Oh for goodness sake!

@WHO???

#MonkeyPoxIsAirborneToo

It might not transmit very well, but it has been shown to transmit via this route, and some indication that aerosol transmission may cause more severe disease. Why would we risk this?

and contact/body fluids, and environmental.

COVID-19 has broken down healthcare systems worldwide.

HCW have died and been sickened in their thousands.

Vital prevention work has slowed massively.

All diseases are on the rise.

Expect TB, HIV…everything to arrive near you.

Welcome to “living with the virus”™️
You think you can just spread infectious disease everywhere and ignore the consequences.

The consequences will find you.

We should have controlled COVID-19 ages ago in well resourced countries, and then we should have been doing work to help others.
Have a look at the huge number of infectious diseases emerging and re-emerging now.

Partly due to deforestation, but massively due to immunisations not done, contact tracing broken down, meds not distributed… and no HCW to do this work.

The words “close contact” have no benefit to the population to help them avoid catching #MonkeyPox.

What you need to know is it’s spread by breathing in infected tiny droplets called aerosol and from touching the affected skin/blister fluid.
At the moment the ease with which this passes between humans is not thought to be great, but I hope we have learned from COVID-19 that that is likely to improve rapidly, and smallpox did this efficiently.
Use what you have learned regarding COVID-19 precautions to prevent this until vaccines are available.

Pre-print. MERS-like virus, but it has a spike that binds ACE-2.

Like colours in the visible spectrum. Infinite diversity in infinite combination.

I have no idea what this one does to humans… so based on that we should all try it out. It must be mild anyway because the denominator is the whole world, and hardly anyone has died of it. We must let our immune systems interact with nature!

(Sarcasm)
Oh look, it only takes one mutation to allow it to infect humans efficiently… and neither COVID-19 nor MERS antibodies neutralise it.

Probable community transmission of Monkey Pox in London.

We need vaccines to be procured and disease awareness in the community with NPI’s instructed. amp.theguardian.com/science/2022/m…

Monkey Pox is transmitted between humans via respiratory secretions. The usual droplet dogma is advised by CDC, but I doubt that will be enough once it gets going. Use airborne disease control precautions, just like with COVID-19.

It’s also thought to spread through contact.
Kept a screenshot of this one, in case we later say monkey pox wasn’t aerosol and airborne. nj.gov/agriculture/di… Image

Coronavirus uses same strategy as HIV to hide inside cells.
Small study, and just because a virus has some features of another virus, doesn’t mean it’s the same.

This is a worry though, and explains partly how/why SAR-CoV-2 persists.
The next step would be to do long term monitoring to see what the effects are. If recovery occurs how well, and how long does it take? How do these infected cells function?

According to this, if you survive your first infection, then getting infected is a great way to not burden the hospital with your admission with your subsequent infection... only problem is, the hospital will be fine, but you might have long COVID!
But you do have to survive it first. The authors say that survivor bias hasn't affected their estimates of infection mediated protection from infection or hospitalisation... because the rate is less than 1%... still, tough luck if you don't make it.
Who wasn't included in this excellent study suggesting getting infected is good protection? The immunocompromised, anyone using a RAT, anyone with an infection again in less than 90 days (exposure? kids? more vulnerable? un-immunised?), people that got non-mRNA vaccines🤷🏽‍♀️, ->
