… or should we instead not pay rent due to “Biden administration declares the monkeypox outbreak a public health emergency” (CNN):
The declaration follows the World Health Organization announcement last month that monkeypox is a public health emergency of international concern. WHO defines a public health emergency of international concern, or PHEIC, as “an extraordinary event” that constitutes a “public health risk to other States through the international spread of disease” and “to potentially require a coordinated international response.”
Some cities and states, including New York City, San Francisco, California, Illinois and New York, have already declared monkeypox an emergency, allowing them to free up funding and resources for their responses to the outbreak.
On Tuesday, President Joe Biden named Robert Fenton as the White House’s national monkeypox response coordinator. Fenton — a regional Federal Emergency Management Agency administrator who oversees Arizona, California, Hawaii and Nevada — will coordinate the federal government’s response to the outbreak.
Monkeypox can infect anyone, but the majority of cases in the US outbreak have been among men who have sex with men, including gay and bisexual men and people who identify as transgender. Close contact with an infected individual is required for the spread of the monkeypox virus, experts say.
Concentrating on that last paragraph, now that Science has declared an emergency, should we start wearing protective cloth masks on visits to the local bathhouse?
Separately, one of my most COVID-concerned Facebook friends has been posting images of himself and his wife, fully masked, at a 70,000-person indoor board game convention. Apparently, there was a one-hour process for scrutinizing vaccine papers (Science says that there is no way to transmit a SARS-CoV-2 infection if a person has been injected with proven-by-Science COVID-19 “vaccines”). The same guy posted some rage against convention attendees who did not Follow Science by attending a 70,000-person indoor event while wearing a mask of some sort:
This guy and similar are endlessly fascinating to me. He is concerned enough about COVID-19 to wear a mask and post about others’ mask-wearing. But he is not concerned enough about an aerosol respiratory virus to refrain from attending a 70,000-person indoor event that attracts diseased individuals from all around the world.
Finally, when will the CDC announce a hangar rent moratorium? That’s the kind of COVID-19/monkeypox relief that I feel would be most beneficial.

Protective cloth masks in bathhouses would be the first step, but we also need a nationwide monkeypox vaccine mandate for cisgendered heterosexuals to stop the spread.
Anon: You raise a great point. Has Science developed a monkeypox vaccine that renders a person fully capable of being infected with and transmitting the monkeypox virus? My understanding is that is the best kind of vaccine for stopping a global pandemic.
There is an ongoing rent moratorium in Los Angeles that is not going to expire until at least
August 2024! Only stupid people pay rent here.
Looks like the same in China, big mortgage strike

I wonder when the claws of the Panda will strike back?
Pavel! What a sight for sore eyes. I have wondering what the great menace to the north is up to.
Toucan Sam, my friend, not as menacing as I used to be, China summoned a Canadian diplomat over Taiwan, so I expect by Monday our PM Justin Castro will bend over and declare Taiwan a rebel province of China and also ban Pelosi-Cola from travel to Canada.
If you like your Pelosi-Cola, you will have to keep your Pelosi-Cola!

I chose to sell my home in California instead of rent it given all the moratoriums on eviction. It closed this week and to celebrate the closing I contracted corona. Florida got me in 2 months after avoiding the plague for 2.5 years. My final California tax.
Given the leadership and sage advice of the public health establishment we keep meeting new parents who have chosen to not inject ANY science with their newborns. Some have completely unplugged from the health establishment opting for homeopathic remedies.
No-one really knows just how much more promiscuous gay men are than straight men, but it’s probably shocking. Take away all the rules of heterosexual love, 1 gender making the 1st move, 1 gender demonstrating higher value, 1 gender winning the bread, 1 gender being a slut for having multiple partners, & you have a recipe for everyone having sex with everyone at will. All animals would either die of STD’s within minutes or our rulers would all be fired.
