MonkeyPox
Tuesday, August 2, 2022 at 3:28PM California and New York have just declared emergencies for MonkeyPox infections. Here is what the CDC has to say about this usually rare disease. The Cleveland Clinic here too. Exposure to disease rash eruption can take two to 21 days, with the disease rash duration 2-4 weeks.
There is a vaccine for MonkeyPox. ref But, it has to be taken within the first four days. What first four days? After symptoms erupt? The vaccine will prevent further development but it is currently in short supply. So far, this disease is mainly limited to one special group, similar to the AIDS epidemic, but with close exposure, anyone may be infected by this virus.
Another condition that warrants building up the immune system to help fight off viruses. article Just in the very early stages, the new Hamburg virus, a relative of Ebola, may also become a pest in a little while. With airplane travel, viruses can hop on board and travel from Country to Country quite easily.
You might remember that at the beginning of Covi-19, it turned up in Italy from a Chinese travel group. That is why Italy was overcome before most other Countries. In the US, a Washington State Nursing Home suffered early, but a carrier person was not found.
