Well, it became an epidemic. Just saying.
The monkeypox supposedly can spread though sexual contact, which is the novel part of this one, but it will also spread through bites, scratches, contact with bodily fluids, and sneezing. So it has the potential to be pretty bad if it's spreading like it is.
anything can be passed thru sexual contact, back in the 80's i got a bad cold that turned into pneumonia from having sex with what became the mother of my children. I was in the hospital for 5 days. sex didnt give me pneumonia, it was the bad cold and 2 21 year old horny kids that did it.
monkey pox is not only passed thru sex, it's passed thru droplets, like you said. said it passed thru sex, while true it doesnt mean it's the only way or the main way. anymore than aids is only passed thru sex, back then, it was passed thru blood transfusions or contact with blood from somebody that was positive. lots of first responders got hiv by coming in contact with somebody that was positive and bleeding.
