So now it's Monkeypox? Monkeypox May Sometimes Spread Through the Air- Adams declares monkeypox state of emergency in New York

Everybody should be concerned about Monkeypox, Biden warns
Only one case of the virus has so far been identified in the U.S., but public health officials say the disease is likely to spread.


How they say one case when just a couple days ago, I read about one on Massachusetts??? :confused:
 
MP,covid,hep c,aids I can't keep up.....

if you didn't strap up,you better start cause their not sure what the affects of catching that shit does to someone long term.
 
Nobody care what you think. N'un new has been reported. You want so badly for folks to live scary like you do.
Hey you don’t like the way I point out things didn’t keep it moving because you are not stopping me. If I can prevent one person from catching something then my job is done.

Three now.... Florida's joined the party

Florida health officials investigating 3rd possible monkeypox case in US
The patient had recently traveled internationally, officials said.

Florida health officials are investigating what they describe as a "presumptive" monkeypox case, making it the third possible case of the virus in the U.S. as global infections continue to rise.

The case is being investigated in Broward County and appears to be related to international travel, the Florida Department of Health in Broward County said in a press release Sunday.


A Massachusetts man who had recently traveled to Canada became the first case of the rare virus detected in the United States this year after the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed his positive test on Wednesday.

On Thursday, the New York City Department of Health announced that it was investigating a possible case of monkeypox after a patient tested positive for orthopoxvirus -- the family of viruses to which monkeypox belongs. The patient's tests were sent to the CDC for confirmatory testing.


Globally, there are more than 190 confirmed or suspected cases in 16 countries where the disease is not normally found, according to an analysis from Global.health, a data science initiative from Boston Children's Hospital and Oxford University. The rare disease typically circulates in Western and Central Africa, but several cases have been detected around the world since a patient in the United Kingdom tested positive on May 7 following travel to Nigeria.

While the CDC sent out a health alert Friday warning doctors and local health departments to be on the lookout for patients who may have symptoms of monkeypox and report those cases to the CDC, public health officials and infectious disease experts emphasize that the risk to the general public remains low.

The disease can also spread from person to person via large respiratory droplets in the air, through skin lesions, bodily fluids or contact with contaminated material.

The World Health Organization advises the public to prevent spreading the infection by isolating if you have symptoms, avoiding contact with anyone who may have symptoms, wearing a mask if you come into contact with an infected individual, and thoroughly cleaning hands and surfaces.

May 24 (Reuters) - Nearly 20 countries where monkeypox is not endemic have reported outbreaks of the viral disease, with more than 100 confirmed or suspected infections mostly in Europe.

The outbreaks are raising alarm because monkeypox, which spreads through close contact and was first found in monkeys, mostly occurs in west and central Africa, and only very occasionally spreads elsewhere. read more

We had a briefing this morning about this. So, the LGBTQ community is trying to suppress information/ data that the majority of US infections have been gay men. Although, it is a form of "pox," the mechanism of transmission of monkey pox is not the same as other pox such as small pox.

At this time it is being labeled a sexually transmitted disease. The CDC and other health organizations are scrambling to create wording to alert susceptible populations while being sensitive. Expect to see a lot of boots on the ground trying to find those infected and getting them vaccinated.
 
Damn, BGOL has fallen when posters are asking to make a thread a sticky thread about a virus only found in LGBT club members.

LGBT club members are running rampant on BGOL now :smh:

Monkeypox in Canada: PHAC now confirms 16 cases nationwide

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) says it has now confirmed a total of 16 cases of monkeypox in the country, all in Quebec.

The latest update on the spread of the viral disease came in a statement issued Wednesday evening.

The Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) says it has now confirmed a total of 16 cases of monkeypox in the country, all in Quebec.

The latest update on the spread of the viral disease came in a statement issued Wednesday evening.


The statement says Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory continues to receive samples from multiple jurisdictions for confirmation testing.

"At this time, cases of monkeypox are being identified and treated by local health clinics," the statement said.

