Monkeypox Outbreak

More than 20,000 cases and zero deaths.

I would be surprised if anyone dies directly from being infected with monkeypox...The careless promiscuous habits of gay men in various countries seems to be the only thing that's continuing the spread of the disease...

Height of hypocrisy: Newsom declares gay sex-linked monkeypox a state of emergency in Cali after allowing gay, leather kink festival to go ahead - but BANNED kids from going to school during pandemic

San Francisco gay leather festival went ahead despite monkeypox state of emergency in

California became the second state in three days to take the step, after New York. So far, nearly 800 cases of the viral disease have been reported in the state, with 61,000 vaccine doses administered. 'We'll continue to work with the federal government to secure more vaccines, raise awareness about reducing risk, and stand with the LGBTQ community fighting stigmatization,' California Gov. Newsom said on Monday announcing his declaration. Meanwhile, a street fair called 'Dore Alley' or 'Up Your Alley,' a leather and fetish event that is commonly compared to the Folsom Street Fair - California's third-largest single-day and outdoor spectator event, as well as the world's largest leather event and showcase for BDSM products and culture - took place on Sunday.

Studies show monkeypox transmitted three ways. Experts rate risk levels as high, medium, lower

(Excerpt)

The most high-risk way to become infected with monkeypox is by skin-to-skin contact with lesions through sexual intercourse, cuddling — even kissing (especially on the groin, buttocks and thighs). Experts note that people who live in the same house as an infected person are also at high risk. Further, touching contaminated surfaces, bedding, clothing and towels, as well as sharing utensils with an infected person are high-risk actions.

Of medium risk is transmission via respiratory droplets that can pass between people in face-to-face or near face-to-face situations, at events where there is dancing and direct skin-to-skin contact, as well as crowded indoor spaces. This means that — as with COVID-19 — wearing a mask and maintaining 6 feet of distance is still a good idea, particularly in parts of the country where monkeypox cases are high.

Doing things like trying on clothes and touching nonporous surfaces are unlikely to spread monkeypox and are therefore in the lower transmission risk category. “Personally, I’m less concerned with trying clothing on in the store,” Dr. Saskia Popescu told The Times. However, she did advise those who are nervous about this to wash the clothes before wearing them. Other lower transmission behaviors include sitting on public transportation, sitting in an office and going to school.

They keep forgetting to take the 'k' out of monkeypox.

Did you know that you take the same PCR test for monkeypox as you do for Covid?

Right on cue, monkeypox is evading the monkeypox vaccines, let the fearmongering begin.

Warning as health chiefs say monkeypox cases are ‘evading’ jabs

(Excerpt)

The bug has been spreading across the globe with 3,025 infections having been picked up in the UK. In the US, there is now a total of 15,433 cases, with California and New York being hardest hit. Now, chiefs at the World Health Organisation (WHO) have warned that there has been a number of breakthrough cases of the bug. This means that people who are vaccinated - are still catching the illness. Dr Rosamund Lewis, WHO's technical lead for monkeypox, said these infections have been seen in people who had a prophylaxis vaccine following exposure to the virus.

A researcher is planning on creating a version of monkeypox that is 1000 times more lethal


KEY EXCERPT:

“Based on the available information, it appears the project is reasonably anticipated to yield a lab-generated monkeypox virus that is 1,000 times more lethal in mice than the monkeypox virus currently circulating in humans and that transmits as efficiently as the monkeypox virus currently circulating in humans. The risk-benefit ratio indicates potentially serious risks without clear civilian practical applications. Accordingly, this experiment would seem to involve risks reasonably anticipated to create, transfer, or use PPPs resulting from the enhancement of a pathogen’s transmissibility or virulence in humans. Thus, under the circumstances, we are interested in learning whether this experiment was reviewed under the HHS P3CO framework used to review research proposals posing significant biosafety or biosecurity risks."

Chicago records 2023's first cluster of monkeypox cases - just as WHO officials declare global virus emergency OVER

(Excerpt)

Chicago has recorded 12 confirmed and one probable case of the virus spread by sexual contact between April 17 and May 5, the latest dates available. For comparison, the city has been averaging less than one case a week since February.

Nine of the new infections were in men who are fully vaccinated, city health officials said. None of the infected people have been hospitalized.

Raising the alarm, they warned of a 'resurgence' of the disease, now known as mpox, that is spread via sexual contact and has so far sickened 30,000 Americans — the most in the world — and led to 42 deaths.

Last year the world was put on high alert when the virus began to spread, largely among gay and bisexual men in the US and Europe. But cases then receded in late summer.

New mutant strain of monkeypox with 'pandemic potential' is discovered in Congo village - as health officials call for 'urgent measures' to contain it

A mutant strain of monkeypox with 'pandemic potential' has been found in a town in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The virus is a descendent of the deadlier clade 1 mpox strain, but has evolved to become even more infectious and better at evading tests than its predecessor.

The concerning discovery was made in Kamituga – a poor, densely populated gold mining town that is feared to be ripe for an explosive outbreak. So far there have been 108 cases.

Researchers who detailed the virus in a pre-print have called for 'urgent measures' to contain the virus and avoid a global outbreak.
