9) and yes, the monkeypox responds to the smallpox vaccine because they are cousin viruses. But almost nobody <age 45 in Western countries have the vaccine anymore, unless you were born in developing countries until the 1980s. It’s not widely available —but govt has stockpiles.
8) there’s some weird anecdotes and propaganda running around that it’s mostly an epidemic in LGBT men. That’s not justified yet. Often LGBT communities do more TESTING of rashes because of prevalence of other STDs. Thus finding more monkeypox could be just more testing in LGBT.
8) And yes, the smallpox vaccine is up to 85% effective against Monkeypox. But most adults in developed countries that are under age 50 don’t have the smallpox vaccine. And while you can get it if infected, it needs to be within 4 days optimally. pic.twitter.com/htgOM4JMr5
is there any extra precaution to start taking now?
7) Besides droplets (and maybe/likely aerosols), direct contact with the #monkeypox scabs is contagious too, but much less so, traditionally, says CDC. CDC says respiratory secretions is more infectious. Soooo… mask anyone???
4) I don’t know what to make of all the reports implying LGBT / sexual health clinic spread—it could just be those clinics are more vigilant about new pathogens. I don’t think it’s fair to imply something LGBT whenever STD clinics have high screening. statnews.com/2022/05/18/spa… pic.twitter.com/XZDGLnBHkd
6) To be clear, there’s 2 traditional #monkeypox clades (families). One from Congo has 10% CFR, and one from west Africa has 1% CFR. UK 🇬🇧 data shows its cases so far is the West Africa strain. But this is still higher than COVID’s 0.6% CFR in 2020. Be cautious.
11) Also for smallpox, Cdc said “Transmission via contact with material from the smallpox pustules or crusted scabs can also occur. Scabs are **much less infectious than respiratory secretions**, though”. Let’s hope monkeypox is less infectious. But let’s be PRECAUTIONARY first.
5) And yes there is some limited evidence it could be airborne. Most experts say monkeypox is not very airborne if at all, traditionally. But clearly it is possible. And the new faster spread seen worldwide suggests it could be. Let’s PLAY IT SAFE and be more precautionary!
14) To be clear (STAT News wasn’t), there are 2 #monkeypox clades strains—West African strain has a 1% case fatality ratio, while Congo Basin strain is up to 10% fatality. Nigeria usually has West African strain, so fingers crossed. But 1% is still bad. And it can harm fetuses! pic.twitter.com/3pn5OiAr1f
4) the new case in France 🇫🇷 (Paris region) is entirely from someone without recent travel history — ergo community transmission. This implies it’s been spreading widely already. Given reports all over Europe - we have to assume it’s become widespread across Europe now.
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. ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/P… pic.twitter.com/gjFv4FXndN
3) I’m seeing a lot of people (including experts) downplaying monkeypox simply because past outbreaks have always been small outside of Africa. But we need to learn humility. This sudden simultaneous global multiple country epidemic is NOT NORMAL. Let’s be precautious!
28) Again, this French confirmed #monkeypox case in a 29 year old with no travel history to any other country with existing cases is worrisome. I think the cat is now out of the bag that monkeypox is all over Europe probably.
is there any extra precaution to start taking now?
This is no monkey business. #monkeypox surge in the past week alone has been astronomical for a traditionally very rare disease. For example, UK cases have doubled overnight form 9 to 20. The @WHO needs to declare a PHEIC asap.
A good summary article on #monkeypox so far. But a lot of what we know is based on older outbreaks. ➡️“We can’t use what happened with previous monkeypox outbreaks to make sweeping statements. If we’ve learned anything from COVID, it’s to have humility.”

27) ZERO TRAVEL HISTORY— first #monkeypox case in France (capital region) also identified. But this person having no travel history is worrisome. It means community transmission has already set in somewhere in clusters, and we are now finding secondary. liberation.fr/societe/sante/…
Il s’agit d’un homme de 29 ans sans antécédent de voyage dans un pays où circule le virus, ont précisé les autorités sanitaires. Dès la suspicion de son infection, cette personne a été prise en charge et en l’absence de gravité, est isolée à son domicile #AFP
26) And yes, the monkeypox in Australia has now been “confirmed” in multiple cities- Melbourne and Sydney. This is not normal for a supposedly rare virus from Africa that normally only affects single digit cases outside Africa worldwide. abc.net.au/news/2022-05-2…
25) Australia now has its first case of #monkeypox too. Generally if international travelers are seeing it so quickly, it must be getting more and more prevalent in the country in which someone flew from. This makes me worry about the extend in Europe already.
24) Belgium’s first monkeypox case now confirmed too. The spouse of the case also showing symptoms and suspected of having it now too. vrt.be/vrtnws/nl/2022…

23) there are now 7 countries with confirmed #monkeypox cases outside of Africa. Expect this to grow soon even more. The long incubation time of 12 and sometimes 21 days will make case identification slower. Dashboard below:

2) just look at how fast monkeypox has spread in just a few days. Monkeypox usually is EXTREMELY rare. That’s why the CDC is really worried about this surge because it is so unusual. Yet I see people saying it’s nothing, just like the flu. Do we never learn to follow new data?
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.🧵

Hey @NYCMayor @ericadamsfornyc Masks can help stop the spread of Monkeypox. How about getting ahead of this one? We need better leadership from you. Mask mandates now.
Oh no. I'm unfamiliar with #monkeypox. Gotta read up. Ty for heads up.

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.

We are investigating a possible case of monkeypox in NYC. The patient is being cared for at @BellevueHosp. Our Public Health Lab will conduct preliminary tests, which — if positive — will be sent to @CDCgov for confirmatory testing.
2) This is monkeypox (a typical case), for those who need a visual. Hope the anti maskers will take a virus that gives boils on their faces and bodies more seriously?

This is a child with monkeypox, a cousin of smallpox. I hope the anti-maskers and “natural immunity” crowd take the virus seriously. Whether it’s the 10% CFR Congo strain or 1% CFR West African #monkeypox strain, both no joke.

“Suspected but unconfirmed” - at this point.

.@CNN had a medical pundit on this A.M. say that it is only spread by droplets and fluids. He also said that it is historically rare. No mention of issues with immunity; or the fact that it usually has an R0 of 2.

24) UPDATE— Italy 🇮🇹 now reports its first confirmed cases of #monkeypox now too in a person who returned from a trip to the Canary Islands. HT @Antonio_Caramia huffingtonpost.it/cronaca/2022/0…

4) Here is a fuller thread 🧵 below on monkeypox. The good news is the smallpox vaccine works well against monkeypox. The bad news is mostly people under age 45 don’t have the smallpox vaccine. And elderly who do need booster shot, and we don’t have much supply.
My @UCLADRC team and I have been working with colleagues at @inrb_kinshasa, @esp_unikin #DRC MoH and many terrific collaborators for 2 decades on human #monkeypox and the impact of waning vaccine induced immunity. See relevant 2010 #PNAS paper. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…
23) a picture is worth a thousand words… and since most people have never seen or heard of monkeypox before… a small visual aid.
What does this have to do with smallpox and "natural immunity" crowd? Please connect the dots. Smallpox is not monkey pox. Covid is not monkey pox? This is weird
