[Constantine]

You know the pandemic is over when Rentmen deletes COVID status from all escort profiles. They have also deleted the line for monkeypox status.

Yes, indeed.  I am traveling to the West Coast next week. My firm utilize a travel agent that provides travel alerts as part of travel preparations. They sent me a note this afternoon notifying me that there has been an uptick in Monkeypox cases in CA during the past month. 😳

I just looked at my profile and the option to show both Covid and MP status is still there. The default display is 'do not show'.

I also just looked and the only option is HIV status. Wonder if they removed it in the US but kept it elsewhere.

I have no idea where that travel agent came up with that. The California Department of Public Health hasn't noted any cases in California in 2 months:

Note that these data include not just confirmed, but probable cases as well:

I agree. It makes little sense. Here is a screenshot of the alert.

I'm good with them removing the options. Both the provider and client can always state their covid and monkeypox statuses in their ad text. And it's definitely not an off limits question to ask a provider if you wanted to.

This is a reminder that I need to get my second MP shot.  I hadn't heard this news 'til now.

Fake news. Look at the actual statistics from the prior post. There hasn't been a single case reported in California in months, much less any transmission. Even assuming the vaccination is effective, the chance of contracting the virus with or without vaccination is zero, since not a single person in this state with tens of millions of people carries the virus. If you feel moved to get a vaccine for an extraordinarily rare virus, might as well make it rabies.

Absent the information shared in the previous post, I believe in finishing what I started.  I was fortunate enough to be able to get the first MP shot amid an extreme shortage here in the US, and I'm going to get the final one as advised.
