A woman in Northern Virginia has become the ninth case of monkeypox to be detected in the U.S., it was revealed Thursday amid warnings the virus may now be spreading in the country.
State health chiefs said the patient recently returned from an African country ‘where the disease is known to occur’. She is isolating at home, and has a mild illness.
It was not clear whether the latest case was linked to the current outbreak, which is mostly among gay and bisexual men.
Dr Rochelle Walensky, the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warned in a briefing today that ‘some community transmission’ of the virus may now be happening in the United States.
She did not reveal how many cases were linked to international travel, although the CDC said on Monday it was every infection.
Experts in Europe — where most cases are being detected — say the outbreak there may be linked to unsafe sex at two mass gatherings in Spain and Belgium.
In the U.S. two cases have so far been confirmed in Florida and Utah, and one each in California, Massachusetts, New York City and Florida.
But globally more than 200 infections have been detected across 23 countries including the UK, France, Italy, Israel and Australia.
Americans traveling abroad are being told to take ‘enhanced precautions’ due to the outbreak, including avoiding sick people and animals.
Experts — including Dr Romulus Breban, a researcher at the Pasteur Institute in Paris, France — have been warning for years that an outbreak of the virus was bound to happen because so many people no longer have immunity to its closely-related cousin smallpox.
Quick!!!!! Wear 10 masks…. Lock your door… get 20 vaccine shots… lockdown, lockdown!
Why are we worried about this? Diabetes and obesity runs rapid and are considered Normal because it’s not contagious and we don’t hold those people accountable for their impulsive lifestyle disorders. They might as well be suffering from STD’s it’s the same thing. People have a lot of righteous opinions and affiliations yet are poor examples of living the best and good life.
Trump would stop anyone coming into this country from Africa.
Whatever
Here we go again
Get ready folks
Too late the Media has already gotten everybody scared to death with this one too, everywhere I went this weekend all I saw was people wearing masks, the grocery stores have made all their employees wear masks again and a lot of the shoppers have masks on. We are all doomed at least these fools all think so, I hope they realize that the vaccinations they have taken have the same side effect symptoms as Monkey Pox and all the masks do is cut off the air supply to your brain.
Here is the deal until you all get rid of the fear and tell these people to go to hell we are never going to have the Country that we should have. If you want to continue being owned and controlled keep on giving into their bullshit, just bend over and accept their New World Order and own nothing and be happy.
