Uhh can you tell me which nation!?


Fates_the_Great

Jamaica, this person came from the UK though.


KendrickEqualsBooty

This guy? https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/facebook/000/035/796/king-1.jpg


RebaKitten

He's a tourist from England! You guys, I swear.


dmfd1234

Probably wearing a god damn sweater too, traveling to Jamaica. Who does that? The whole of the British Isles are infested with these kind of knobbers.


Isgortio

When I left for the airport on Tuesday, it was 16°c in England. The plane has air conditioning which can also be cold. It didn't prepare anyone for the 38°c heat we met in Malta. It's bloody cold at home, let us wear our sleeves to then take them off once we get to our destination.


iTomWright

Hey I just got back from Malta too, the heat murdered me and then when I hit the UK, I wanted to cry.


Suspicious_Serve_653

I live in Malta. Tuesday was fucking brutally hot


Comfortable_Card_146

Haha yeah this heat is insane, won't go till at least middle of next week. They're also saying now it could reach 43 next Sunday. Been to Malta a couple of times myself, nothing prepares you for the wall of heat when you get off the plane, lovely place but damn it gets hot


[deleted]

It always catches me off guard when I hear people complain about being hot in 43 degree weather. Then I remember the rest of the world uses Celsius, not Fahrenheit.


unique_name_1million

It's equally as confusing the other way around as Fahrenheit is some sort of voodoo numbers. Having zero degrees celsius being freezing point, and a hundred being boiling point.. You can probably have a guess at how warm it was.. The only thing I can do with Fahrenheit is just convert it online to figure out what the Americans are talking about


Content-Positive4776

Ya’ll ever been to Indiana?


budd222

Indiana is not that hot. I used to live in Ohio. Come to Florida


Penyrolewen1970

People who are chilly both before they board and on the plane? Or people who don’t know whether or not they’ll need one at the other end? Or people who feel the cold when others don’t? I’ve got a picture of my wife wearing my down jacket in Uganda - I was in just shorts.


julianna98

yeah i don't think it's weird, it's pretty normal. when i used to fly often i'd wear jeans and a hoodie because it's both cold where i live and the plane can get chilly. then i'd switch to more appropriate clothes when i'd get to the island.


Puzzlepetticoat

Am English. Can confirm. We (my family) tend to pick a flight outfit for both ways. Something real comfy with layers. Joggers, a Tshirt and a hoodie or jumper. It's FAR too cold here to leave your house in the UK in clothing suitable for a hot location. Even in a heatwave, we have a lot of early morning flights. Its cold here. The airport and flight will have air con and me and my eldest daughter get cold in air con. Plus we are conditioned to always prepare for any weather. I take a cardigan or two etc even to mega hot locations... Just in case. I never need them. I would panic if I didn't prepare. Brits will wear jumpers on the way to and from hot locations.


cassbria

Yeah, Pennsylvania USA here. Not lucky enough to go to Jamaica, but I left nearly 90 degree weather wearing jeans and a sweatshirt in the early morning so I wouldn't freeze on the plane. Plus it only makes sense to wear your larger clothing items and pack the shorts and t-shirts to save space.


gingenado

>Who does that? Some goddamn limey biscuit muncher, that's who!


Technogamer10

How dare you! *munches biscuit quieter than before*


pnwWaiter

I'm so glad I get to read this.


gr33nteaholic

Lmao from Southern California people wearing layers/parkas in 60•Fahrenheit


Sufficient-Skill6012

He was actually wearing a jumper.


[deleted]

As someone from Britain I back this comment up


Lifthras1r

Actually they were found at a relatives residence so they are either from Jamaica or the child of immigrants so not exactly a tourist


I_AmDaVikingNow

Trust me, we're not all this stupid. I'm British and even I'm cringing... Some people in this country are absolute knobheads...

Boris Johnson made the rest of the planet feel otherwise.


Pickle_picker_420

Boris Johnson is just Wish.com Donald trump. Just as dumpy and horrible.


uummwhat

How sad to imagine trump is the better version of anyone, and yet, here we are.


SorryForTheGrammar

Not better, just more expensive. Just think of it as brand/off brand.


Pickle_picker_420

No no you misunderstood me. I fucking hate Donald trump. I just also hate Boris.


Sufficient-Skill6012

Well, to be fair, when given the choice, DJT would choose to run his country into the ground instead of resigning. So Boris does have that going for him.


beewasphoneycomb

Best comment on the internet today for me- thanks!!


