this is the thing, said clearly and succinctly in one sentence:

The Monkeypox virus may be mutating. This has got medical experts worried. Over 80 cases have been detected in 12 countries in Europe and the US. The virus is most common in West Africa. #DStv403 pic.twitter.com/INftk2lXNi

yYes - as many Covid denier types are now pointing out - it's been a common scourge in certain areas in the past. But it's never spread to the big countries in "the west" like this before.

Monkeypox suspected now in NYC. Boston and New York are almost always our early bell-weathers for epidemics seeded from Europe. Boston had a confirmed #monkeypox yesterday and NYC now has a new suspected case. I’ve seen this pattern before. Hmmm. https://t.co/Xtj8Tc2tWz

MONKEY POX:

“We have concerns there might be cases in the United States.”

Cases confirmed in UK, Spain, and Portugal.

Put your masks back on, people, especially if you are traveling by plane—the #MonkeyPoxVirus is airborne.#MonkeyPox https://t.co/ycbMRUrHDK

The CDC officially says that #MonkeyPox is bodily fluid and respiratory droplet spread [https://t.co/nDFDw9XWUL] but recommends the use of AIRBORNE PRECAUTIONS because of the “theoretical risk of airborne transmission” of the virus [https://t.co/oWKvMqPsfo]. pic.twitter.com/jAUoyk6GuA

MONKEYPOX outbreak in UK, Portugal, Spain—CDC is very worried about transmission & warning that the UK outbreak could spread—Portugal & Spain also likely outbreak. #Monkeypox is fatal in ~1 in 10 cases, with severe disease & death more likely among kids.https://t.co/8ui8qqhB92 pic.twitter.com/FF2R31DJ0i

Crap—Monkeypox is likely aerosol airborne. Study indicates monkeypox is aerosol stable for up to 90 HOURS and remain infective during that time. I pray we’ve learned our lesson with #COVIDisAirborne and don’t repeat the droplet vs airborne 2 year nonsense. https://t.co/8J6mqkzzLO pic.twitter.com/gjFv4FXndN
