2 + 2 = 4.
9 = 6.

"July 23 (Reuters) – The rapidly spreading monkeypox outbreak represents a global health emergency, the World Health Organization’s highest level of alert, WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said on Saturday."
"Members of an expert committee that met on Thursday to discuss the potential recommendation were split on the decision, with nine members against and six in favour of the declaration, prompting Tedros himself to break the deadlock, he told reporters."

Some organizations have different by-laws.  Simple majority not always the decider.  See "fillibuster".

You are in a safe space here (as long as we exclude Jobu from the analysis).

U.S. Leads Globally in Known Monkeypox Cases, CDC Says

Here you go, MN. From the Matt Yglesias email I got today.

It’s a little strange that people who were relatively gung-ho about shutting down schools and bars and restaurants might shy away from that solution. But the gay angle raises the specter of discrimination and stigmatization, so instead many officials opted for obfuscation and a lack of clarity.

Oh, baby Jesus.
I think there may be one obvious way to slow the spread.
I trust Custard won't mind if I quote him.

Problem is we may be beyond those measures. The JJ's of the world are going to be the spreaders.

How's the push for contact tracing going ?

contact tracing

Found this on that topic from a couple years ago: 

 "Contemporary contact tracing in the United States dates back to the early 20th century response to syphilis and later expanded to include other sexually transmitted infections (STIs). Since its origin, contact tracing generated debate about the right to confidentiality of the infected person (i.e., the index case) and the right of the infected person’s partners (i.e., the contact) to be informed about exposure."

I never understood the resentment some displayed over this and masks. To borrow a popular cesspool phrase, it just seems like strange hills to die on.

We have accepted indoor smoking bans, seat belt & helmet laws, no shirts - no shoes - no service, mandatory auto insurance, and other such limits on freedom of choice. Heck, a guy can get on the sex offender registry in some states for taking a leak in an alley.
