Thanks for the stimulating comments
Excellant thoughts all around. I was not aware of monkey pox until this had occurred. Cow pox of course, was the impeutus for the development of the small pox vaccine.

Monkey Pox
It would be interesting to know if a survivor of Monkey Pox would be immune to Small Pox.
