@Baz posted:Just seen a news bulletin ....there are now 20 cases of monkey pox in uk ....with more cases not only in Europe , but in the US and Canada .....and the government is ordering smallpox vaccine…..I hope I’m overreacting , but this is sounding eerily familiar !
WHO is apparently convening an emergency meeting to discuss the spread ….let’s hope they are overreacting as well .
It's an ugly looking disease that's for sure

Yes, it is Slim…..and so many of the things they’ve been saying …eg downplaying it initially , but gradually seeing it increase ….seem to be mirroring the early days of covid .
Monkey pox aside . . . urghh, are we becoming the vermin we so ruthlessly exterminate?
I called our GP to get a 'call-back' appointment over the phone and was told I was too late as all the appointments had gone due to "so many of the doctors being off sick".
Quite alarming when you think about it
