They will start reporting it nightly. Hyping the declared emergency. There will be "experts" on to give their opinions. They'll start running the increasing numbers...NY, CA, IL will ramp up from their already declared states of emergencies to impose mandates. There will be daily press briefings. Gradually, more governors will join the fray, places with large urban centers and liberal/RINO governors first. They'll ramp up the news coverage and post the numbers and get to hyperventilating on the news shows. They'll have a feature with a straight accountant or bus driver, then one with an infected soccer mom to show that it's not just a gay disease, then, when the cauldron is bubbling...there will be a school outbreak, somewhere like Dallas or Houston, Phoenix or Nashville, somewhere with convervatives, then...they will reveal pictures of little school children who've just returned to school with pox sores on their anguished faces and their little arms and then when uncle Joe comes out and announces his nationwide lockdown, everyone with a school age child will be screaming for it.

Another epidemic declared by this BS Administration and the fools are lining up for the vax they haven't learned anything from the last vax BS. I can't believe how really stupid people are. So far it is confined to mostly Gay Men somewhere around 89% and transmitted by sexaully active Gays

Unresponsive? Like in sepsis unresponsive? Or self-medicated unresponsive? Or morphine-level pain and not really following your intake nurse questionnaire unresponsive?
She gives updates fairly regularly and is an APRN….”advanced practitioner registered nurse”…..she probably goes by the book and is in the top of her field.

She is out of Georgia
They have four cases now, at her hospital.

Intradermal Monkeypox Vaccine Injections to Stretch One Dose into Five
Today, 09:35 PM

Elaine Ruth Fletcher

The United States is considering shifting to intradermal injections of Monkeypox vaccine that could potentially stretch one dose of the approved MVA-BN vaccine, available only in limited quantities, into five doses, said US Food and Drug Administration Commissioner Robert Califf on Thursday.

He was speaking at a press briefing minutes after Xavier Becerra, US Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) said he would declare a national health emergency over the monkeypox outbreak, which has now 6,600 confirmed cases in the United States – making it the global hotspot for the virus, followed by Spain and Germany. Some 26,000 cases had been reported worldwide, as of Thursday – not including several thousand suspected cases in central and western Africa, where the disease is endemic, but testing capacity remains poor. ...

‘Dose-sparing’ at critical inflection point

“Given the continued spread of the virus we are at a critical inflection point, dictating the need for continued solutions,” said Califf. While he said that the US was “working closely with the manufacturer to accelerate the delivery of doses,” another solution could be to “allow health care providers to use an existing 1 doise vial to administer up to 5 separate doses.

“Under the proposed approach, a fifth of the proposed dose would be introduced intradermally,” he said, explaining this is a more “shallow injection” than the typical subcutaneous injection. But evidence suggests than if administered correctly, it could provide a powerful immune response for Monkeypox.

As monkeypox strikes gay men, officials debate warnings to limit partners

As monkeypox strikes gay men, officials debate warnings to limit partners
Sex is a major driver of the global outbreak. But health officials and longtime HIV activists say calls for abstinence don’t work.

SAN FRANCISCO — Thousands of gay men clad in leather, latex — and often much less — partied along Folsom Street here last weekend during the annual kink and fetish festival. Even after the city had just declared the monkeypox outbreak striking its gay community a health emergency — one day after the World Health Organization urged men to sleep with fewer men to reduce transmission — San Francisco public health officials made no attempt to rein in festivities or warn attendees to have less sex.

As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention weighs whether to recommend limiting sexual partners, health officials in San Francisco, Chicago, New York and other U.S. cities battling surges disproportionately sickening gay men are avoiding calls for sexual restraint, wary of further stigmatizing same-sex intimacy.

Public health authorities typically emphasize safer sex over abstinence to prevent the spread of diseases through intimate contact. But monkeypox is presenting new challenges in calibrating the right message to stop the rare virus from becoming endemic while limiting government intrusion into the bedroom.

“If people want to have sex, they are going to have sex,” said California state Sen. Scott Wiener (D-San Francisco), who is involved in the city’s monkeypox response. “I know people who normally go to sex parties who will not. People will make their own decisions about their own risk levels.”

More than 6,600 cases of monkeypox have been detected in the United States, prompting the Biden administration to declare a public health emergency Thursday to galvanize awareness. The virus primarily spreads through exposure to an infected person’s rashes or lesions, and this is the first outbreak in which contact during sex appears to be the significant driver. While infections are heavily concentrated among men who have sex with men, others can contract the virus through nonsexual contact and sharing contaminated items.

Many public health officials and activists who spent decades on the front lines of the battle against HIV/AIDS say they have learned it is futile to tell people to have less sex. That stance puts them at odds with the WHO, a top New York epidemiologist who condemned the city’s messaging and others within the gay community who say gay men deserve direct warnings before it is too late to end the outbreak.

“It was devaluing gay men’s lives and health not to warn gay men,” said Dan Savage, a sex columnist who has criticized the public health response to monkeypox. “Now, here we are, really on the verge of monkeypox being endemic in gay communities all over the world, and how is that for stigma?”

Savage, who is no prude as a proponent of non-monogamous relationships and exploring fetishes, said public health officials should have advised gay men to curb their sex lives at the start of the outbreak in May, which experts suspect was supercharged by large festivals in Europe with rampant sexual activity.

Savage is taking his own advice, limiting sex to his husband and his boyfriend and skipping San Francisco’s Dore Alley festival this year.

A dozen Dore Alley attendees interviewed by The Washington Post said they took monkeypox seriously — without the government scolding them to do so. Many revelers kept their clothes on or donned full latex outfits inside crowded bars. One man sheathed himself in a monkeypox-inspired costume — a clear plastic rain suit over a rainbow outfit decorated with white polka dots that he said he wore to “make a statement” about the importance of avoiding skin-to-skin contact.

Several said they planned to avoid casual sex at afterparties...

Helen, was correct in what she posted.

Mods will also correct if necessary.

I just realized that Mississippi was up to 6 cases today. :( I would not be surprised to find out that at least one of those cases was in my city. There is a large LGBTQXYZ presense here. We're only around 45,000 population. I'm glad we don't live too close, and only go into the city when necessary.

My extended family runs in the social/political circles, and I will be keeping my ears open for any clues as to where the cases are located.

Has anyone seen any news on licensing of the vaccine produced by Bavarian Nordic to other manufacturers? From what I have been able to gather Bavarian Nordic has a limited ability to ramp up its production and is currently in the middle of upgrading their facilities. Horrible timing for expanding production capacity.

I'm highly suspicious that this tweet is not as SHTF as it sounds. I have never heard of Carbon Health before, but Carbon Health is one of those newer "doctor offices" that is trying to remake the way front line health care is provided, including telehealth.

However, Myoung Cha is the president of the "home based care" section of Carbon Health, so it is highly credible.

Genuinely surprised to see this:
In a handful of @CarbonHealth clinics right now, we are seeing more suspected #monkeypox cases than symptomatic COVID cases.

This is a chart of how many new cases per day the United States is adding to the Monkeypox cases. Note each point is a 7-day average, to level out the way the CDC currently reports cases.