There is ongoing planning with provinces and territories to provide access to approved vaccines in Canada that, if required, can be used in managing monkeypox in their jurisdiction."

The PHAC says it has given Quebec a small shipment of the smallpox vaccine Imvamune from Canada's National Emergency Strategic Stockpile, with other jurisdictions able to receive some supply.

In April, Public Services and Procurement Canada submitted a tender to purchase 500,000 doses of the Imvamune vaccine between 2023 and 2028.

There is currently no need for mass immunizations, the PHAC says.

"I know Canadians are concerned," Duclos said in a statement Tuesday. "The Government of Canada is prepared to respond to emerging public health events and takes precautions to prevent the introduction and spread of communicable diseases."

The national laboratory received its first samples during the week of May 16, before announcing the first two cases of monkeypox identified in Quebec on May 19. That number rose to five cases the following day.

Since then, other possible cases of monkeypox have emerged in Canada. On Wednesday, Toronto public health authorities said they identified two new suspected cases in the city, along with one probable case currently under investigation.

Monkeypox is a rare disease that was first discovered among colonies of monkeys used for research. Historically, it has also been transmitted from animals to humans, with the first human case recorded in 1970. The virus can spread through close contact with an infected animal, human, or contaminated material.


The federal government is prepared to help provinces and territories develop their own means of testing for the disease in order to monitor it more easily, Duclos said.

"Our surveillance system is working, as is our testing system, though we will continue to refine both, including supporting provinces and territories in building their own testing capacities so cases can be identified and traced even more efficiently," Duclos' statement read.

The government will also provide updated guidance on preventing infection, as well as procedures around isolation and case management. Canadians can expect the National Advisory Committee on Immunization (NACI) to provide additional guidance in the coming weeks as well.

In his statement, Duclos emphasized that the emergence of monkeypox is not the same as COVID-19, which quickly spiralled into a worldwide pandemic.

"I want to re-iterate to Canadians that this is a different situation than we saw ourselves in with the emergence of COVID-19," Duclos' statement read. "While global understanding of the monkeypox virus is still evolving, we do have a supply of vaccines, which we will be sure to maintain, and we are working hand-in-hand with our provincial and territorial counterparts to roll out our response plan as quickly as possible."

Monkeypox May Sometimes Spread Through the Air

WEDNESDAY, June 8, 2022 (HealthDay News) -- After adding, and then deleting, a recommendation that U.S. travelers wear masks to protect themselves from monkeypox, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention still says that those traveling to countries where the disease is spreading and “other people who may be in close contact with a person who has been confirmed with monkeypox" should consider wearing masks.
Why the new guidance? The advice comes as experts say the monkeypox virus can sometimes spread through the air, at least over short distances, but it's not clear exactly how much that contributes to the spread of the disease.
When it updated its guidance last week for travelers, the CDC advised: “Wear a mask. Wearing a mask can help protect you from many diseases, including monkeypox.”
But in a statement released Tuesday, the agency said it "removed the mask recommendation from the monkeypox travel health notice because it caused confusion," The New York Times reported.
The CDC still advises monkeypox patients to wear a surgical mask, “especially those who have respiratory symptoms,” and also asks other household members to “consider wearing a surgical mask” when in the presence of the person with monkeypox.
As of Wednesday, the United States had confirmed 35 cases of monkeypox in 12 states and the District of Columbia. Worldwide, more than a thousand people have been diagnosed with the disease since the first case in the outbreak was reported on May 13, and at least another thousand cases are under investigation, the Times reported.
In previous monkeypox outbreaks, most cases occurred among people who had close contact with an infected person or animal, but airborne transmission was still the only explanation for some cases.

