"Seven people died during the largest known outbreak, which began in Nigeria in 2017, and at least four of them had a weakened immune system."

It kills people, and seems to have a considerably higher lethality rate than Covid. It also seems VERY hard to spread unless you are in....extremely close contact with an infected person. I have no doubt the news cycle would love to make it the "new thing" so people can rush out and get some new shots. Unlikely though, as the news is already out as to how hard it is to catch, and who is most likely to catch it.

I mean, as a relative of small pox there is always the worry it could mutate into something deadly, but we have a vaccine which typically works on it (the small pox vaccine). Which is a vaccine I've had, but it has almost certainly worn off as it apparently wares off after 50 years and it's been 50 years. Nevertheless, it's just not as big a deal as Covid at all, despite some people here pretending Covid doesn't kill people it's all some big conspiracy focused on US politics worldwide.

It's not as big a deal because the current spread is by European buggery.

Not African, Asian, or American Buggery? Aussie buggery doesn't spread it?
I'm now wondering if there is something special about European buggery.
