Also stop beating up short-statured people, they aren’t responsible for smallpox.

We really need a better standardized naming convention for diseases.

So monkeys are getting viciously attacked because of ‘monkeypox’.
Hmmm. 
Can we have a competition to name the next new virus to emerge?
I’d pay quite a lot for ‘trusspox’. I’d settle for ‘torypox’.
But I expect I’d get beaten by the votes for ‘trumppox’ or ‘goppox’/‘magapox’.
Maybe it can be given a different name in each country? ‘Putinpox’ anyone?

Maybe we could name a pox after prominent talking heads and spokespeople from right-wing media channels. Because nothing would be funnier than seeing Tucker Carlson get beaten up on suspicion of spreading the foxspoxpox.
