My worry: the correctional facility has both high school and community college faculty who teach inmates at the prison on a part-time basis. If the teachers get it, it's a very short path into our schools and can be further spread at the crowded high school football games and college football games.

Most YouTube news videos from affected countries show their military at the checkpoints.

Pakistan's fifth case came from Jeddah.

The African clinics are overwhelmed. You see people crammed together on benches with yards of fabric on their bodies and little sanitation.

Maybe Africa couldn't get the vaccines early enough to prevent this because the pharma pushers know they don't really work.

Just rambling thoughts.

My expiration date (due to vax) is September 10. I've got two households with COVID positive tests and I've been all over the patients without getting sick. Is the vax working?
There are times when one is exposed and never gets it. My best friend had it twice; her husband slept in the same bed and got nothing. In my own house, 2 out of 3 had it, then 1 out of 3 (poor me) and then 1 out of 2.

When my best friend had her first bout, I had been with her shopping all afternoon (riding in the same car). Next day, she came down with COVID. I never got it and I was definitely exposed.

The shots are $*#@. I've had COVID 3 times. The Paxlovid that one takes for COVID is wonderful though. It stops it cold.

I lost count of how many times I've had it. The original strain in January 2020 was the worst. The vax is due to kill me in one week.

News stories from around the world show concern for monkeypox that was absent in 2022, even though 50 mutations were found from the old clade 2.

Oops. Now every case is potentially clade 1b, requiring a DNA test to rule it out.

The costs going forward will be immense.

When all of us who went J-J&J don't die this fall, there will be a LOT of folks who will be due a heaping helping of crow, served with all the pickles you need to get the crow down.

Dennis, Alfa, Me and RELIC for starters, as survivors.
 

Uhhmmm...

Driver, what do you mean by "die this fall"? Also, do you know what Helen means when she says "expiration date"? This is an mpox 1b thread, but I suspect you'uns all are perhaps discussing some Covid related minutiae.

Yes, there has been an undercurrent of COVID discussion on this one.
MY comment referred to when I got my COVID vax and folks telling us that we were going to die in 2 years.
I haven't dug up my ID Card in a while to see where I might be in the COVID Vax Raffle.

Some of the members needed to take the Covid vax to stay employed or for other necessary reasons. They didn't appreciate being told that they're going to die from the vax, and some other members were quite rude to them, telling them they were going to die in x number of months.

That's all that I want to say about that. I hope that's enough of an explanation.

Thanks folks! Makes sense now!

I and my largish extended family have all had every Covid messenger-RNA shot and vaccine possible... So, we shall see indeed.

I've repeatedly said it's a sloppy and vague 5-ish year bell curve. There are no firm dates for anyone's bad outcome, if bad outcome it is to be.
Nah. No bell curve to hide behind. There's some crow, raw unsalted crow, coming.

The mpox vax round won't be offered to anyone with existing smallpox vax. They don't have enough for the young. Even though you can legally be forced, you won't be.

That's the intersection between COVID and monkeypox. Vax eligibility.

I declare myself King of the world and invoke prima nocta....

Just cause someone say you have to do anything, does not mean you have to do it.

You always have a choice.

It might mean death, I know...but that comes one day for all of us.

I have the utmost respect for those who were "forced" to protect, be with loved ones or keep their employment...if they knew it was sketchy but saw no other alternative.

I just live by a different code since my experiences in the sandbox.

I have a pretty good idea of what is to come and I neither like it nor look forward to its coming.

May GOD help us all.

Brazil is in the middle of a huge push for millions of oral (live) polio vaccinations. I think countries with a sudden surge in cases are also pushing live polio vaccinations. Catastrophic Contagion.

Is Rio de Janeiro riddled with monkeypox?The monkeypox virus is crippling the city of Rio de Janeiro, as thousands of cases have been reported in a short period of time, causing major worry.

Does anyone know if there is a source or two for monkey pox odor? I trained my dogs for COVID now I want to train for mpox. It would have to be killed virus of course.

In declaring yourself the King of the world, you took out the King of Spain? Is that why there is now lime Jello on the shelves, here?

There's a city in my state, about 70 miles east of me, known as Little Rio. Legal and non-legal immigrants came in decades ago, and are about 20% of the population. I'll have to try to contact a friend who lives there, if they are hearing about new arrivals fleeing Brazil.

The local hospital is always in a slight panic mode. Just inside the front door there is always a sign saying.."If you've been to any of these countries in the past 6 months..."

Watch lists are made for people like you.


:cmpcf:


Dogs can catch monkeypox.

No one should solicit monkeypox virus in any form as a private citizen.

Singapore to Quarantine Close Contacts of Newer Mpox Strain Cases​

By Karoline Kan
September 04, 2024 at 4:06AM EDT

(Bloomberg) -- Singapore will mandate a three-week quarantine at a designated facility if close contacts of patients infected with the new mpox strain are identified, as the city-state re-introduces Covid-era curbs in a bid to prevent local spread of the mutated virus.

The health ministry will begin contact-tracing once an infection with the more dangerous clade I mpox strain is confirmed, and the case’s close contacts will be placed in a designated government facility for 21 days, which is the incubation period observed in Africa, according to a statement Wednesday.

The city-state hasn’t yet detected the more lethal clade I strain that prompted the World Health Organization in mid-August to declare mpox a global public health emergency, and all 14 mpox cases found in Singapore so far this year were caused by the milder IIb variant.

Singapore is among a handful of countries in the Asia Pacific region that successfully stamped out local transmission of the coronavirus that caused Covid-19 with aggressive curbs including quarantine and relentless contact tracing. The intense response afforded the country a semblance of normalcy early in the pandemic, before the virus evolved to become more infectious, rendering such measures less effective.

To assure the public the mpox response won’t go as far, health minister Ong Ye Kung said the city-state shouldn’t resort to “draconian and very disruptive measures” like the ones imposed for Covid-19, broadcaster CNA reported. “No countries are doing that now,” he said.

“We think this is likely to be a troublesome virus that we can manage,” Ong said. “It will very unlikely lead to the kind of disruption that happened during Covid-19.”

Bavarian Nordic A/S’s Jynneos vaccine has been approved in Singapore for protection against mpox and smallpox. The government will offer it free to people at high risk of exposure, including health care workers and close contacts of confirmed cases, the ministry said.

Singapore has already started screening inbound travelers and crew arriving from places at risk of an outbreak. Mask-wearing isn’t recommended for people who are well, but the ministry will consider the measure if there is evidence of significant respiratory transmission.

July 28, 1899, Commissioners Report. Most of a long list of expenditures were for medicine, supplies, and nursing. They also paid the quarantine guards.

Did similar things for TB.
And THAT is STILL part of the TB response if someone refuses to go on the no-alcohol-diet for TB Meds.
It is NOT negotiable and you can be forced to reside in a med facility in isolation if you do NOT regularly and properly take the TB treatments.
