Community spread is now minimal and decreasing. 7D moving average for US cases was over 400 in August and now it's 29. https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/response/2022/mpx-tre...

As a bisexual man I think the LGBT community is getting far too little credit for how they reacted to this. Men getting vaccinated essentially saved the world from more spread at a very critical time.

It wasn't just personal responsibility and willingness to get vaccinated and reduce number of partners. Gay men shouted from the rooftops at public health authorities to get them to step up testing, treatment, and vaccination campaigns very early, when many doctors were ignorant, unable or unwilling to take it seriously.
