I would be interested to see how this might project ahead about 8 weeks. Need someone good with numbers. The variables keep changing

Be careful. Dennis doesn’t like us offending his “homosexual/lesbian” members, as he put it, when I got reprimanded. We’re strictly forbidden from pointing out the obvious. That’s just not PC anymore. It’s for the children ya know.

Someone figure the deaths per known cases on the date of death in each country. This article lacks the two deaths reported yesterday.

For instance, India reported one death August 1, but they only had ten cases on August 17. So that death may have been 1/2, 1/3, or 1/4 on August 1.

Twitter posts are useful for history of numbers.

Around 100 countries where mpox is not endemic have reported outbreaks of the viral disease, which the World Health Organization has declared a global health emergency.

for real? They finally came out? Good on them. Now I'd like to see all the closet liberals and SJW own up.

True, but gonorrhea and syphilis are bacterial....

And from a furry who loves to attend "pride" events? I wouldn't get near the guy without a full body condom!

Article dated June 26. Beto went to a pride event in Houston. This is the only public statement of attendance that I can find, although he was in California for a political event two weeks ago.

It must have been a pretty serious bacterial infection to have symptoms bad enough to go to the ER. Being a politician, he has pretty good health care, so the ER would not have been the default for most care.

Beto fell ill on Friday 8/26, went to the ER for his symptoms, and was diagnosed at the ER w/ a bacterial infection. They gave him IV antibiotics, which means it was probably something serious. There was implications that he was admitted to the hospital, although I can't find a direct statement of that. As of Monday morning 8/29, he was at home (in El Paso) resting.

If he was exposed to Monkeypox on 6/26, and he had a long incubation period of 14 days, he would have shown first symptoms on 7/10. If the rash took on the longer side to appear, it would have started showing about 7 days later on 7/17. The full blown pustules would have been showing (although possibly in concealed areas) during the last 2 weeks of July, and the bacterial coinfections (if they occurred) would have been occurring during the first two weeks of August. So I doubt Beto's infection is Monkeypox. Probably some other nasty bug he picked up.

Wasn’t he recently (two weeks ago?) out in San Francisco?

Airplane, hotel, car trips…
Gay pride groups, out there shaking hands, giving high fives….hugging, possibly?

The article I read said he has been doing a campaign "drive" from county to county all across Texas for about the last 4 weeks, so probably did not go to San Francisco. Although according to his schedule, he was in the Fort Worth area on Aug 11-13, and was not in the Houston area until a few days ago.

The hand shakes, with the demographics of his likely voters, are much more likely to be infected, so that is a good point. I was sitting here thinking about the hand shakes, and how although it is possible to spread Monkeypox it is not as easily spread as closer contact. Also if one of the voters was infected, the amount of time they would spend with Beto would be mere seconds, most likely. Then I had an interesting thought:

He spends much more time with his staff than individual random voters, obviously. If one of his staff caught Monekypox at one of the events, and then spread it to Beto while on the campign trail -- the timeline syncs up much more accurately to Beto having a secondary bacterial infection with Monkeypox right about now. His staff members are much more likely to be in the men-having-sex-with-men community as well, I would guess.

I just looked at the article, and a little further break out is that 2 out of 5 cases had NO sexual contact within the last 21 days, and the 3 out of 5 cases did report having hetrosexual sex within the last 21 days -- implying that 0 out of 5 cases had homosexual sex in the last 21 days. Two of the cases are female.

I never bothered with hand sanitizer during covid but I think I'll pick some up.

I have deep scarring from shingles in 2014 and am in no hurry to add more.

Not in my case. I had 12 family members, friends, and people I knew well that died from Covid. I dare say, none of my family or friends will likely ever get MP, much less die from it. Good grief. Most don't even scar from it if it's a mild case, and I haven't read of too many deaths or hospitalizations.

I could be remembering wrong, but I thought I read that alcohol (and thus hand sanitizer) doesn't work on this virus. Consider getting some Hibiclens (it's a liquid antiseptic cleanser). Yes, you need water to remove it, but acwashcloth in a zip lock bag should work for when you're away from home.

It contains Chlorhexadine, which kills viruses. I bought a gallon during the H1N1 flu epidemic from Jeffers Vet Supplies, and still have most of it...

In my notes (that are pre-2022) I have a note that alcohol does work against Monkeypox, if it is a stronger version 70-75% or higher, but has a note that it requires at least 30 seconds of contact. Which is why when the first cases were reported I bought myself some of the 99% alcohol at the pharmacy (which is relatively hard to come by).

I just did a quick search, and it looks like the CDC and others now say the old 60% alcohol hand sanitizer is effective. I'll have to remember to try to search out more information.

I did find this study from 2007 in my notes, which may be helpful.

Technically it studies the vaccinia virus, which is what most studies that look at any pox family viruses (such as Smallpox and Monkeypox) uses. It notes that 75% alcohol hand rubs are sufficient for hospital conditions.
