Many friends I know are so worked up into a state of anxiety over first the Coronavirus now the Monkey Pox virus that they are suffering from bad panic attacks. Have we ever known times like these ? 

I think that there are times in a lot of people’s lives when they can’t see the wood for the trees.

There always is and always has been plenty of things that cause anxiety,some real but a lot more that is imagined.

I think in around ten years time we will all be saying “ Can you remember when the Coronavirus and Monkey Pox virus were rife ?

Hmmm...

Well if we'll ALL be saying it, then I can't see there's too much for any of us to worry about!

Monkeypox rife?

It is not new having been isolated and identified in the 1950s.

Monkeypox is transmitted by direct contact and the current cases are suspected to be associated with close physical  human-to-human contact.

Its biology is very different to that of coronaviruses and does not kill.

 

The American Far-Right have not yet jumped on the bandwagon and have not yet provided our resident Conspiracy Theorists with anything to copy. As evidenced by their ridiculous attempts so far.

strangely enough isolating people and stopping air travel helped stop it

It was beaten by a combination of hand washing, distancing, mask wearing, school closures and tracking and tracing.