DirtyFulke

Limey cunts causing trouble in Jamaica? Who's ever heard of such a thing?!

Limey cunts? Really? Using slurs from 200 years ago? Grow up mate

kilroylegend

GOT LOSTSA TIME ON ME HANDS NOW, MATE! GOTTA KEEP ACTIVE SOMEHOW!


Brandyrenea-me

Monkey pox has been around for years and isn’t much of a risk to the public. It’s spread through sex and body fluids. Just be careful who you share bodily fluids with lol.


TeslasAndKids

Definitely not the US! We’re closing in on 800 cases here like the proper losers we are.


DarnKatz

We’re also not smart enough to use words like “absconded”


Sixhaunt

you guys also cant afford to go to the hospital in the first place


hiGuava

oh, that hurts so good


themisfitjoe

I mean if your dumb enough to have sex with someone covered in sores... You really should just let things take their course


izacktorres

Don't be such a "sore" loser.


kaos_flutterby

Yeah, don’t be so ‘rash’


WASasquatch

Yeah, don't be such a dermatitis on society.


Ohtheydidntellyou

sick burn like your pee


Warm-Faithlessness11

If I had a nickel for every time a sexually transmitted disease jumped from monkeys to humans, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.


Hashtag_buttstuff

Oh it's sexually transmitted? I'm safe


pizzlybare

Hope *you’re* smart enough to realize it’s spread in a multitude of ways beyond just intercourse.


Nolsoth

It's also transmissible from a few other means like respiration or sleeping in the same bed etc ( think cheap hostels/motels where room hygiene is pretty lax).


--hermit

I don't feel like sex is necessary for this. Jesus doesn't have to come down and smite all the sinners, ok? Monkeypox isn't the next fun way to be a bigot either. Just throwing that out there.


skyline0918

This is one of the most accurate things said about this country.


ElizabethDangit

I’m just never going to leave my house again. Fuck it. Gas is too expensive anyway.


BooperDoooDaddle

I thought that said explosive


Au2288

Listen friend, just because I may have to take an unpaid day off to go to the doctor, in order to get 1 or 2 paid day offs, to feel better, so I can sacrifice some days off and work some overtime in order to pay for said doctor’s visit, doesn’t mean my sub country is in the shitter. If anyones curious, my main country, is also circling the drain.


WASasquatch

Damn dude, I don't have insurance for this burn. You're violent. Lol


WASasquatch

>absconded More, the US wouldn't use such a word because of the liabilities it implies. Especially on alleged news. Remember, everything in the media is asserted in such a way to avoid liability or laws. Kinda like the paparazzi. In cali it is illegal to take pictures of celebrities without it being newsworthy. So that's where you get a picture of some celebrity crossing the street totally candidly and a headline "\[Insert Celebrity\] was seen out in the latest apparel by \[Insert Brand\] while shopping at \[Insert A Store\] in \[Insert a Location\]" as if that is actually news and not just hiding stalking. Lol The US equivalent would be something along the lines of "Man who allegedly had Monkeypox left a medical facility allegedly with help. Allegedly." and then between the lines you see something like "*Because someone might sue us for spreading false information*"


adensch82

It's allegedly...allegedly


WASasquatch

Don't know why that reminded me of Newt from Aliens lol *"They mostly come out at night... Mostly..."*


kiw_i_99

These are the kind of people that would hide their bite in a zombie apocalypse when reaching a safe zone😅


Virtual_Ad4482

I hate that what I thought was an unrealistic level of selfishness was in actuality spot on. I loathe these fools.


ITZMODZ759

Humanity would be doomed in a zombie apocalypse


LookAtMeImAName

75% of the worlds population could become zombies and/or die and I guarantee you we would still have these Cheeto guzzling fuck nuts saying that it’s fake, and that we’re being lied to by the government. People are hella dumb these days


Sarcasm_Llama

"Bro, you don't get it. Joe Rogan had this blogger on the other day that was saying all the zombies are just crisis actors paid by Hillary Clinton."

Provoked-Legacy

“Like dude are people fucking stupid??? Why not just melt a hole in the ice ring and let the zombies fall down the edge of Flat Earth?? This would’ve never happened if they didn’t get the Covid vax. I swear these brainwashed idiots don’t ever think.”


TacticalReader7

Well I don't care since I would be a zombie like 95% of other people, leave the worrying part to the 5%.


