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

Monkey Pox, right on time to give Democrats an excuse to cheat in the next election.

WHO on 23 July said that at present, the outbreak has continued
to grow, and there are now more than 16,000 reported cases from
75 countries and territories, and five deaths. Check details
here.

With cases rising rapidly globally, World Health Organization
has declared Monkeypox a global health emergency, which means
the WHO now views the outbreak as a significant enough threat to
global health that a coordinated international response is
needed.

Though this new declaration does not impose requirements on
governments, but requires an attention to take action.
Previously in January 2020, WHO declared Covid-19 outbreak a
global health emergency.

Before looking at the broader aspect, lets get to an insight of
the disease:
What is Monkeypox?
Monkeypox is a viral zoonosis – virus transmitted to humans from
animals – with symptoms similar to those seen in the past in
smallpox patients, but clinically less severe.

The virus of this disease is an an enveloped double-stranded DNA
virus that belongs to the Orthopoxvirus genus of the Poxviridae
family – having two distinct genetic clades of the Monkeypox
virus: the central African (Congo Basin) clade and the west
African clade.

As per details, the Congo Basin clade has historically caused
more severe disease and was thought to be more transmissible.

Transmission routes:
a) Animal to human transmission: Animal-to-human (zoonotic)
transmission can occur from direct contact with the blood,
bodily fluids, or cutaneous or mucosal lesions of infected
animals. The natural reservoir of Monkeypox has not yet been
identified, however, rodents are the most likely. Eating
inadequately cooked meat and other animal products of infected
animals is a possible risk factor. People living in or near
forested areas may have indirect or low-level exposure to
infected animals.

b) Human-to-human transmission: This sort of transmission can
result from close contact with respiratory secretions, skin
lesions of an infected person or recently contaminated objects.
Normally the transmission from droplet respiratory particles
requires prolonged face-to-face contact, which puts health
workers, household members and other close contacts of active
cases at greater risk.

The transmission can also occur via the placenta from mother to
fetus (which can lead to congenital Monkeypox) or during close
contact during and after birth. Though close physical contact is
a well-known risk factor for transmission, it is unclear at this
time if Monkeypox can be transmitted specifically through sexual
transmission routes.

Signs and Symptoms:
Usually the incubation period of Monkeypox is from 6 to 13 days
but can range from 5 to 21 days. It can be divided into two
periods.

a) The invasion period: characterized by fever, intense
headache, lymphadenopathy – swelling of the lymph nodes, back
pain, myalgia – muscle aches, and intense asthenia – lack of
energy. Also, Lymphadenopathy is a distinctive feature of
Monkeypox compared to other diseases.

b) Skin Eruption: It begins within 1–3 days of appearance of
fever. Its rashes tend to be more concentrated on the face and
extremities rather than on the trunk. It affects the face, and
palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Oral mucous membranes,
genitalia, conjunctivae, and cornea are affected.

The rash evolves sequentially from macules to papules, vesicles,
pustules and crusts which dry up and fall off. In severe cases,
lesions can coalesce until large sections of skin slough off.

Duration:
Monkeypox is usually a self-limited disease with the symptoms
lasting from 2 to 4 weeks.

Complications:
It includes secondary infections, bronchopneumonia, sepsis,
encephalitis, and infection of the cornea with ensuing loss of
vision. The extent to which asymptomatic infection may occur is
still unknown.

Diagnosis of Monkeypox:
1) Other rash illnesses, such as chickenpox, measles, bacterial
skin infections, scabies, syphilis, and medication-associated
allergies must be considered for clinical differential diagnosis.

2) Lymphadenopathy during the prodromal stage of illness can be
a clinical feature.

3) If suspected, health workers should collect an appropriate
sample, send it to the labs, and test the patient with
Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for accuracy.

4) Serology and antigen detection methods are therefore not
recommended for diagnosis or case investigation.

Treatment of Monkeypox:
1) Offer clinical care to patient.

2) He/she should offered fluids and food to maintain adequate
nutritional status and secondary bacterial infections should be
treated as indicated.

Global scenario:
WHO on 23 July said that at present, the outbreak has continued
to grow, and there are now more than 16 thousand reported cases
from 75 countries and territories, and five deaths.
