It's breaking to the nerve Philippines has now a record of monkey pox. It's learned today during arrival of that passenger in NAIA Airport.He's 31 years old OFW. Why is he allowed to travel? That patient should have not exposed the virus to people. News said the victim has 10 contact passengers to enter Philippines. This virus surely multiplies. That person should be banned to travel and get medication instead to the country of origin. It seems planet earth is full of virus. How do you feel about this monkey pox. It's so contagious. Thanks for reading, sharing is caring. Image credit to Facebook gif

You should be safe. I remember I suffered from chicken pox when I was 14 years and that was horrible. I was isolated for a week.

Our health authorities warned today that this is a mutation from the original monkey pox and more contagious.

@LadyDuck it's scary. It wouldn't have spread. I can't recall the first country where this monkey pox started. How come the virus revived itself. Maybe it's triggered by polluted environment.

It's contagious but its not as deadly as covid. I think we could avoid to be infected if we maintain cleanliness and the safety protocols we have would suffice to protect.

@cacay1 And another thing is that there is already existing medical treatment for that already. It is an old disease that is known already. It just happens to be that it found a way to go out of its original place. I think with proper clean habits we could beat this. What ay be alarming are those in the plane should be monitored since they stayed there together with the patient and could have taken the virus while in transit. Good thing is that it was detected early on and reported to the public too.

@rsa101, it could be deadly if not treated. My fear is on face to face classes where passengers or commuters wouldn't know if sitting beside is with covid or monkey pox. It's worrisome.

@rsa101, that 31 year old guy arrived Philippines from his travel abroad to countries with existing monkey pox. Distancing is a must so also cleanliness. Agree with your opinion.

@yoalldudes eww, right. I experienced chicken pox and it's painful. I had high fever and was isolated. I was grade 5 that time. I was absent more than 1 month reason why I got grade of 79 in grade 5. Then I sat far away from my classmates. My teacher got a karma. After 2 months she was hit by chicken pox

@yoalldudes, yes, true. My teachers didn't give me special quizzes and periodic tests. My father got angry that time. I felt bad of my grade due to chix pox.

I've heard very little about it. I know that there are a few cases in the US but it isn't as big as what they made COVID. There's sickness everywhere and everything is contagious just in different ways. We have to find ways to live with it.

@JordanLader, it should be better for that person not to travel but rather cure the sickness to avoid spreading.

@cacay1 That's common sense though and I'm finding that there's not a lot of that around. I follow that with even a simple cold. Besides who really wants to travel when sick? It's usually miserable.

It is contagious but not dangerous like COVID. In India also there was a case of the monkey virus found a few days back. Yes, that passenger should be isolated to let it spread.

You really have to be careful now. Especially since with Covid, immunity is significantly lowered, so other viruses, including monkey pox, are easy to catch. My kids had chicken pox last year and it was not a nice experience. I hope none of us are affected by this virus.