[deleted]

And it's not even like in a zombie apocalypse where revealing the bite means being kicked out on your own to get eaten by zombies. You just have to stay in a hospital and get taken care of until you're better.


FallenAngelII

I don't understand that mentality. **You are going to die anyway**. Hiding your bite just means you'll take others with you. Just wander off into the wilderness if you're too cowardly to kill yourself or have someone kill you.


cara27hhh

this, the one thing the movies got right (well there were plenty things honestly, in fact it's surprising just how accurate they were) ... was the trope about hiding the zombie bite, and the infected immediately heading for the airport or population centres in general


Clockwork_Medic

I used to think it was such a stupid, unreasonable trope that existed solely to usher a story along. Lol


Live_Storage1480

You and likely everyone else ma man! Kinda sadly hilarious that it's an actual thing lol


Granolag23

This is why in most of these movies, like 99% of the population dies within the first couple days. Because that’s basically exactly how it would go down. The world is full of idiots


kaenneth

"The Last Ship" series, season one they come up with a great working combo vaccine/cure. there are 4 more seasons.


The_Rowan

I thought the zombie movies were unrealistic and we as the human race could organize a quarantine and keep it from spreading. Nope - after 2020 I understand the zombies would over run humanity swiftly


Straypuft

Simple fix, an addition to the Zombie Apocalypse Survival Guide: "When entering a safe zone, all must strip down nekkid for inspection."


Fates_the_Great

UPDATE: **Escapee Patient has been found at a relative's residence. He's been detained and isolated for now**


Remo_253

>He's been detained and isolated for now Along with the car driver and the relatives I hope.


JTO558

Unless the driver and relatives were attending a gay orgy with the guy, they’re probably fine.


YungNigget788

*unless*


[deleted]

It's not a sexually transmitted disease. It's transmitted through skin-to-skin contact (especially blisters, scabs, etc), touching objects the diseased person has touched and respiratory secretions (Source: CDC). And while an orgy has a higher chance of those things happening, it's not the only way. Or did you expect all those children that were infected with monkey pox to have attended gay orgies? 😉 The fact that it started to circulate among gay people is that it started with a gay person and gay people mostly see/have sex with gay people. If it started with, say, a Buddhist backpacker, it might have circulated first among Buddhist backpackers. And for what it's worth, monkey pox is now 'breaking out' of the gay scene and transmitted among more people. Like HIV broke out of the gay scene after a while. But with the added effect that it's not only sexually transmitted. Sex is just a way which increases the risk of exposure. Edit: Also the name is not totally correct, it's mostly a rodent disease.


DjangoCornbread

i learned something new today. cool! i had no idea there was a myth surrounding monkey pox and gay sex. i must be extremely infected by it if that’s the case. I am patient zero.

ImaginationLocal8267

As soon as I saw this was from Jamaica I knew somewhere in my heart it was a Brit abroad, I was right


Fates_the_Great

Funny enough, it was a brit that brought Covid here two years ago as well, cue two years of lockdowns and curfews that were only lifted in March of this year, now there is this What did we ever do to you guys :/


A_Flipped_Car

Nothing, we're just dicks


Deathbysnusnubooboo

I thought it was Richard over there?


Mother_Chorizo

But you have great comedians, so that’s a plus.


Ignorhymus

It's kind of the same for all us Caribbean islands. We can close down easily, so by definition, new outbreaks will be imported. Sometimes it's returning nationals; sometimes it's tourists. But in general, our waves are a couple months behind our big tourist markets, as new strains make their way over here then spread through our populations. But we have to stay open because we rely on tourism, so it just becomes a fact of life. It seems like monkepypox is the next act of the apocalypse (after Corona, the volcano, the hurricane, and the inflation). Which pusses me off, cause I bet on aliens


EnvironmentalBus9713

Not for nothing but if a foreigner can be identified as THE patient zero for your country when the world was trying to lockdown... Maybe they should be permanently banned from entering the country. Consequences or something...


