Monkeypox cases confirmed in UK, one case in Massachusetts

[Winehole23]

Possible community transmission in the UK, one possible case in MA.

It isn't super transmissible and the smallpox vaccine does confer some protection against it -- luckily for boomers and some Gen Xers. Vaccination in the US for variola stopped in 1972.

~10% cfr though, and it is disfiguring.

"They haven't told me the level of exposure yet, but it is something that everybody should be concerned about," Mr. Biden said at Osan Air Base in South Korea, where he met with American troops before flying to Japan during his first official visit to Asia as president.

Stop linking monkeypox to gay and bisexual men, disease experts say: This virus spreads via contact, regardless of who you are
https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/stop-linking-monkeypox-gay-bisexual-224232352.html


But one thing that public health experts have noticed is that most of the infected patients — in fact all but one of the patients whose sex has been revealed so far — are men.


Typically, monkeypox rashes tend to break out on the face, palms of the hands, and bottoms of the feet. But Swedish health authorities said on Thursday that "in European cases, the skin problems have often been reported to be localized to the genitals, groin, and the skin around the anal opening."

Endemic monkeypox in the US would be a bad thing, no?


Under the current system, specimens must be sent to one of 74 laboratories across the country before being sent to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Experts who spoke with STAT argue the United States should be testing more broadly for monkeypox, allowing more labs to become part of the process.

“Every single day that we’re not fixing the testing bottleneck, every single day that we’re not getting on top of getting the information out to the networks that need to be aware of this, is time that we are losing in terms of that window closing on containment,” said Boghuma Titanji, an assistant professor of infectious diseases at Emory University.

Titanji, who in her native Cameroon was involved in a monkeypox outbreak investigation, said the U.S. case count — markedly lower than other similar countries — is almost certainly an underestimate of how much transmission is actually happening here. The United Kingdom announced Monday that it has now detected 302 cases. Canada reported 77 cases as of last Friday.

(https://www.statnews.com/2022/06/03/genetic-data-indicate-at-least-two-separate-monkeypox-outbreaks-underway-suggesting-wider-spread/)
“The U.S. probably has as many cases as Canada or the U.K.,” she said. “We’re just not testing enough to be able to reliably say that there are only 25 cases. I think we need to be testing way more than we’re doing,” she said. After STAT spoke with Titanji the CDC updated the monkeypox case count from 25 to 31 cases; 13 states have detected cases.

Jennifer Nuzzo, director of Brown University’s new Center for Pandemic Preparedness and Response, said the current system makes sense for a smaller outbreak, but doesn’t suit the needs of clinicians who should be actively looking for monkeypox infections.

“This two-step process is not going to scale,” she said in an interview. “This is a cumbersome process. When you have something that’s spreading in ways that we’re not able to see — in the sense that we’re finding cases without known contacts or known links of transmission — it really feels like we’re in a different mode of the response.”

STAT reached out to the CDC to ask if it was considering changing the testing protocol, but did not receive a reply as of the time of this publication. In late May the agency said it was weighing (https://www.statnews.com/2022/05/27/monkeypox-test-capacity-cdc-considers-expanding/) what it would take to expand testing capacity to other laboratories.

"With the current demand we can easily supply the global market. We have a couple of million doses in bulk that we can put into vials and make sure that the current outbreak is handled," he told AFP in an interview.


Bavarian Nordic has an annual production capacity of 30 million vaccine doses.


The Danish company's smallpox vaccine, marketed as Imvanex in Europe, Jynneos in the US and Imvamune in Canada, is a third-generation serum (a live vaccine that does not replicate in the human body).


It has been licensed in Europe since 2013.

[Winehole23]

For many of the confirmed cases, health officials don't know how the person caught the virus. Those infected haven't traveled or come into contact with another infected person. That means the virus is spreading in some communities and cities, cryptically.

"The fact that we can't reconstruct the transmission chain means that we are likely missing a lot of links in that chain," Jennifer Nuzzo, an epidemiologist at Brown University, says. "And that means that those infected people haven't had the opportunity to receive medicines to help them recover faster and not develop severe symptoms.

"But it also means that they're possibly spreading the virus without knowledge of the fact that they're infected," she adds.https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/06/25/1107416457/monkeypox-outbreak-in-us

Those fears were realized Thursday with the publication of a case report of monkeypox in a child in the Netherlands. The boy, between the ages of 5 and 10, developed a rash following a vacation to Turkey and has since recovered. But the Amsterdam-based medical team evaluating him was stumped as to how the boy became infected.

FURTHER READING
Everything CDC wants you to know about monkeypox and the current risk level
Given that the current outbreak has largely been linked to sexual activity among MSM, the doctors carefully ruled out the possibility of sexual abuse, thoroughly documenting the boy's history and testing him for a slew of other sexually transmitted infections, which consistently came up negative. The boy also did not have monkeypox lesions in his genital area, which has frequently been seen among infected people in the MSM community.

Its time to panic and stock up on saran wrap!it's not time to panic, but it is time to seek good information about a pathogen that has reached the stage of community transmission in the US. For the time being, containment has failed.

