stop that being the easiest way of getting a thing like this and that is in no fucking way their fault. Condoms are never 100%. But it always, ALWAYS comes to more people who aren't gay men getting these things in the long run because, well, it isn't a fucking "gay disease" :)) Anyone can get it but some communities are always gonna be at higher risk no matter the precautions taken- and we should lean into that to help protect them rather than mock them and shame them for having a sex life...

Some of us were medical professionals who knew immediately all the errors and flat out lies weren't going to help. Masks didn't help, and the asymptomatic infection period was nothing ever experienced before. By the time you got sick, everyone else was already infected. By May of 2020 millions of experienced health professionals realized that the only way to get over the pandemic was to have the maximum exposure as possible in order to get immunity. By Jun we were called names, the science put forth ignored, and thence grew the completely untrue allegations of spreading misinformation and the banning of posts and closing of accounts. So take your viewpoint and your superior attitude about fellow human beings and try to learn something by listening this time around.

Not the greatest analogy though since not wearing masks violates the safety of others who cannot consent whereas close contact like sex involves more consent and communication between people who can assess risk together.

I sat in environmental classes in University in the mid 80s. The professor had us calculate the size of a resulting lump of bacteria growing under ideal conditions for 48 hours. Of course a few parameters were given and a few assumptions like the bacteria being spherical were made but what astounded everyone was that after 48 hours the resulting lump would be a larger diameter than the known universe. He did that to display just how powerful biological processes are. He also had us calculate average wind speeds depending on average temperature increases. His prediction was that humanity will go extinct due to one of 3 things or a combination of it: computers, nuclear fission or genetic technology. Needless to say we're talking 80s here - Internet was non-existent, nuclear was basic and genetics just started up. He was so right about it. He stopped giving the classes a few years later because as he explained: I've given this class for over 10 years - the first environmental class in the country. I don't see any result from teaching this topic - it's useless to have these classes. He was right about that too. To this day we have classes about environment and then once the students leave the university all that happens is to try to pry a profit from the problem but in reality nobody really cares. Humanity has it coming. Not in my lifetime anymore, for which I'm thankful, but soon thereafter.

Thankfully, we're getting better with information about diseases being disseminated among people.

I was only 20 at the time, but looking back, the fact that they were still somehow selling prairie dogs after that fiasco is just wild.

You can definetly learn that formula and then you are asked a question to fill in the correct numbers and that's it. That is the conventional way. Or you you get a question where a problem is described so now you use your knowledge to find out which formula you need and how to use it in this case. Knowing the precise formula itself is not important. You can just look that up there is no point in just knowing those formulas anyways.

Worse yet of worse is the physically printed forms can also leave out stuff from the software. Take Gerry Gillian, Neil Franz Kafka, a whole lot of fever dream, and then you get the GD nightmare.

That the vaccines were not given before expiration isn't necessarily because of some "resistance" to help others, the SARS2 vaccines were given sort of on time to other countries, including mine. Often things are just more simple when abstracted from all the real world factors, bureaucratic and logistic. And people in charge are also not necessarily as capable as they'd want to be. I'm not sure "selfishness" plays a significant role in sabotaging such efforts, at least not most of the time. There's even some saying along the lines of how we should always prefer to assume some degree of ineptness or other issues over malice. The saying isn't phrased as nicely though, it's the "Hanlon's razor." That's not to deny that there aren't many "America 1st" type of people who'd be lamentably easily primed into the most selfish takes possible depending on what their leaders/idols thought was convenient to their own careers, but out of such bad influences even them are probably most often reasonably good people and probably even proud of being of a country that's helping others. Even on personal/individual level it seems that they fare better on things such as charity.

For a little historical perspective, I read how the eruption of Tambora in 1815 (the biggest of the millennium) caused changes in weather patterns globally, which then led to cholera pandemics over the next couple of decades. When cholera reached the British Isles, the aristocracy was at first unconcerned because it was only affecting poor Irish communities. It wasn’t until the disease began spreading to the aristocracy that the government began making an effort to help the people in general. This, iirc, would eventually lead to the establishment of the NHS in the UK. In other words, we’ve already learned a lot of these lessons, but we keep forgetting or getting distracted by shiny things. 🙏

Back then sewage wasn't piped to a treatment facility, it was stored in local cesspits (basically a huge nasty brick-lined pimple underground full of feces) and those seeped into local wells (basically a brick-lined tunnel straight down until water starts seeping in from the walls). People didn't really wash their hands the way we'd expect now; for example doctors would go from elbows-deep in a cadaver, wipe off, go straight to a maternity ward, and people wondered why expectant mothers were suffering from corpse-borne diseases. It's shocking how stupid people were. Which means in 200 years (if not 50) our descendants will be shocked by how completely stupid WE are now.

