The spread of monkeypox in the U.S. is slowing but the virus is so widespread that elimination is unlikely, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said.

A physician assistant prepares a syringe with the monkeypox vaccine for a patient during a vaccination clinic Friday, Aug. 19, 2022, in New York.

Lipsitch hesitated to say monkeypox is permanently here to stay, but he said it stands to be a continuing threat for the next few years. The CDC report contained some good news: The U.S. outbreak seems to have peaked in early August. The average number of daily cases being reported — fewer than 150 — is about a third what it was reported in the middle of the summer, and officials expect the decline will continue for at least the next several weeks.

Monkeypox is endemic in parts of Africa, where people have been infected through bites from rodents or small animals, but it wasn’t considered a disease that spreads easily among people until May, when infections emerged in Europe and the U.S.

Some U.S. health officials are shutting down funeral homes now. We were endlessly harangued over vaccines, masks, social distancing, & lockdowns despite none of those things making any difference with covid transmission. But apparently it’s too much or too embarrassing to tell gay dudes not to engage in orgies with complete strangers. 🤷🏼‍♂️
