Some officials now say monkeypox elimination is unlikely in US

The disease’s spread is slowing but the virus is so widespread that elimination is unlikely, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said. That conclusion was in a recent CDC report, and echoed Friday by Marc Lipsitch, director of science in the agency’s disease-forecasting center.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.

Dr. Tom Inglesby, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, agreed that it’s unlikely that spread of monkeypox will stop in the U.S. anytime soon, but he said it’s still possible in the long term. 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.There have been more than 67,000 cases reported in countries that have not historically seen monkeypox. The U.S. has the most infections of any country — more than 25,600. One U.S. death has been attributed to monkeypox.

Hm. The history and pathway of this dreaded outbreak is nearly identical to that of HIV/AIDS🤔 We should be looking for a common thread

And just like AID's before it 100% preventable

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. 🤷🏼‍♂️
