And since we know conservatives are plague rats who refuse to do a goddamned thing to prevent the spread of a disease, we can expect Idahoans to do everything in their power to share it with Washington and Oregon.
Conservatives are the real plague... Long overdue for a cure.
>mpox
If they had to rename it from monkey pox, why not go full scientific like COVID-19 (SARS CoV-2)? Mpox sounds like a post-ironic fedora core punk band.
Mpox is not a great name. The virus is called the monkey pox virus so that's no good but the virus is also called MPV, MPXV, or hMPXV and those are okay. I think we should go with simian plague.
Ah man, I feel like I'm coming down with a video format
Simian Plague sounds like either a description of Planet of the Apes or a metal band.
Coming up next on the headbanger's ball, SIMIAN PLAGUE!
"DO YOU APES WANT TO LIVE FOREVER?!?"
power metal ensues
Sounds like a Vulcan name Spock , tuvoc, tpal, mpox.
Because they want to prepare us gradually : you see, it began with SmallPox (spox), now mpox ... later it will be BigPox and then HugePox !
LPox, XLPox, XXLPox, 3XLPox, 4XLPox, 5XLPox
The disease is caused by the monkeypox virus,[a] a zoonotic virus in the genus Orthopoxvirus. The variola virus, the causative agent of the disease smallpox, is also in this genus. Human-to-human transmission can occur through direct contact with infected skin or body fluids, including sexual contact.

including sexual contact
I mean, are we at risk of anyone at all fucking someone from Idaho? It's the world capital of potato-brained conservatives. No one on earth wants any of that gravy.
The Mormon church is currently joining a long list of other religions taking advantage of people in Africa. The source likely some teenager coming back from their "mission" early.
They send home a steady stream of missionaries for fucking everything that moves. They even have a standard procedure of covering up the illegal assaults they do.
I just looked up the Mormon population of Idaho on worldatlas.com and holy shitballs that's a lot of Mormons!
From the site:
The number of Mormons is approximately 444,614 people which translates to 26.42% of the total population.
Now do Utah!
I tried, but it broke the Mormonometer.
God damn it Randy, I told you to put that pangolin down!
