Poxy McPoxface?

It appears that the World Health Organization is looking to rename monkeypox.

My suggestion is above.  You can put yours in the comments:

The World Health Organization says it is working with experts to come up with a new name for monkeypox.

It comes after more than 30 scientists wrote last week about the "urgent need for a non-discriminatory and non-stigmatising" name for the virus and the disease it causes.

Continued reference to the virus as African is both inaccurate and discriminatory, they said.

Also Steve.  Steve would be good.

I beg your pardon.

Steve, not Stephen. It's a reference to Over the Hedge. It's what the animals call the hedge in the movie.

Oddly enough, I did know the reference.

BTW, how does your logic tie in with the grow of Monkey Pox in Europe?

Matthew Saroff said...

Is any logic at all to naming Monkey Pox "Poxy McPoxface"?

I think not.

Actually the comment was meant for your other Monkey Pox post: I Said This Months Ago

Europe is not doing much better.
