I agree, I would not want to go back into quarantine.
I do not know anyone that has had monkeypox. I would not like to return to quarantine, however, it is the best step to take that will ensure the safety of myself and others. Going into quarantine seems like a very fun thing to do, especially with the symptoms of monkeypox. But if everyone were to quarantine when they contract the virus it will drastically help stop the infection rates.
I agree, if the infected people were to just go into quarantine right when they know they have it cases will go down a lot faster.
I have not heard much about the monkeypox virrus. I personally do not know anyone who has had the virrus. There would be pros and cons to going back to quarantine. I would miss all of my friends from school however I would be able to get more work done at home. Everyone could use some more free time.
I agree, I would not want to go into quarantine becasue your away from everyone for way to long.
I don't know anyone who has had monkey pox. I would not like to go back in quarantine because of how isolated and boring quarintine was during covid times. I also would not like working on a computer all day in my room or doing the classes on zoom.
I agree, I would never want to go back into quarantine unless more people start dying.
I do not know of anyone who has had monkeypox. Contrary to what others have said, I have not had monkeypox. I don't think that we would ever need to go into quarantine for this. Covid was spread through the air, while this is from skin contact.
I agree, and dont think we will have to go into quarantine since this isnt spreading as fast.
Because monkeypox is not as widespread as other viruses, such as codid-19, I do not know or heard of anyone who have had it. In my opinion, I would not want to go back into quarantine for monkeypox. For the time being, I do not think that we need to go into quarantine yet; however, if the virus becomes more widespread, I believe we might need to go into quarantine again. Especially because monkeypox sounds like an even more painful virus than covid-19.
