Through close, personal, contact:
•Direct contact with monkeypox rash, scabs, or body fluids
•Touching objects, fabrics (clothing, bedding, towels) used by someone with monkeypox.

Patients: Keep lesions covered and wear a mask when around others

What is monkey pox? A 🧵

Monkey pox is a zoonosis (infection from animals) caused by a virus closely related to the smallpox virus

First cases in macaques in 1958

First human case reported in 1970 from DRC

Prior cases may have been mistaken for smallpox
2/
 - Transmission from animals to humans through scratches or bites from infected animals (rodents/nonhuman primates) or eating bush meat

- Human to human transmission usually limited to close family contacts or HCWs. Contact/droplets main modes of transmission
3/
Hallmarks of infection are fever, swollen lymph nodes and rash

Rash goes from flat patches to raised nodules to vesicles, 1-2 days in each phase

Final stage of pus filled blisters can last 5-7 days

Infective period - from onset of fever till all lesions scabbed over

COVID cases in India rising rapidly, heralding a probable third wave. While India needs to prepare for the worst, there are hopeful signs that this wave will not be associated with the high death rate of the delta wave

Why?
1/
Two main reasons

- Larger proportion of the population immune through vaccination or past infection

- Omicron does not cause the severe lung inflammation and oxygen need seen with delta

2/
What can an individual do to prepare:

- Get vaccinated, get boosted when eligible
- Mask up
- Avoid crowds whenever possible

What we know and don't know about #Omicron (B 1.1.529)

1/ Reported in S. Africa Nov 24 from a sample from Nov 9. So it has been around for at least 3 weeks, possibly longer.

2/ Classified as Variant of Concern (VOC) on Nov 26

3/ Several mutations on the spike protein
4/ As of Nov 27, found in many other countries including Belgium, Botswana, Germany, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, UK.

Seems widespread already.
5/ Why is it Omicron a variant of concern ?

First, it has spread rapidly in S. Africa, replacing Delta entirely in some areas. This ability to replace delta is striking because other variants have not been able to do that.

Vaccine Efficacy updated FAQ:

1) Do vaccines prevent infection? Including delta.

Yes. Unvaccinated 5 times more likely to be infected in LA county study. cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7… Image
2) Do vaccines work as well against delta variant as we hoped?

No. Based on UK studies efficacy is lower against symptomatic infection (see table) but still extremely high against severe disease (>90%). Image
3) Do vaccines prevent hospitalization and death, including against delta variant.

Yes. Unvaccinated 29 times more likely to be hospitalized due to COVID than vaccinated in LA county study. Image
