To my techies out there. Do you all think we will go back into WFH again with the rampant rates of Monkeypox?

No. The r0 (quantitative measure of contagiousness) of moneypox is thought to be between .57 and 1.25. This means on average, one infected person will pass it on to around 1 other person.

For comparison, the last strain of covid omicron variant has a r0 of 18…. if no one is shutting back down for that, we aren’t shutting down for monkeypox.

Not to mention monkeypox is transmitted primarily through direct contact with lesions of an infected person, so workplace spread is not very likely. Shutting down for this would be silly

Also, I would hardly call it “rampant “… there are less than 8k cases in the entire US.

Wait you went back? I haven’t seen an office since March 2020. 3 diff companies too

I am nearing my tenth year as an NP, all of which I have worked in oncology. While I do get fulfillment from what I do, I am burnt out. I’m not particularly interested in changing to a different field of direct patient care, rather would consider a complete departure, especially while my children are young. Any suggestions or advice? Any experiences with remote work for NPs?
