    Very happy to see Swallwell fail after his immature ignorant behavior with a Chink whore spy.

    New Mexico is known for their filthy hospitaility practices.
    Most hotels or motels do not change their bedding until it has
    been used at least three times.

    New Mexico has confirmed its first "probable case" of monkeypox,
    the state Department of Health announced Monday.

    An unidentified patient who had recently traveled out of state
    underwent testing Friday and a subsequent test to confirm the
    positive result was underway at the Centers for Disease Control
    and Prevention, the department said. The patient, meanwhile, is
    isolating at home and "doing well," according to a news release.

    An international outbreak of moneypox, a viral illness, had
    risen to 8,238 cases in 57 countries as of Monday, per the CDC.
    The United States has seen hundreds of cases across more than 30
    states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

    Symptoms of the illness include fever, head and muscle aches,
    swollen lymph nodes and a rash that may resemble pimples or
    blisters. Most cases recover but approximately one in 10 cases
    proves fatal, the World Health Organization has said.

    It can be spread through contact with a person who has the
    disease or clothing or bedding used by an infected person. The
    CDC said early data suggested sexual contact has been a
    significant factor in the recent spread. Kissing or other
    contact with bodily fluids can transmit the disease. Monkeypox
    can also be contracted, health officials say, through contact
    with a wild animal, living or dead, that is unique to Africa —
    or even from using a product derived from those animals.

    The New Mexico Department of Health advised Monday that symptoms
    typically begin within 21 days of exposure and last two to four
    weeks. The advice upon testing positive is to isolate at home
    until scabs have fallen off and fresh skin has formed over the
    sites. Vaccines against the disease are available and
    recommended by the CDC for anyone who has been exposed.

    The DOH said anyone exhibiting symptoms should isolate
    themselves from others and contact their healthcare provider for
    monkeypox testing. Public health offices can assist those
    without a provider or health insurance, and can be looked up
    online at www.nmhealth.org/location/public/.

    Because the symptoms can often resemble those of syphilis, which
    is far more common than monkeypox, the state also recommended
    free testing for sexually transmitted diseases via
    www.nmstdtest.org.

    The department did not state whether the New Mexico resident who
    tested positive had been in contact with others since returning
    from their travel or if there was evidence for further community
    spread.

    Acting state Health Secretary David Scrase said in a news
    release that monkeypox is rare and "does not spread as easily
    among people," but warned nonetheless that "anyone who has close
    contact with someone with monkeypox is at risk of infection,
    which makes this a public health concern for all of us."