But in media and public briefings, health officials have not specifically discussed the possibility of airborne transmission of the monkeypox virus or the use of masks for protection, according to the Times.
Still, monkeypox does not spread easily, unlike pathogens such as coronavirus or flu virus.
Monkeypox infection requires “really close sustained contact,” Andrea McCollum, the CDC’s leading expert on the virus, told the Times.
“This is not a virus that was transmitted over several meters,” she explained. “That’s why we have to be really careful how to frame this.”
When the Times asked McCollum whether health officials should make the possibility of airborne transmission more widely known, she replied, “It’s a fair point to make, and it’s something we certainly should consider moving forward.”
Planning for potential airborne transmission of monkeypox is particularly important in hospitals, Dr. Donald Milton, an expert on viruses at the University of Maryland, told the Times.
The many unknowns of monkeypox -- including the primary method of transmission -- were discussed at a conference last week organized by the World Health Organization.
“It’s very ambiguous what the true or dominant route of transmission is, and some of that can be addressed in animal models,” Nancy Sullivan, a researcher at the U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said at the conference, the Times reported. “Probably that needs to take a front seat for some of the laboratory research.”

Ohio Department of Health identifies probable monkeypox case

COLUMBUS – Ohio Department of Health (ODH) Director Bruce Vanderhoff, MD, MBA, announced today that ODH has identified a probable case of monkeypox infection in an adult male Ohio resident based on preliminary testing at the ODH laboratory. Confirmatory monkeypox testing at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is pending.

ODH is working closely with the CDC, relevant local boards of health, and the patient’s health care providers to ensure appropriate care for the patient.

The individual remains isolated and is following recommendations from public health officials and medical providers.

“What I want to emphasize strongly is that monkeypox does not spread easily between people, and so the risk to Ohioans generally is very low,” Dr. Vanderhoff said.

Dr. Vanderhoff said that unlike COVID-19, which can be spread easily from person to person through the air over several feet of space, monkeypox spreads between people primarily through direct contact with infectious sores, scabs, or body fluids. It also can be spread by respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-face contact.

Monkeypox can spread during intimate contact between people, including during sex, as well as activities like kissing, cuddling, or touching parts of the body with monkeypox sores.

ODH strongly recommends that anyone who is experiencing symptoms of an unexplained rash (lesions on any part of the body) contact a healthcare provider as soon as possible. People who are feeling ill should stay home.

Persons who only have flu-like symptoms without rash should get tested for COVID-19. Ill persons should wear a mask when seeking care or if they are not able to isolate from others.

Monkeypox is a viral illness that typically begins with flu-like symptoms and swelling of the lymph nodes and progresses to a rash. Cases recently identified across the country appear less likely to have the initial symptoms of flu-like illness or lymph node swelling and the rash, which may look like pimples or blisters, may also stay contained to a particular part of the body.

It is important to note that anyone can get monkeypox, even though most cases associated with the investigation in the United States have occurred among men who have sex with men.

WHO will rename monkeypox virus to combat racism and stigma

1655228706845.jpg


The World Health Organization said Tuesday it will rename the monkeypox virus after concern that it could stoke racism and stigma.

Why it matters: The current name for the virus, which has infected over 1,600 people in 39 countries this year and was first reported in Africa, does not adhere to WHO guidelines that discourage the use of geographic regions or animals, Bloomberg reports.

What they're saying: WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a briefing that the WHO is "working with partners and experts from around the world on changing the name of monkeypox virus, its clades and the disease it causes."

The big picture: A group of over 30 international scientists called for a name change last week, writing in a letter that "continued reference to, and nomenclature of this virus being African is not only inaccurate but is also discriminatory and stigmatizing."

  • "The most obvious manifestation of this is the use of photos of African patients to depict the pox lesions in mainstream media in the global north."
  • There is also "an increasing narrative in the media and among many scientists that are trying to link the present global outbreak to Africa or West Africa, or Nigeria," the letter pointed out.
  • "As any other disease, it can occur in any region in the world and afflict anyone, regardless of race or ethnicity," the letter added. "As such, we believe that no race or skin complexion should be the face of this disease."
Worth noting: The announcement mirrors a similar move after a growing mass of people began associating the coronavirus with China and Chinese people.
