Los expertos atribuyen la caída a una variedad de factores. La vacuna contra la viruela del simio, con una tasa de eficacia del 85%, ayudó a frenar el virus.

New world record — More than 1,000 daily #monkeypox cases (7 days average). Those who said #MPXV would fizzle out soon are plain wrong. This fall school year will need radically new / more safety mitigations.

2) the #monkeypox virus is very persistent in the environment. And contagiousness before overt rash symptoms makes control much harder than people thought.
3) With the environmental stability of the #monkeypox virus, that adds many more potential ways of infecting others. Look 👀 at how many tricky ways it can spread 👇
⚠️WORRISOME TRANSMISSION—We need to get sober on how & why #monkeypox is tricky to contain: thread🧵below. Many reasons outlined by DHS report:
📌MPXV is “very stable in environment”—for “days/weeks”
📌Human asymptomatic contagiousness documented *before visible rash*

2) 📌Furthermore, to protect against #monkeypox—doctors and nurses are recommended to wear N95 masks plus gown and gloves.
📌Decontamination protocols requires using bleach or using (harsh) quaternary ammonium reagents — which are chemicals found in pretty aggressive cleaners.

Monkeypox products we ordered and why: a brief and capitalist (ugh) thread 🧵/
Before I list all this stuff, our source is list Q from the EPA. #MPXV is Tier one so all of these products are from that list.

1. Short #MPXV thread, based on data from @WHO_Europe & @ECDC:
The Euro #monkeypox outbreak continues to grow. Of +5200 cases reported here, 29 were women — which seems to be an increase. 15 health workers among cases; not clear if exposure was on the job.

2. This may not be new-new, but I haven't noticed this previously: @WHO has pushed back the date on its case definition for suspected #monkeypox cases. They'd previously said March 15; now saying since Jan. 1. Suggests they believe the outbreak started earlier.
3. These regular #monkeypox updates from @WHO_Europe & @ECDC_EU contain really useful information, like this breakdown of symptomology among cases.
A couple weeks back we made a quick guide to the #mpxv #monkeypox course of illness but perhaps that would be helpful here in our twitter community of mass infection resisters. 🧵…1/11
New study about the persistence of #MPXV on surfaces: a visual thread:
We already know #MPXV #MonkeypoxVirus can live for 35 weeks at around 40F (4C) thanks to this 2007 study: semanticscholar.org/paper/Environm…
Researchers studied two #MPXV patients in Germany last month (eurosurveillance.org/content/10.280…) and found virus everywhere in their rooms
We talked to our health department yesterday about #MPXV #monkeypox and y’all, the future is not good. Essentially, because the public refused to do 10 day quarantines they dropped to 5 hoping they would at least do 5. This is the same with mpxv.
They said “for now vax is for close contacts”
Us: ok but don’t fomites live on surfaces at least 24 hours?
Then: yeah
Us: ok so what about when someone with #mpxv goes in Kroger and touches carts and products with open sores?

1. A #MPXV 🧵
The director of @WHO_Europe issued a stark warning today about the state of the #monkeypox outbreak. Case counts have tripled in Europe in the past 2 weeks, @hans_kluge said.

2. @hans_kluge also noted while the majority of cases are still men who have sex with men, infections are being reported outside of that demographic. There is no reason #monkeypox will restrict itself to spread within a single group. Given the opportunity to transmit, it will.
3. @hans_kluge appeared to predict the #monkeypox outbreak will be declared a public health emergency of international concern sometime soon. An expert committee met last week & advised against declaring a #PHEIC for now.

Capítulo 1: El pasado sin viruela
En 1980 la #OMS declaraba a la viruela erradicada del planeta y la vacunación se suspendía. Sin embargo, científicos ya habían descubierto un pariente cercano a la viruela infectando monos en cautiverio. En ese momento se le llamó a la enfermedad: viruela de mono.

1. #MPXV 🧵
@WHO has issued an update on the #monkeypox situation. In it they announce they're no longer going to report cases from the outbreak outside of Africa; rather, they're going to report all reported cases of/deaths from MPX together.
@WHO has issued an update on the #monkeypox situation. In it they announce they're no longer going to report cases from the outbreak outside of Africa; rather, they're going to report all reported cases of/deaths from MPX together.
2. The rationale is clear: why should #MPXV cases in some countries be treated differently — treated as if they are more important — than #monkeypox cases in other countries? Makes sense & is just.
3. On the other hand, will this make it harder to track the outbreak? Isn't it possible there may be differences in cases that are caused by continuous human-2-human spread rather than animal-2-human events where spread stops after 1 or a few cases? Even if this is a DNA virus?

Was muss ich über #Affenpocken wissen?
1. Was sind Affenpocken❓
👀
Affenpocken sind eine seltene, vermutlich vor allem von Nagetieren auf den Menschen übertragene Viruserkrankung. Übertragungen von Mensch-zu-Mensch sind selten, aber möglich, vor allem bei engem Kontakt.

Affenpocken sind eine seltene, vermutlich vor allem von Nagetieren auf den Menschen übertragene Viruserkrankung. Übertragungen von Mensch-zu-Mensch sind selten, aber möglich, vor allem bei engem Kontakt.
#Affenpocken werden ausgelöst durch das Affenpockenvirus Orthopoxvirus simiae (auch #Monkeypox virus, #MPXV) aus der Gattung Orthopoxvirus. Das Virus ist verwandt mit den klassischen humanen Pockenviren (Variola, #Smallpox)
#Affenpocken beim Menschen wurden erstmals 1970 in der Demokratischen Republik Kongo bei einem 9 Monate alten Jungen identifiziert.
Im Frühjahr 2003 kam es zum ersten Nachweis von Affenpocken außerhalb des afrikanischen Kontinents.

Ein paar Gedanken & Informationen zum aktuellen Ausbruch des #Affenpocken #monkeypox Virus (MPXV).
Bislang sind weltweit 66 Fälle außerhalb von Afrika bekannt. 🧵
Bislang sind weltweit 66 Fälle außerhalb von Afrika bekannt. 🧵
MPXV ist dem Pockenvirus (Variola) ähnlich, zirkuliert primär in Tieren (v.a. Nager) & führt in Afrika zu kleineren Ausbrüchen & zu sporadisch exportierten Infektionen. Der aktuelle Ausbruch deutet auf eine veränderte Mensch-zu-Mensch-Übertragbarkeit hin.

rki.de/DE/Content/Inf…
Die Pocken wurden vor >40J durch eine weltweite Impfkampagne ausgerottet. Die Pockenimpfung schützt auch (ca. 85%) gegen #Affenpocken.
Die nachlassende Bevölkerungsimmunität seit Ende der Pockenimpfungen trägt vermutlich zum aktuellen MPXV Ausbruch bei.
