New study about the persistence of #MPXV on surfaces: a visual thread:
We already know #MPXV #MonkeypoxVirus can live for 35 weeks at around 40F (4C) thanks to this 2007 study: semanticscholar.org/paper/Environm…
Researchers studied two #MPXV patients in Germany last month (eurosurveillance.org/content/10.280…) and found virus everywhere in their rooms
The virus was measured and found to not be dead, but instead, to be viable.
Public health is unserious in their response to #MPXV and in six weeks, our kids will be back in school. Here’s a map of the virus in the rooms.

Bottom line: MPXV is not an STD

We talked to our health department yesterday about #MPXV #monkeypox and y’all, the future is not good. Essentially, because the public refused to do 10 day quarantines they dropped to 5 hoping they would at least do 5. This is the same with mpxv.
They said “for now vax is for close contacts”

Us: ok but don’t fomites live on surfaces at least 24 hours?

Then: yeah

Us: ok so what about when someone with #mpxv goes in Kroger and touches carts and products with open sores?
Them: we would use cameras to try to identify close contacts

Us: ok that is unserious. But let’s reframe, what about school starting in 6 weeks and the playground? Bathrooms? Cafeteria? Shared markers and pencils?

Them: well we try to sanitize between…

Us: dude BETWEEN WHAT
