There is a current outbreak of Monkey Pox among this demographic. It started at a large gay festival in Spain. Hmmm. How many partners and what is the average? The law of the jungle arrived in Europe. And now the epidemiological brachiation has made it to the U.S. and into the demographic of the innocent. Two children now have monkey pox. And that makes me damn angry.
US records first two CHILD monkeypox cases: California toddler and an infant in D.C. were likely infected by 'household contacts' and both had contact with gay or bisexual men, CDC chief says
One is a toddler in California while the other infant is not a US resident and was 'transiting through' Washington D.C., officials said
Both children are 'doing well' and likely were infected by 'household contacts'
Dr Rochelle Walensky said they had contact with gay or bisexual men
It was not clear when they caught the virus, or what symptoms they had
This is the first time the virus has been detected among children in the US Children under the age of eight are at high risk of severe monkeypox
A boy under 10 years old has also tested positive for the virus in the Netherlands
From CNBC:
Monkeypox outbreak is primarily spreading through sex, WHO officials sayHopefully this has nothing to do with how the children became infected.
It can also be spread through skin on skin contact.
