3-4% mortality compared to the 1% before. And just in time for School to be back.I have not read much about it, but it looks like it spreads with skin contact and is more severe than the older variant.
As mpox continues to cross borders, is the US prepared for an outbreak?
The first identified case outside of Africa came a day after the World Health Organization issued its second emergency declaration.www.usatoday.com
Looks like I don’t need to worry about it.

If this becomes airborne the lockdowns will make covid look like a picnic. 2020 all over again, only much worse.

@Metwannabe can you tell us about smallpox? You are the only one here old enough to recall it

Vaccine hesitancy and variants have increased mortality.
Well then, you better pucker up for the vaccine. Oh, and by the way, be sure and sign the dotted line to absolve Pfizer in case anything, how shall I say, "unexpected" happens.

I didn’t work EMS during COVID but during COVID we apparently lost a ton of providers and the ones that were left were extremely burnt out due to call volume they had to cover . I really don’t want to experience that nightmare
This is all definitely expected right on que.

Per Berkeley , gay men have been the most impacted. Makes sense that San Fran is getting these cases. Though similar to HIV, it could eventually really impact everyone I guess

What is monkeypox and how worried should we be?
We asked John Swartzberg, clinical professor emeritus of infectious diseases and vaccinology, to give us his perspective on the virus.

This is what GPT said about the new variant. COVID's mortality was 1-4%.
The new mpox variant, known as Clade 1b, is proving to be significantly more deadly than previous variants. This strain, which has been spreading primarily in Central Africa, particularly in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), has a mortality rate as high as 10% in some cases, particularly among children. This is much higher compared to the more common Clade II strains, which had a much lower mortality rate of around 1% or less during the global outbreak in 2022.
The Clade 1b variant has been linked to severe symptoms, including widespread skin rashes and systemic involvement, making it more dangerous than other variants. The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared the spread of this variant a global public health emergency due to its increased lethality and transmissibility.
Efforts are ongoing to control the spread of this variant, but the situation remains critical, especially in regions with limited access to vaccines and healthcare (World Health Organization (WHO)) (DW).
