DJ, please do not take ideas/views on this forum personally...
-If someone thinks "non christians" or "non-muslims" deserve to burn in hell forever-it is a view...If "praying solves any problem" maybe pray on the forum ! I may ignore it-that is my right ! -Some people believe in the death penalty...They have a right to believe in it...I have a right to disagree ! -The idea of this forum is "pandemic watch"....so diseases + background...Very wide...but may exclude sports...I may add music as a counterbalance...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJT5nGj1rJk&t=605s or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJT5nGj1rJk&t=605s ;

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpox#Nomenclature or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mpox#Nomenclature ; The name monkeypox was originally coined because the disease was first identified in laboratory monkeys.[3] This was subsequently criticised as a misnomer, because monkeys are not the main host or reservoir. It was also criticized because the name reinforced stigma about African countries as a source of disease.[16]
After requests by a number of public health organisations and scientists, who argued that these issues were harming the fight to contain the disease outbreak,[17] the subtypes of monkeypox virus were renamed clade I and clade II in August 2022. The World Health Organization announced in November 2022 that it "will adopt the term mpox in its communications, and encourages others to follow these recommendations".[6] DJ, It would be more than welcome to see the 'term" "monkeypox" banned...

Should there be room for "politics" on this forum?
YES; -How governments deal with problems is "politics". The CoViD pandemic was an outcome of terrible politics... NO; -It can destroy the forum...distract on where the focus may need to be; "pandemic watch"... DJ-I want to balance these two views...Most of the "politics" I post are from medical tweets...People dealing with healthissues frustrated on politics. The "CoViD is over" campain-saving the economy-during the pandemic still ongoing is another example of politics turning a healthissue into another pandemic CoViD wave... Mpox is NOT over-just out of the news...H5N1 is very widespread in mammals worldwide... The underlying problem is climate collapse. Pandemics as part of the sixth mass extinction...and "politics" worsening problems by wasting trillions on wars... Without World War One very likely the Spanish H1N1 flu would not have become the pandemic killing maybe 2-5% of the global population...Older pandemics may have had an even higher CFR-maybe killing 50%+ of a population... So-in my view-pandemics are very related to the background-including "politics"! Respect has to be the basis for any forum (or any democracy) ! A forum is a marketplace of opinions...lots of different opinions on a "healthy forum"... We are supposed to have different backgrounds and for that reason different views...There is not such a thing as a "100% correct view"... On lots of other forums there is the same question on "limits"...so for "Pandemic Watch" it is NOT unique... It ain't what you say-it's the way that you say it....https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_kjctTbMHA or https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_kjctTbMHA ;

DJ...I am on this "forum" trying to make sense...
-We are on the eve of wars on a scale not seen since 1945 -Climate disaster has "Debby" moving from sea-to-land several times...may bring extensive damage for over a week to the North America Atlantic region from Florida into Canada...unseen ! -CoViD should be a known pandemic-just like HIV-AIDS (still) is a pandemic...The WHO may again go for M-pox as a Public Healt Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) like they did in 2022...But "out of the news" is "no PHEIC"... -H5N1 showing up in both the US and Cambodia/SE Asia...People 50+y/o may have had a type of flu that may offer some protection...But even CoViD tests are running out... -Masks are criminalized...Olympics making lots of people ill/sick... Lots of things to discuss but hardly anyone else on this forum ? I feel like the "fool on the hill" from the Beatles song...still shocking tough...The world turned into a global sinking Titanic and hardly anyone cares...

I guess the forum will take time to grow. Keep an eye on the number of views on the threads, they are steadily growing. |

It just happened once-(so far) ...Maybe for safety there is a maximum posts per member per month ? Could be a glitch...(if new members want to post a point and get such a message it can damage/limit the forum...).

I've only just got back in myself, I couldn't get in for a couple of days. The site location has changed and is at mpoxforum.com I think you were automatically redirected there, hence you had to log back in. I wasn't. So I've just found it and logged in and all's good. It's all just teething problems.
