  1. Sure, it can sometimes cover the entire torso, but it more commonly appears on hands and face. Anyone vaccinated against smallpox, should be immune, as they are closely related. Thus, people over 40, and those with military service, should be immune. Cidofovir and Brincidofovir work to treat monkeypox in NHP, so should be effective.

  2. Plagues, not plaques. And the bible, which states that clothing can get leprosy, is not a good source for valid infectious disease information.
