Well it all started by renaming the Wuhah flu(aka kung flu) to COVID 19..
We wouldn't want to offend the Chinese.

Now.
Monkeypox will be referred to as Mpox...

"The World Health Organization is planning to rename monkeypox, designating it as “MPOX” in an effort to destigmatize the virus that gained a foothold in the U.S. earlier this year, three people with knowledge of the matter told POLITICO."

Boy, I feel much safer now..

So,"According to the report, Biden administration believes that the name "monkeypox" carries an unnecessary stigma for people of color." Is the Biden administration implying that people of color are monkeys? That's seems to be racially insensitive.

Would it be better to name it the gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men pox?

The world is like some strange Lord of the flies type scenario where the kids have taken over , except there’s no desert island, no conch and the adults are acting like kids too.

Just like Kung Flu which is perfect by the way.

Monkey Pox should be renamed to what it is. ButtPox.

I still would like to know how children and a dog got it.

I bet the true answer, which we will never get is a sign of a disease in the soul

I don't know anymore.
We use words that people believe for some reason cushion the blow.

Plus size...
Little person..
Special..

I guess instead of being dead we could call it lacking life...
You're still dead but, well yeah...

If I recall correctly, prolonged and pressing skin contact with an infected person.

I remember years ago when the precious ones were trying this bull on, we asked how will they cope when they get older and have to deal with real life. I guess now we know.

Does chickenpox come from chickens?

Or do we need to call it Cpox?