[Winehole23]

It's somewhat concerning that two years after a world-historical pandemic involving a novel pathogen, the CDC gets flat-footed by a foreseeable and supposedly planned for scenario, namely, the sudden emergence of a smallpox-like infection in the US.

It's not an STI. Once it gets in schools, Katie bar the door.

Skin contact and bodily fluids are vectors

Not aireborne,. So far

[Winehole23]

I asked if you blamed the spread of a disease on a certain subset of people. Are you claiming to not do that either?No, I don't blame the spread of disease on people either. Owing to the long latency of monkeypox (10-14 days), infected people usually have no idea they're infected with or transmitting the disease. Similar is true of AIDS.

[Winehole23]

Odd detail, conflicts with recent CDC statements


MonkeypoxAfter zoonotic transmission, monkeypox spread from person to person is principally respiratory; contact with infectious skin lesions or scabs is another, albeit less common, means of person-to-person spread. African rodents and primates may harbor the virus and infect humans, but the reservoir host is unknown.

DHS fact sheet


• MPXV, like all OPVs, is very stable in the environment. Theseviruses can be stable for days to weeks under somecircumstances.
• MPXV can survive in scabs for months to years.
• MPXV is resistant to desiccation in hot and cold environments.
• MPXV may be stable for days to weeks in water, soil, and onrefrigerated food.
• MPXV is susceptible to inactivation under acidic conditions


• The virus enters the body through broken skin, the respiratory tract,and other non-respiratory mucous membranes.
• Human-to-human transmission is thought to occur primarilythrough respiratory droplets, direct contact with body fluids/lesionmaterial, and fomites contaminated with lesion material.
• Based on available evidence, rates of droplet transmission inthis outbreak do not appear to be different from prioroutbreaks.
• New research suggests that the current outbreak strain may haveaccumulated mutations that increase its transmissibility. However,there is not yet enough evidence to suggest that these dramaticallyincrease the R0 of the virus.
• The basic reproductive number (R0) of monkeypox is generallyestimated to be between 0.57 to a maximum of 1.25. However, anR0 for the current outbreak has not been determined.
• Evidence suggests that the transmission rate of MPXV hasincreased over time due to declining immunity in the populationafter the end of smallpox vaccination in the general public.
• Direct contact among men who have sex with men (MSM) currentlyhas been cited as a source of a significant number of the infectionsin the current outbreakhttps://www.dhs.gov/sites/default/files/2022-07/22_0712_st_monkeypox_mql.pdf

I took six years each of science and math at a STEM intensive high-school, admittedly it wasn't my metier, but I placed out of most of the biology and chemistry I might have been capable of completing in college, 15 credit hours or so.

I don't recall saying the CDC followed the science, what I was trying to say -- I think it was fairly clear -- is that the CDC got it wrong. That East Asia's hunches were better than the putative science of our go to public health institution.

CDC quietly admits 95% of monkeypox cases are men that have sex with men they just don't want to publicly admit it so as not to stigmatize men who have sex with men.

[Winehole23]

Given limited testing, cases from nearly all other risk groups are excluded from assessment unless they progress to full blown infection. The stats show what they're testing, gay men. Pretending that gay men only are getting it and spreading it excludes everybody else getting it spreading it anyway.

Once it gets into an animal reservoir, it pretty much becomes an endemic threat. Focusing on who's got it now is just a snapshot.

Are cases in women and children being missed?

A persistent misconception is that cases among women and children are going undiagnosed because they aren’t being tested.

While there have been a small number of pediatric cases, there's no evidence of sustained transmission, according to numerous national and regional health agencies.

Dawn O’Connell, the assistant secretary for preparedness and response at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, said on a call with reporters in July that monkeypox testing was being conducted outside of gay and bisexual men, “and we’re not seeing many positives.”

On Aug. 10, North Carolina health authorities reported that 30 women have been tested for monkeypox in the state. None had the virus.

Reports on the outbreak from the United Kingdom Health Security Agency also refute that substantial cases in women have gone undiagnosed. In the U.K., the test-positivity rate in men is about 50%, compared with 2% among women and less than 1% among children. A recent report from the agency indicated that the vast difference between men’s and women’s test-positivity rates has remained consistent for months.

Throughout the 2022 outbreak, official reports from national and regional health authorities and the WHO, as well as a number of peer-reviewed published papers, have consistently found that monkeypox is overwhelmingly transmitting via sexual contact between men.

An Aug. 5 CDC report found that, through July 22, 99% of cases were among men, 94% of whom reported recent sexual contact with males. WHO has reported that 98.7% of confirmed cases globally are in males. Of the cases with information about sexual partners, 97.2% are in men who have sex with men.

On July 26, an international group of researchers released a report projecting that men who have sex with men would remain the only high-risk group for monkeypox infection in the current multi-country outbreak. The virus would be much more likely to hit transmission dead-ends in other groups, the scientists wrote. The paper is a preprint and has not yet been peer-reviewed.

CDC not so much into disease control anymore.


Some U.S. health officials are conceding that monkeypox is probably not going away anytime soon.
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, (https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/cases-data/technical-report/report-3.html) 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.
“It’s in many geographic locations within the country” as well as in other countries, Lipsitch told The Associated Press. “There’s no clear path in our mind to complete elimination domestically.”
