DOOM: Monkeypox

[AtW]

"People with monkeypox symptoms are being ordered to isolate at home, amid a near-doubling in cases.

The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) has issued new guidance in a bid to stem transmission in the community.

Until now, those with suspected or confirmed cases of the infectious disease have been urged to call 111 or seek advice from a GP.

But health officials issued new advice on Monday, as an extra 71 cases were identified in England, taking the UK total confirmed cases to 179."

FFS, why this isn't default advice or better - strict legal requirement, which makes sense when infectious illness (with possible 10% fatality rate)

I was tickled that they have now issued advice not to have sex while you have symptoms. I mean, how does anyone need telling and how is anyone even getting laid with it...

"Monkeypox declared global emergency by World Health Organisation

There have now been more than 14,000 cases reported, and five deaths, from 71 WHO member states

The World Health Organization declared monkeypox a global health emergency on Saturday, signalling a greater global response to an outbreak that has spread to at least 75 countries in just a few weeks.

Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the WHO’s director general, took the unprecedented step of overruling a panel of advisers to make the designation.

“We have an outbreak that has spread around the world rapidly through new modes of transmission, about which we understand too little, and which meets the criteria”, he told reporters."
