Depends on how the monkeys in power react to it.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
I keep thinking the title says moneybox
Has the church called it "proof" yet?
Because it is politically incorrect to assume that a man wants to be identified as gay or bisexual, just because he has sex with another man.What's the point in that last line?
You know it serious when we have to ban conspiracy theories from the thread.
My bad, didn't even notice the elvis bit.Bloody hell read the context
No worriesMy bad, didn't even notice the elvis bit.
it is very funny to see people tiptoeing around the fact of its transmission. I can only imagine if this thing was only being transferred at gun ranges in the southern USA
"It's the virus that kills, not the man deliberately spreading it"
Nice one way to crowbar in getting offended you miserable snowflake.
I'll give the same advice I got when I had chickenpox - should have worn a condom.

But I am offended
No pedofile or rape jokes, should go without saying but I know what some of you are like.
Just like HIV and ebola, transmission from primates to humans probably happened through the butchering of bush meat.
So not much different from the way chickenpox, swine flu, covid or just about any other major disease in the world first infected humans. All it takes is a nick on your hand while you're cutting up the animal, and pathogen is in your bloodstream.
The imagery of monkey fecking is just a funny punchline. But it's about as likely as the idea that Mad Cow Disease came from people having sex with cows.

Is it only gay or bisexual men that have caught this? Or is that how its circulating here in the UK?
“Gay, bisexual, or men who have sex with men”
what is that last clause for? Pansexuals? Couldn’t/Shouldn’t they just have said “‘men who have sex with men” since it can cover gay and bisexual men anyway?
Didn't you know that only gay people produce large respiratory droplets?
Do your research sheeple.
Gay people and southern gun enthusiasts
Are the people who have it sick? As in feeling bad, or are the just diagnosed as carrying it?
Feeling bad. Rashes, fever, aches, headache, chills
If you’re not gay or similar don’t need to worry about it
I think it's only in the UK it's been transferred that way.
Anyway, we already have treatments and vaccines for very similar diseases so this one doesn't worry me much.
If it's airborne/droplet based then why are numbers so low?
Yeah, it’s badly worded. Unless they’re adding in gay/bisexual to include women? Which they almost certainly aren’t.
There are men who have sex with men who don't identify as gay or bisexual. Then there are male prostitutes or male porn stars who have sex with men but don't necessarily have to be gay, for example.
The point being they didn’t need to use the words “gay or bisexual”. Just say “men who have sex with men” and be done with it.
Maybe they we're wary of trans men feeling excluded by that. No idea, it's a pretty weird statement either way
Oh right, yes I see. I hadn't read the previous post closely enough.
Gay and bisexual also covers women. And I guess straight men can still have sex with men even if they’re not gay? Dunno
So it comes from rats and rodents and has made the jump to humans. I wonder how....

Why it's not called ratpox then?So it comes from rats and rodents and has made the jump to humans. I wonder how....
Dunno, probably already one or something.
Apparently first isolated in the lab in monkeys.

Did they inject it into the monkey though? If so that's cheating a bit cos the monkeys aren't really to blame. Also that way they could give try and make diseases sound more terrifying by injecting it into cobras or scorpions and isolating it in them.
See I thought this, but I feel their wording does the opposite, as it does not include trans women who have sex with cis men…right? As for then saying “men who have sex with men” don’t we then open it up to trans men having sex with cis men? And then should the wording not be “people having unprotected sex” since that is really the action they’re concerned about (I think, not a doctor). But it seems like they’re targeting men as @Pogue Mahone said, so it’s odd.
You might be onto something.I assume they injected it into the monkey, yes. Probably unethical to infect them in the same way it’s being currently passed amongst humans.
Could we please have 5 or 6 boring years on the viral front?
Fecking ravers. With their repetitive beats and their zoonotic virus superspreader events…
