Fingers crossed. Monkeypox may have hit a brick wall.
When it first started it looked like a rapidly growing exponential spread possibly even airborne but a number of things could have limited its sudden abrupt slowdown in spread. It might not be airborne. Even if most patients are men who have sex with men they emits aerosols and I would have expected a greater…

Carrying different variants or strains simultaneously can lead to crossover and recombinant variants. This is sex for a virus, and potentially a quantum…

Is pox crossover possible? Could viruses be the origin of sex in species?
We know that monkeypox virus does not mutate much (being a DNA virus) but can it recombine or crossover with the monkeypox virus from Nigeria or Congo? And what about other orthopoxviruses in animals, or even the small pox vaccine if they still use cowpow or vaccinia. The problem will be exacerbated if animals get…

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…
