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.

#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?
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…
