Some, like AIDS, are really very fragile and almost need mucus-to-blood exposure bc they die when they get just a little cold or dry. Most often even mucus-to-mucus exposure, like kissing, isn't enough to spread the virus. Some, like measles, are hardy little buggers that can float in the air as naked little virus particles and still remain infectious for hours. Most are somewhere in-between.



Mpox transmissibility is somewhere in between.

In the study, the stability of MPXV on different kinds of commonly contacted surfaces was determined. MPXV was observed to have a surface-dependent stability pattern. Viable virus was detected on both glass and stainless steel for up to 5 days, and on plastic surfaces for up to 3 days. In contrast, no viable MPXV was detected on wooden board and cardboard, which are porous and water-absorbent surfaces, after 1 and 2 days of incubation, respectively.

Mpox isn't commonly spread thru contact with surfaces. It usually takes skin to lesion contact, or prolonged (>4hrs, there must have been one case history where a person claims not to have touched the infected person. "We were only talking, honest!") face to face talking.

Seems like the CDC is going nuts over Mpox, recommending that you shouldn't sweep areas where an infected person has been bc you "might" raise virus particles into the air, and recommending N95s and HEPA filters.


BUT, UNLIKE CHICKENPOX OR COVID, MPOX ISN'T AIRBORNE. Unless someone sneezes into your mouth and eyes, which would be really bad luck.

They were deemed essentially worthless if not a net negative just recently when WB did a $9.1 Billion write-down.

What's Really Happening With Monkeypox
Tuesday, Aug 20, 2024 - 02:40 PM

Authored by David Bell via the Brownstone Institute,

The World Health Organization (WHO) acted as expected this week and declared Mpox a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). So, a problem in a small number of African countries that has killed about the same number of people this year as die every four hours from tuberculosis has come to dominate international headlines. This is raising a lot of angst from some circles against the WHO.

While angst is warranted, it is mostly misdirected. The WHO and the IHR emergency committee they convened had little real power – they are simply following a script written by their sponsors. The African CDC, which declared an emergency a day earlier, is in a similar position. Mpox is a real disease and needs local and proportionate solutions. But the problem it is highlighting is much bigger than Mpox or the WHO, and understanding this is essential if we are to fix it.

Mpox, previously called Monkeypox, is caused by a virus thought to normally infect African rodents such as rats and squirrels. It fairly frequently passes to, and between, humans. In humans, its effects range from very mild illness to fever and muscle pains to severe illness with its characteristic skin rash, and sometimes death. Different variants, called ‘clades,’ produce slightly different symptoms. It is passed by close body contact including sexual activity, and the WHO declared a PHEIC two years ago for a clade that was mostly passed by men having sex with men.

The current outbreaks [the current clade] involve sexual transmission but also other close contact such as within households, expanding its potential for harm. Children are affected and suffer the most severe outcomes, perhaps due to issues of lower prior immunity and the effects of malnutrition and other illnesses.

Reality in DRC

The current PHEIC was mainly precipitated by the ongoing outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), though there are known outbreaks in nearby countries covering a number of clades. About 500 people have died from Mpox in DRC this year, over 80% of them under 15 years of age. In that same period, about 40,000 people in DRC, mostly children under 5 years, died from malaria. The malaria deaths were mainly due to lack of access to very basic commodities like diagnostic tests, antimalarial drugs, and insecticidal bed nets, as malaria control is chronically underfunded globally. Malaria is nearly always preventable or treatable if sufficiently resourced.

During this same period in which 500 people died from Mpox in DRC, hundreds of thousands also died in DRC and surrounding African countries from tuberculosis, HIV/AIDS, and the impacts of malnutrition and unsafe water. Tuberculosis alone kills about 1.3 million people globally each year, which is a rate about 1,500 times higher than Mpox in 2024.

The population of DRC is also facing increasing instability characterized by mass rape and massacres, in part due to a scramble by warlords to service the appetite of richer countries for the components of batteries. These in turn are needed to support the Green Agenda of Europe and North America. This is the context in which the people of DRC and nearby populations, which obviously should be the primary decision-makers regarding the Mpox outbreak, currently live.

An Industry Produces What It Is Paid for

For the WHO and the international public health industry, Mpox presents a very different picture. They now work for a pandemic industrial complex, built by private and political interests on the ashes of international public health. Forty years ago, Mpox would have been viewed in context, proportional to the diseases that are shortening overall life expectancy and the po

My old man laughed and asked me if I heard about the new pandemic that's coming our way?

I laughed back and said no. What is it now?

.... Monkeypox.

Really?

I told him thank god there's not nearly as many gay dudes banging random strangers in bathhouses as Democrats and MSNBC would have us believe.

I think we'll be fine.
