Has anyone died from this yet? If so, I’d imagine the death rate is rather low

From just this most recent worldwide outbreak that's hit a lot of non-endemic countries?  5 people

They’re right that it’s spreading at a rate that is problematic per their protocols.  That doesn’t mean that we have to be particularly concerned about it.  Extremely low mortality and difficult to catch.  Add it to the list of things you *could catch* if you’re sexually active with different partners.  Look that’s part of the deal if you do this.  That’s not new.   Especially if you’re a gay man.  It is what it is.  No reason to be mad at disease control watch dogs for sounding the alarm.

Let's be careful about not reverse jinxing this pandemic like we did with the first few pages of the COVID thread.

Another thing notable is that the first cases of it in children here were identified yesterday

I wanted to defuse it before cals/KC thought they were all clever.

MMC should changed the thread title to “Homo African Virus as stated by Taylor”

Until we have Blarg making fun of FS, the jinx can’t happen.  

Odd FS isn’t all over this one.

It started around Niger or Nigeria. You’re no where near my level of clever

I wonder if there was a spike in cases after the pride parades?

Glad the CDC gave guidance of keep having sex, but wear layers, instead of don't have sex because there is a rapidly spreading std going around the gay community.
