Re: MonkeyPox
There is a major problem with animal names, Chicken = coward, Monkey = mischievous and you don't want to stigmatise people by associating a label like that to them.
The difficulty is that different nations view animals differently. You need to find an animal that can't be negative when attached to humans but doesn't denigrate any animal that is held in high regard either. |

For something that is meant to be difficult to transmit human to human, there seems to be a lot of cases. |

No one has ever thought someone getting chickenpox is 'cowardly', or someone getting monkeypox is 'mischievous'. :rolleyes: |

Racists often like to compare black people with primates. Just seen a news report. A guy who recovered from it said that it was extremely painful, so much so that he gave the doctors treating him carte blanche to take any action that they thought would help. ---------- Post added at 04:59 ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 ---------- Forgot to say that it was also said that it isn't just the typical symptoms that are present when it manifests itself, it can also present itself in the same way as a sexually transmitted disease and has fooled some doctors into erroneously thinking that this was what it was. |

Everything in the world is not racist (except to those trying very hard to find it where none exists). Oh, and its name "originated" from Denmark. Quote:

Re: MonkeyPox
This particular outbreak is said to have started in Central & West Africa.
I suspect that this will be a major reason why they want to change the name. Didn't they do something similar with one particular strain of the coronavirus? |

While chemsex may be a thing and the monkeypox spread amongst this particular group fast (like it did with aids incidentally), drugs and the rave side of things are not really a factor in anything. No more than alcohol helping drunk people get laid. |
