May 23 - S3x at two Europe raves may explain unusual monkeypox outbreaks, says WHO expert

A longtime World Health Organization (WHO) infectious disease expert said the recent outbreaks of monkeypox may be explained by s*xual transmission from two recent raves in Europe.

David Heymann,*who chaired a meeting of the World Health Organization’s advisory group on infectious disease threats on Friday to discuss the outbreak, told The a*sociated Press that the raves held in Spain and Belgium is the leading theory to explain the disease’s recent unprecedented spread.

*“It’s very possible there was somebody who got infected, developed lesions on the genitals, hands or somewhere else, and then spread it to others when there was s*xual or close, physical contact,” Heymann said. “And then there were these international events that seeded the outbreak around the world, into the U.S. and other European countries.”

Heymann called the outbreaks “a random event.”

Monkeypox has remained endemic in animals in areas of Africa, a main source of outbreaks in the region that has not usually spread across borders.*

But now, recent cases in the U.S. and Europe have caused concern. Belgium, the site of one of the raves, has*implemented*a mandatory three-week quarantine for confirmed patients, but President*Biden*said he doesn’t expect the U.S. to follow suit.

Heymann, who also serves as*a professor of infectious diseases at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, also pointed to the smallpox vaccine shown to be highly effective against monkeypox infection.

This is not COVID,” Heymann told the AP. “We need to slow it down, but it does not spread in the air and we have vaccines to protect against it.”

Massachusetts public health officials last week confirmed a case of monkeypox in a person who had recently traveled to Canada, followed by a confirmed case in New York City and a*suspected*case in Broward County over the weekend.

The cases have left infectious disease experts perplexed as they investigate the sources of the outbreaks. WHO*said*on Saturday that the cases — which span 12 non-endemic countries — have mainly been identified among men who have s*x with men seeking care in primary care and s*xual health clinics.

In total, WHO said it is tracking 92 confirmed cases and 28 possible cases

COVID started in China. Right away, the Chinese started making conspiracies about Americans bringing it and ofc, Africans bringing it from Africa.

Even the Africans that were in China before the pandemic started, the Chinese were kicking black people out of hotels and not allowing them into any establishments. fu*ked up sh*t. Yes, this country is racist, sure. However, take your a*s to China and you'll see how worse it is.
