Why can't people skip articles they are not interested in, instead of trying to be the FR "Nazi police"?

This particular one talks about CANADA being concerned about monkeypox, another had news that the number of cases increased to 48 now.

These are all NEW news items appearing in legitimate news sources.

Just because some people would like to suppress some legitimate news, doesn't mean that others should be prevented from posting or discussing it.

Just as the SARS outbreak was followed in the news media, so is this. We don't make up the news item, we post them and discuss them.

They are all the same news with only slight differences, they could all be placed in one daily thread instead of people posting a new version of the same story every few hours. Right now a slightly different version comes out in the news about every 30 minutes. The subject is important and worth reading, but is not worth a new thread being started every few hours when new slightly different releases can be added to the first thread of the day and can continue on for that day. Why cannot you stay on one thread about monkeypox to get your opinion across, is it because some people are down playing your over concern about this and your need to start yet another new thread after the old one barely reaches 50 replies?

Please do post the new releases on the first thread of the day. I read what you have to share.

NBC Channel 5 TV in Chicago just ran a piece about a 17 year old boy in Warrenville who is infected with monkeypox. His face and body was covered with pustules, just like the African boy in the picture you posted. He said he had lesions in his nose and throat which made it hard to breathe. During the interview he called for paramedics; he was transported to the hospital in a mask and body gown.
