good that this monkeyox beingh foubnd arooubnd the world, 400 as of ~ june 1, is the less deadly (but still ~1% !!), no ththe ~10% (yikes!().
i think I mentioned elswhere it would be good time to do waste water monitoring at all tiomes for everything we can.
shouldn’t we be investing heavily in population-level monitoring like waste water surverillance? seems like a good way to keep any eye out for things
i just read somewhere that moneypox has likely been circulating slfor some time, just doesn’t have the monitoring.
monkeypox: generally takes longer exposure than covid-19 or measels.
“The linking of cases to sexual activity doesn’t mean that the virus is more contagious or is transmitted sexually, however — just that the virus spreads readily through close contact, Rimoin says. Unlike SARS-CoV-2, which isn’t thought to linger on surfaces much, poxviruses can survive for a long time outside the body, making surfaces such as bedsheets and doorknobs potential vectors of transmission, Roper says.”
so no w we have one that’s oppositey the primarily respiratory spread c19. wonder if people will be able to make th nedd to wassh down surfsaaces and etc, which turned out to be less useful that orriginal;ly c19 thought..
