The Economist: Is the monkey drop “Cavid2”?

Symptoms (the fever, fatigue, and bubbles spread on the face and body) are similar to those of the oak. Some researchers suggest that by ending the routine inoculation against smallpox, this may have contributed to the spread of monkey oak.

The World Health Organization, which has stated that the risk of mortality is low in healthy individuals if treated in time, can be dangerous for children, pregnant women, and vulnerable persons, reports abcnews.al.

These warnings are important.

There is no recorded case of a man outside Africa dying of monkey leave. But on that continent, where health care is poor, it has resulted fatal in 3-6% of the cases.

And a popular species in Congo is far more likely to be deadly than the West African version that is now spreading outside the continent. Previously, the spread of monkey oak has been limited to travelers from Africa or their close contacts.

The first case found in Britain this month involved someone recently arrived from Nigeria. Since then, the disease has become more widespread. By May 25th, Britain had diagnosed 71 cases. Spain 119. Portugal, 39. Argentina, Austria and Denmark confirmed cases on May 23rd, abcnews.al reports.

Monkey line is more often transmitted by skin contact, body fluids, or materials contaminated like clothing. Many of the recent cases in Europe have been linked to major events, including a parade of gay pride in Spain and a festival in Belgium.

Hans Kloge, regional director for Europe, has warned that “transmission could accelerate” during the summer months, promoted by the holidays. He has recommended full handwashing and protective equipment for health workers.

Infected persons and their contacts have been advised to isolate themselves for 21 days and health authorities are using tracking contacts to minimize the spread. But the virus is not transmitted as fast as the sars-cov-2. Nor does it change as quickly as the coronarys tend to do, reducing the risk of suddenly becoming even more fatal.

And Western countries know how to manage the situation. The last major explosion outside Africa was recorded in 2003, recording more than 70 cases.

But the situation was quickly brought to control.

The vaccine can help people recover very quickly even after they have been infected, and vaccines against smallpox (from which many countries have large reserves) are estimated to be 85% effective against monkey oak.

Several countries are currently “that have contact with the infected, both to protect individuals in question and to break the transmission chain.

However, the number of cases will likely increase, causing jams as in the case of Covid-19/abcnews. al
