  • MPX update 23 June 2022

    MPX update 23 June 2022

    There are now 3552 cases of #MPX in the world. Doubling time seems to have stabilized at 9-10 days. See previous posts to see estimates forecast. It is confirmed in 43 countries, unconfirmed in another 12 countries. This new variant of Monkeypox is now appearing in countries in Africa, like Ghana (18 confirmed cases) and…

  • MPX virus in 41 countries confirmed + 13 suspected. 3157 cases. NTI estimate on target.

    MPX virus in 41 countries confirmed + 13 suspected. 3157 cases. NTI estimate on target.

    Monkeypox is in 41 countries now confirmed plus another 13 unconfirmed. The total number of confirmed cases is 3157. 3275 if we include the unconfirmed suspected cases. Doubling is every 9 to 10 days. It seems to have stabilised on that figure for the last few weeks. If I take 9.5 days as the doubling…

    Monkeypox update 21 June 2022. Non-reporting atm.

    Looking at the world data you would be excused to think that the monkeypox virus #3MXP was under control, but looking at individual countries you can see that most countries are not reporting data (“doing a McGowan”). There is no way they could all have had no new cases for 3 to 4 days at…

  • CDC USA goes kinky with monkeypox. Have sex with clothes on. No kissing. Have virtual sex and masturbate from a safe distance.

    CDC USA goes kinky with monkeypox. Have sex with clothes on. No kissing. Have virtual sex and masturbate from a safe distance.

    Yes, this is the latest advice from the CDC in the USA. Masks on or off? Off for extra risqué I guess. https://www.insider.com/cdc-monkeypox-sex-advice-socially-distanced-masturbation-2022-6

  • 3MPXV is the new name for the current circulating Monkeypox virus

    3MPXV is the new name for the current circulating Monkeypox virus

    Scientist and the WHO want to rename the Monkeypox virus to remove stigma about where it come from. The proposal is to call it to hMPXV, with h a number designating where it originated from: 1 = congo clade (where first found in 1970), 2 = west african clade, and 3 = now strain/variants with…

  • #MPX lands in Perth

    #MPX arrives into Perth, Western Australia. I believe there may be asymptomatic carriers (no rash) and aerosol may be a means of transmission (close contact-ish, semi droplet), but nowhere as bad as SARS-CoV2. Having said that, I do not think it is as infectious, and most people will have physical signs of #MPX. Australia now…

  • How monkeypox could have mutated so much. Did a human defence mechanism against viruses help generate it?

    How monkeypox could have mutated so much. Did a human defence mechanism against viruses help generate it?

    Lots of scientist have recently been suggesting that monkeypox may have been circulating in the community since 2017, but this fails to address the question as to why so many mutations have taken place, when it generally mutates on average only once a year. Monkeypox mutates less than SARS2-CoV2 because it is a DNA virus…

  • Monkeypox cases freeze last 2 days

    This is weird. For something that was spreading like wildfire the there have hardly been any number of new cases in the last 2 days. I do not think it is because it was a weekend because it did not happen in the previous weekends. Maybe is is a MSM thing: men having sex with…

  • Monkeypox update

    Monkeypox update

    Now 900 confirmed cases in 28 countries. 971 confirmed and suspected cases in 39 countries. Australia has 5 cases. Now more than doubling every 5 days. Projecting from this, in 50 days we will have 900 x 210 = 921,600 cases (24 July), 1.8+ million (31 July), 943 million by 12 September 2022, 1.8+ billion…

  • Monkeypox update, 1.25 million in 8 weeks

    Monkeypox update, 1.25 million in 8 weeks

    Monkeypox is still being downplayed by the WHO and main stream media. As of today 2 June 2022, we have had 700 confirmed cases and 909 confirmed and suspected cases. I believe some countries are quarantining people for 21 days like Belgium and the UK. So far it has been detected confirmed and unconfirmed in…
