MONKEY POX
Monkeypox is a rare but serious disease causing illness, including a rash or sores (pox), often with accompanying flu-like symptoms.
Most cases in the U.S. have been mild to date, though the infection can be painful.

There is one reported case in Eastern Jackson County, Missouri. There are four cases in the Kansas City Metro area and 1 in Johnson County Kansas.
The following precautions are important:

How it spreads:
Direct contact with infected lesions, rashes, scabs, or fluids
Contact with contaminated materials like clothing or linens
Respiratory droplets from prolonged face-to-face contact (monkeypox is not thought to be transmitted in the same way as COVID-19)
Across the placenta to the fetus among pregnant people

Vaccine:
There is a vaccine available to treat Monkey Pox.
At this time, it should only be used for post-exposure and on a case-by-case basis.

In Honor of Labor Day!

One-seventh of your life is spent on Monday. But the only person to get work done by Friday was Robinson Crusoe!

"It's a recession when your neighbor loses his job. It's a depression when you lose your job!" - Harry S. Truman

My first job was in an orange juice factory, but I couldn't concentrate on the same old boring rind, so I got canned!

Did you hear about the farmer who had never been to the big city? He took his family for a short vacation over Labor Day just to see the sights. His first experience with an elevator was seeing a 90-year old woman walk in and the doors close behind her. When the doors opened back up again, a blonde 30-year old female model stepped off the elevator.

(Look for the answer in the last section.)
