It spreads primarily through physical contact with the scabs or fluid. To catch it, you basically need to hug or lick someone with it. You also get over it, and once you're over it you're no longer contagious. (Unclear if it works like chickenpox, where it can reactivate years later, or whether it's fully cleared).
>go to rave with monkeypox and "free hugs" tattooed on your moobs
>give 100 hugs
>10 of them get the pox
This is... not very contagious.
>pozzed guys from the rave go home
>some of the people who hug or lick them get it
The outbreak died out because telling people "Don't touch people when you've got monkeypox" and "don't hug or lick the monkeypox guy" turns out to be enough to stop it. It's a pretty easy sell - would YOU want to lick or hug someone with monkeypox?
