Cornettoninja PracticingPerson Grin I think it would turn distressing very quickly! Given that Twitter users managed to turn an AI racist within a matter of hours, a mumsnet AI would probably turn into something fumming and shaking about masks but simultaneously not enough masks, and also lazy men, an inappropriately sized chicken for the required meals, then end up screeching “cube of poo! Your minge! It all went wrong after penis beaker!” before imploding and taking down the entire internet with it.

Don't think mpox is airborne, need quite a lot of contact to get it

Timeforabiscuit · 10/06/2021 20:59

If a mumsnet AI could generate and resolve a legitimate boundary dispute thread, with diagram, nesting birds and tree protection order in place - I believe that's noble prize territory.

But on Monkey Pox, if I can't simulate human extinction on plague Inc, then I'm not bothered frankly.

Roughly 40 trillion bacteria in the human body. 40 trillion

And a similar estimate for viruses.

Please don't take Trump's advice. Do not drink bleach!

Blimey better get down the shops for your non essentials before they start taping off the aisles.

Can I start the monkeypox hysteria questions?
My period is due and I have a big plook on my chin, do you think it could be monkeypox/will I have to isolate/should I ring NHS 24?
🙊😜

Monkeypox is not a serious illness

It will be now the media's got hold of it Grin

Remember 2018 Grin

”Professor Anne Rimoin, an epidemiologist at the University of California, Los Angeles, warns that despite being a 'stable' DNA virus, it is possible over time that monkeypox may be mutating into more contagious versions. However, nothing about this current outbreak suggests that this is the case.

Chillingly, an investigation she co-authored in the journal Emerging Infectious Diseases warns that monkeypox 'is adapting for efficient replication in a novel ecological niche — humans'. 'The global effects of the emergence of monkeypox strains that are highly adapted to humans could be devastating,' the report adds.”

i didn't even know that there were wild monkeys in north wales.
things have changed a lot since i was young.
i must try to keep up.

RickiTarr · 11/06/2021 03:01

Isn’t there a weird corner of FB where you can hang out with other tinfoil hatters?

alexdgr8 · 11/06/2021 03:07

didn't h.i.v. start with monkeys. from someone eating them ?
i don;t know, but let's avoid exotic meats, at least.
probably best to avoid meat if possible. cut down anyway.
and definitely keep away from the wild monkeys of north wales.
are they a breeding pair ???
will it be like the rabbits in australia. a monkey fence near chester ?
think i need to go to bed.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 11/06/2021 11:12

Loving the Daily Fail article, Terzani - it even has a suitable picture of a savage monkey Grin

Viviennemary · 11/06/2021 11:14

Monkey pox I think. Anyway it looks horrific. Two photos of it came up at random the other day.

Mareofwesttown · 11/06/2021 11:18

bombis

We are now as far as delta or maybe even further but there is long way to omega. All sorts of variants can come along.“

No doubt they will. Expect the brilliant vaccines will deal with them effectively, too.

Aren’t you a ray of sunshine 🙄

@Remmy123

Move this in the monkey pox section
Grin
justanotherneighinparadise · 11/06/2021 11:23

@bombis

I am not moving this post anywhere. Coronavirus should be changed to End of the word section.
Now I like that!! We can pop the Preppers board in there too.
bombis · 11/06/2021 14:35

Tjete isgoing to be so many viruses that we don't know what to do when we are covered in gangrene. Monkeypoxes and deltas betas and omegas.
