The #UK has quietly done an incredible job of fighting #mpox – but it’s no thanks to the government. It took the #LGBTQ+ community, educated by the trauma of HIV and Aids, to fill a vacuum left by government failure. @OwenJones explains how thanks to the determination of #queer campaigners, this public health crisis was overcome – at least, for now. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2023/mar/02/uk-mpox-response-queer-campaigners-lgbtq-hiv-aids

Recently, after a week in which 2,789 Americans died of #COVID-19, President Joe #Biden proclaimed that “the #pandemic is over.” Anthony #Fauci described the controversy around the proclamation as a matter of “semantics,” but the facts we are living with can speak for themselves. #COVID still kills roughly as many Americans every week as died on 9/11. It is on track to kill at least 100,000 a year—triple the typical toll of the flu. Despite gross undercounting, more than 50,000 infections are being recorded every day. The CDC estimates that 19 million adults have long COVID. Things have undoubtedly improved since the peak of the crisis, but calling the pandemic “over” is like calling a fight “finished” because your opponent is punching you in the ribs instead of the face.

The Pandemic’s Legacy Is Already Clear

All of this will happen again.

Evidence of human-to-dog transmission of monkeypox virus - The Lancet
To the best of our knowledge, the kinetics of symptom onset in both patients and, subsequently, in their dog suggest human-to-dog transmission of monkeypox virus. Given the dog's skin and mucosal lesions as well as the positive monkeypox virus PCR results from anal and oral swabs, we hypothesise a real canine disease, not a simple carriage of the virus by close contact with humans or airborne transmission (or both). Our findings should prompt debate on the need to isolate pets from monkeypox virus-positive individuals. We call for further investigation on secondary transmissions via pets.

đŸ‡ș🇩 Meaghan Kall auf Twitter: „So. The Spanish man snapped on train that went viral did NOT have Monkeypox. He has neurofibromatosis, which causes tumors and is not contagious.   He never spoke to @arturohenriques Do you see now? The gutter journos are after likes, not facts. https://t.co/0XwRBvrOpE“ / Twitter
