“Health officials in Massachusetts have detected a monkeypox infection in a man who has recently returned from Canada.
Its Department of Health said the individual was hospitalized, but in a 'good condition'. They are now tracing his close contacts.
It is the first confirmed infection with the virus in the U.S. this year, and comes a day after CDC officials said they were monitoring six potential cases…”
Didn’t the last monkeypox come from Canada? Patient Zero?

I caught the bird flu back in about 2014. Very inconvenient, very embarrassing. No matter where I parked my car, before I could get across the parking lot I had to stop and crap on someone's windshield.

Call it T-Rex pox. I don't give a damn, I'm done with all this ridiculous BS.
And all sigmonkey needs is a nice bunch of bananas and he'll be back in fighting form in no time.
