Only queers get monkey pox

The multinational monkeypox outbreak continues to pose a lowrisk to the general public, and, for now, it seems unlikely that
cases will mushroom into a global pandemic, according to the
World Health Organization and the US Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention.
But, experts are concerned that the virus could continue to
spread and that transmission may escape containment without an
urgent and thorough public health response.
The outbreak tally continues to increase rapidly, with hundreds
of cases now reported across at least 23 countries. In an update
released Sunday, May 29, WHO reported 257 confirmed cases and
around 120 suspected cases from 23 countries. Those figures are
already significantly outdated. As of Monday, Our World in Data
reported 555 confirmed cases worldwide. On Tuesday, the United
Kingdom reported 190 cases, up from the 106 that WHO reported
Sunday. Likewise, the US total has increased to 15 cases, up
from 10 reported last week.
In a press briefing last Thursday, CDC Director Rochelle
Walensky said the agency presumes that there is some community
spread of the virus in the US.
Still, in a public presentation guiding clinicians last week,
Agam Rao, a CDC infectious disease specialist and poxvirus
expert, highlighted that the monkeypox virus is not easily
spread. The virus is related to smallpox but causes a relatively
mild disease with a telltale rash and is usually accompanied by
flu-like symptoms. Transmission requires close and prolonged
contact, with the highest risk of spread to health care workers
and the family members and sexual partners of infected people.
"Monkeypox virus does not have the potential to be a pandemic,"
Rao said succinctly. (More information on monkeypox and its
transmission is here.)
So far, many of the cases appear to be in men who have sex with
men (MSM), and the virus appears to be spreading through sexual
networks. But health officials are cautious to avoid spurring
stigma or a false sense of security. The virus can spread to
anyone, and it is not a sexually transmitted infection
specifically.
Moderate risk and continued spread
In its risk assessment Sunday, WHO said the "risk for the
general public appears to be low," and the "overall public
health risk at global level is assessed as moderate," given
widespread cases clustering in countries outside West and
Central Africa, where the virus is endemic in animals.
"The public health risk could become high if this virus exploits
the opportunity to establish itself as a human pathogen and
spreads to groups at higher risk of severe disease such as young
children and immunosuppressed persons," WHO said.
In a public webinar Monday, WHOs technical lead for monkeypox,
Rosamund Lewis, elaborated on that assessment, saying: "At the
moment, we are not concerned of a global pandemic We are
concerned that individuals may acquire this infection through
high-risk exposure if they dont have the information they need
to protect themselves," she added. "And we are concerned that
because the global population is not immune to orthopoxviruses
since the end of smallpox eradication that the virus may attempt
to exploit a niche and spread more easily between people."
Health officials are now racing to raise awareness and step up
outreach programs ahead of Pride Month celebrations in June.
Already spread of the virus has been linked to large events and
parties in Europe as pandemic restrictions eased, Hans Henri
Kluge, WHO Regional Director for Europe, noted in a statement
Tuesday. The virus is suspected to have circulated unrecognized
for weeks or longer. Upcoming festivals and large parties could
provide further opportunities for the outbreak to amplify.
"We do not yet know if we will be able to contain its spread
completely," Kluge said. "For that, we need a significant and
urgent reduction in exposures through clear communication,
community-led action, case isolation during the infectious
period, and effective contact tracing and monitoring."
