Ambergris Posted May 30, 2022 Author Share Posted May 30, 2022 What does he mean "strangely?" There's been a monkeypox boil-over in Africa going on since 2017. Not trying to game out the possibilities would be highly irresponsible. +++++++++++++++++++++++ Quote Link to comment
SusanAnn Posted May 31, 2022 Share Posted May 31, 2022 Not sure if you're all interested in links from our BBC, but yesterday we were up to 179 cases here in the UK https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-61640196 3 Quote Link to comment
Ambergris Posted May 31, 2022 Author Share Posted May 31, 2022 Officials in the U.K., which on Tuesday confirmed 179 cases, and Spain, where the health ministry on Monday announced it has 120 cases, are recommending smallpox vaccines for close contacts of those already infected, believing that a vaccine for the related virus given within four days of exposure can minimize monkeypox symptoms.\ Another article says the smallpox vaccine is understood to be 85% effective in preventing monkeypox. I was coming on line last night, SusanAnn, to post information from that article, but I got distracted. Thanks for supplying the link. 2 1 Quote Link to comment

Jeepers Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 I agree Dogmom4. Ambergris is great at ferreting out medical stats and keeping us informed. 3 1 Quote Link to comment
Ambergris Posted June 18, 2022 Author Share Posted June 18, 2022 They're talking about renaming it, but I don't think hMPXV 1, hMPXV 2 or hMPXV 3 or even the shorter MPXV 1, MPXV 2 or MPXV 3 is going to stick.

Mother Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 Highest numbers found on the west, east, and south coasts, and in the the middle of the northern areas. All with major airports and huge populations. Did anyone happen to notice where the Covid outbreak started in the US? Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted June 18, 2022 Share Posted June 18, 2022 They just announced that #1 case here in Ohio a week ago. But they won't tell us ANY details. Not even the county. 3 Quote Link to comment

Ambergris Posted June 22, 2022 Author Share Posted June 22, 2022 3308 cases in 42 countries, by the way. Up 50% in a week. But this a minor disease, neither very contagious nor very dangerous, and no one needs to be alarmed. Move along people. Nothing to see here. Move along. 3 Quote Link to comment
Jeepers Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 We rarely hear anything about it up here. Quote Link to comment
Mother Posted June 23, 2022 Share Posted June 23, 2022 And that from a disease that was rarely heard of except where it is endemic. Still, if I am understanding it right, the procedures we learned to prevent Covid should protect us from these emerging diseases too. Shouldn’t it? 1 Quote Link to comment
