Massachusetts confirms first case of monkeypox in the United States this year

Maryland and Texas both reported one case of monkeypox last year

Massachusetts health officials confirmed on Wednesday the first case of monkeypox, a rare but potentially serious virus, in the United States so far this year.

Monkeypox causes similar symptoms to smallpox, including fever, headache, muscle aches, exhaustion, chills, and skins lesions.

At least seven cases of the virus have been reported this month in the United Kingdom, health authorities there said.

The individual who contracted monkeypox in Massachusetts had recently traveled to Canada and officials said they are conducting contact tracing.

“This contact tracing approach is the most appropriate given the nature and transmission of the virus,” Massachusetts health officials said. “The case poses no risk to the public, and the individual is hospitalized and in good condition.”

  1. You know this $hit is being brought in here from the southern border. Those illegals will be bring in every disease known and unknown to mankind. Damn Joey Biden!!!

  2. AS the permafrost and glaciers thaw all the primordial bugaboos awake. Diseases that have not thrived for millennia will have their day again. It’s natural.
