ProfKevinFenton RizLateef Anyone read it properly?

Since when are the US, Canada and Australia in Europe? And what is Monkeybox? Do the BBC no longer employ proofreaders?

Is a monkeybox found ‘south of the border’ on a female monkey?

Monkeybox really BBC?

This has only happened since we started letting everything into the uk 🇬🇧

'Initial symptoms include fever, headaches, swellings, back pain, aching muscles and a general listlessness.' Have I had monkeypox for 37 years 🤔

Some scaring from the lesions just like i hot from chicken pox in the 70s.

Several hundred, no. Several thousand, no. Several….oh, just several cases ?! Phew.

In other news, London Zoo has temporarily suspended the glory holes in the Primate House.

Monkeybox? 😂 It’s been a while since news contained truth and relevance but have we really given up on basic spelling too?! 😂

'Cases of monkeypox - a rare, little-known disease - are being investigated in European countries including the UK, the US, Canada and Australia.' Umm as far as I know, the US, Canada and Australia arent in Europe BBC.

Ok so it’s like a mild chickenpox. Let’s not lose the heads this time ffs.

Not that dangerous. But we all think it might be because now we're paranoid.

No idea how dangerous it is. But its perfect for all ypu media idiots to hype the country into a frenzy......again.

Just as what Bill effing Gates 'predicted' in Nov 2021 of the coming 'smallpox terror attack'. These psychos always tell you in advance

People at risk should perhaps take precautions

I guess the BBC also fall foul of predictive text 🤣🤣🤣

Ask BillGates he seems to know all about it.

Berhabs some broofreading could come in useful

Monkey box or pox

Monkeybox is far more deadly…
