The above report does not indicate which of the 2 clades of #MonkeypoxVirus are responsible for the cases.
The reported case fatality rate of 3.6% is higher than the usual 1% for the West African clade but lower than the up to 10% for the Central African clade.

The report does not indicate if the reported cases are due to person-to-person transmission or to contact with infected wild mammals.
#monkeys are not the reservoirs of the virus, despite the name that the virus has received.

I want to start out by saying, you folks are in a tough position, being PUBLIC SERVANTS of WE the People. I would like to believe that you truly have the best interest of our children and the community in mind, but you are factually acting outside of your delegated authority...
by practicing medicine, imposing unlawful medical interventions, and by simulating legal process.
That being said, our forefathers put together one of the most powerful and amazing documents in our history. The #constitution, which was drafted to protect individual rights!

They did this in an effort to make sure we didn’t end up under #tyranny again, and yet, here we are with individuals and Agencies operating outside of both their delegated authority and outside of the law. I’d bet my LIFE (emphasis added), if any one of them were alive today...

Let’s look at another famous ‘mystery animal’ image. This time the 'de Loys ape' photo of 1920(ish), taken in the Catatumbo River basin of #Venezuela. You surely know the photo already. But do you know its complicated backstory? Join me as we explore it in this loooong thread…
The photo shows a large, hairy primate, sat on a wooden box, a stick propping it up beneath the chin. The version shared most often is cropped, so you only see what looks like bare ground or the river behind the animal. #cryptozoology
The uncropped version shows the opposite river bank and some hacked-down plants surrounding the animal.... #primates #monkeys #mysteries
THREAD: New hope for the Okapi Wildlife Reserve – a wildlife haven in the heart of the Congo rainforest that's under threat. (1/4)
Okapi Wildlife Reserve is 1.5 times the size of #Yellowstone and has:
-Largest remaining population of #okapi
-1 of the largest populations of forest #elephants in DRC
-Largest stronghold of #chimpanzees in the region
-Highest diversity of #monkeys anywhere in Africa (2/4)

Today, Okapi Wildlife Reserve is located in an area of conflict and insecurity. This conflict thrives on weak governance and rule of law, which exists across many of DRC's remote border areas. (3/4)
And now I present: a thread based on my love of #science, #scicomm, and #animals, and the fact that I'm a huge #nerd:

The other day at the library, I got this book by Ann Tompert for my 2yo (2/?): amazon.com/Just-Little-Bi…
The premise: an elephant and a mouse want to ride a see-saw. #Physics has other ideas, so some other animals come to help. (3/?)