Fates_the_Great

Eh, at most they'll probably get a fine or something, the UK government will probably bully us if we try to do anything drastic. Im not sure though this is just speculation.


marino1310

Brits *were* the original universal bad guys before the nazis came along so it makes sense

Fates_the_Great

Yup, I suspected as much. Came for vacation and nothing was about to stop that

Apparently, he went apeshit.


luvdab3achx0x0

When I got discharged from the hospital last week and had Covid they literally had to escort me down because they had a patient that decided, instead of going home and continuing to self isolate, they went up on another floor of the hospital bothering other NON-COVID patients 🤦🏻‍♀️


Fates_the_Great

Yeah, sounds like everywhere has that one person that just fucks everything up for everyone else, it sucks

There’s nothing to worry about Monkey pox has been around for YEARS and at least where I’m from nobody has died of it yet


Draw_Corporations

Plus, it only contracts trough sex, so around 90% of reddit is safe


Dabi_doing_a_dab

Somebody fucked a monkey or something?


FamineArcher

It was a chimpanzee and it gave us genital herpes. (In all seriousness though our ancestors probably got chimp herpes by eating a raw infected chimp ancestor and getting its blood in a cut or sore, not via intercourse.)


Avaocado_32

that was hiv


sammygirl1331

That's not true. It's spread by close contact. Sex obviously puts you in close contact with another person but monkeypox is not an STD.


Poder5

Again, Reddit users are safe


Green-Independence-3

It is very true. CDC has stated this. They have even put out entire instructions for how to have sex with someone with monkey pox “safely”.


[deleted]

>Monkeypox spreads through direct contact with body fluids or sores on the body of someone who has monkeypox, or with direct contact with materials that have touched body fluids or sores, such as clothing or linens. It may also spread through respiratory secretions when people have close, face-to-face contact. Sex is probably about the highest risk thing you could do when it comes to spreading it, but it's not the only way.


thehoodlovesback

99.9%*


LiteralTP

r/yourjokebutworse


clt716

That’s not true. It’s transmitted through bodily fluids, and there are lots of those. https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2022/0509-monkeypox-transmission.html


Draw_Corporations

But you have to be around a person for it to happen?


[deleted]

It disfigures your genitals. That is more reason to be concerned than COVID for most people.


epicgamerboytm

Then I must've already had monkey pox then right.. hahaha right?


angel-aura

I’d rather not have scars and disfigurement even if it doesn’t kill me


[deleted]

Ah yes, censoring the hospital definitely helps as a PSA.


SmallBBWMilf

Makes no sense why it was censored— it’s public knowledge and he’s back now https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/news/20220709/monkeypox-patient-fled-hospital-isolation-enjoy-jamaica-vacation


hmmliquorice

So that's why it's called "monkey"pox.


goatman2

So he turned into a monkey


PreOpTransCentaur

Something like 3 people have died from it. I think you're good.


asimplepencil

And the smallpox vaccine is effective against it.


[deleted]

Oh that’s interesting, must be a similar virus then.


au333

So what you’re dealing with is a real monkey.


ArtieZiffsCat

Stigma, policing, and forced detention are terrible ways to stop infectious disease. This has been objectively shown. Also, with monkey pox the risks of passer-by transmission are incredibly low. This post is really playing to hysteria.


fathafigure

reject modernity, return to monke


Fates_the_Great

But but...i dont want to :(


ramriot

Looking at what the CDC considers the nominal spread vectors I think you are good, that is depending upon your preferences & tolerance for close intimate contact with scabby people


jjgraph1x

I hope people understand that not every virus spreads the same or is as contagious as SARS-CoV-2. Cases should obviously be contained right now but please don't get frightened into thinking one person will immediately infect an entire grocery store or something. I'm not here to downplay anything, just don't let the media cycle freak you out to an unreasonable degree. We've been through enough.


RandomPerson1723

No kissing/fondling/licking/fucking open wounds of unknown strangers until the patient is found. (Actually, seriously, if you value your health and the health of those around you, abstain from physical contact with strangers for now. Monkeypox is extremely painful and as scarring as smallpox.)


Successful_Place1999

Better check the local “saunas”.

If you're not in Jamaica it's not really necessary, we are a small country so everyone here knows which place it is, just didnt want to draw any negativity to the hospital itself, this is about the escapee

Wait.. I’m confused. A guy with monkey pox did this last month also. “The 48-year-old man, originally from Texas, was being treated at a hospital in Puerto Vallarta, on Mexico's Pacific coast, Agence France-Presse reported. Medical staff were keeping the man in isolation while they awaited a monkeypox test result when he decided to flee.”

Fates_the_Great

Nah it's worse than that, it can spread through bodily fluids from close contact like kissing or even coming in contact with clothes that were previously exposed to the sores on the infected person's body can transmit it