As a species we don't learn well from the mistakes of others. The first recorded case of clear cut logging was in ancient Greece. They discovered the top soil had washed away, and nothing would grow. They couldn't cultivate the land, and it took a long time until sparce, hardy wild plants would grow, beginning mostly around the edges of logged area. There were no animals. Those responsible wrote about the consequences, even saying 'We will never do this again.'. There is a reason history repetes itself, even in such an educated time.

Faxes are used absurdly often in the healthcare system. Sometimes it's the most efficient option we can use. Granted, not the most efficient option in existence, just the most efficient one that's been given the okay by The Powers That Be. I was once told that faxes are used instead of email in some cases because it's supposedly more secure, in that a fax system "can't be hacked like email". But the fax number can be mistyped when sending it. Which can result in fantastically secure results, such as a medical document ending up being sent to a car dealership rather than a medical center.

Why is this important for you "as a gay man"? I dont want to offend you, but there is a clear misconception I want to point out: This isnt about gay people (btw same with aids), this is about people mindlessly fucking around with other people they dont know.Hetero, gay, whatever, doesnt matter. -> you should say: "As a man with a lot of random sex, this is important information" or, if this is not the case, the information isnt more important for you than for anyone else who doesnt regularly stick his Wiener in unknown holes. in no case, this is somehow important for you because you are a gay man! It`s important to understand, because 1) I think it`s just wrong to lable gay people in general as people who have a lot of mindless sex with strangers. 2) When things are labled as a "gay community issue", it gives false signs of security to the heteros..like "oh yeah, the gays again.." I think this is a really bad episode! While trying to be sensitive and somehow making amends for everything that went wrong in early media education about aids, it makes this fundamental mistake in portraying this as a gay issue.

Hey, I'm a molecular scientist and am validating a monkey pox test for multiple private labs across the country. There IS an early detection test where you test blood. HOWEVER, once pox start appearing (some ppl have mild symptoms and it may not be ass apparent) it's not really detectable that way and can cause false negative results. Theres just a window where it shifts to pox that causes us issues. Unfortunately our labs arent able to participate in research to test other sample collection processes. Next time I get a fever I'll swab myself in every way I can think though to give us a justifiable direction if it is mpxv though.

That prairie dogs link is not surprising. They're like a super-highway for disease and one of the consistent sources of Yersinia pestis (bubonic plague), anthrax, hantavirus and a host of others. How they haven't been the subject of an extermination campaign is frankly amazing.

It’s really sad and pathetic that we can have vaccines and know information about a disease and still not be able to properly respond to an outbreak of that disease.

A laminated card briefly explaining his condition might prove useful. Add a short joke or funny picture to the back or bottom, and change it up from time to time. If you can make someone smile or laugh, you own their soul. 😉 If only our “leaders” were more interested in helping their citizens, perhaps we would have found a cure or better treatment by now. But nooo, instead we have some pie-in-the-sky spending to address problems that most don’t agree on and that won’t fix the problems they set out to in the first place. Sorry, I can’t help myself in getting political. Prayers for both of you.

One good thing is that it might shed some light on the disease. It can help others to understand it. With kids, that will take away much of the fear that results in teasing/rejection by peers. And that will probably help younger kids with the disease to not be as self conscious. I now know what the man in my store has and that automatically made me feel like I could relate to him better. (Not sure why.) I guess that's just what light does.

I think they're called prairie 'dogs' because they 'bark'. For those that don't know, these things live in huge underground colonies that connect dozens of openings. When on of the prairie dogs sees a threat, they will run to an entrance then start making a chirping noise that sounds like a high pitch bark, letting the rest of the 'town' know that there is a threat. They will sit there barking until you get close and then they will run into the burrow. But, there will be several prairie dogs out barking as you pass by.

Your description of a prairie dog burrow sounds like a horror movie that ends with a spry Shia LaBeouf hurling lit dynamite into the openings as he scrambles over rocks and just barely survives to leap clear of the blast. As the smoke clears, it becomes obvious that the infestation was more extensive than they thought, and the camera pans out to show Wyoming collapsing as static rips the shot to black and credits roll. Ten actors, a hundred crew, ten thousand SFX from 17 countries. No real prairie dogs were harmed in the filming. Teamsters Union logo for some reason. Post-credits clip shows LeBeouf in a post-apoc getup climbing aboard a jetski, pointing the other survivors to the oil rig offshore. As they set out, the camera rotates to look straight down through the water and you can see in the murky depths a school of prairie dogs swimming under the last of humanity.
