A flight attendant quarantining in Florida says he caught monkeypox from a dirty hotel or airplane, not through sex with another person. As monkeypox cases explode in the US, it is a concerning allegation.
The flight attendant, who goes by Josh Jones on TikTok, was working for a U.S. airline in Florida when he developed skin problems. He went to the emergency room, where he was tested, and the results showed that he had monkeypox, though the spread of the disease on his body made it clear before the results arrived.

He is being quarantining for three weeks due to the CDC's guidelines. The hotel is in Lauderdale The company is paying for his hotel and giving him $50 a day. Jones complains of headaches but sleeps well after six days. He is not at risk of dying.
Men having sex with men is the main cause of monkeypox. Jones, who is gay, doesn't think that is how he got monkeypox. He said that he answered the question from viewers.
“No, I have been in contact with someone or had sex or whatever like you guys think because flight attendants are apparently horrors. I know I’ve gotten it on the plane or at a dirty hotel or another crew member may have had it or come into contact with me.”
According to the CDC, monkeypox can be spread through direct contact or by touching objects that have been used by a person with the disease.

I don't want to fearmonger at all. This is an allegation that we want to learn more about. It is one thing for a virus to be spread via sexual contact or even coming into close contact with asymptomatic person, but it is quite a concern that this flight attendant claims he was not in contact with anyone who was diagnosed with the disease.
As with COVID-19, there is a point in which we must live our lives, but I hope this virus does not become so prevalent that we start second-guessing any sort of human to human contact.
