Mpox

[a-447]

I thought Mpox had disappeared.

But Western Australia (population 3 million) has recorded 22 cases so far this year, as opposed to 2 in Thailand (population 71.6 million)

I'm OK because I only have 2 regular sex partners and I never visit gay establishments here. But still, it's a real concern.

According to the Director-General of Thailand's Department of Disease Control, 

“Mpox cases continue to be detected, particularly among groups with risk behaviours. The best prevention is to avoid close skin-to-skin contact with people who have symptoms, and to avoid sexual contact with strangers or anyone with a rash or skin lesions that may suggest infection."

Are visitors to Thailand still talking about it, or has everyone moved on?

I've already had the vaccine so I'm not too overly worried.
