SAN FRANCISCO - Wastewater samples taken from a San Francisco treatment plant this week have detected traces of monkeypox virus, researchers say.
Results of a second detection of the virus came on Friday, according to representatives from the Sewer Coronavirus Alert Network (SCAN).
The Oceanside Treatment Plant serves about a third of San Francisco's residents on the city's west side. The samples were taken Monday, June 20 and Thursday, June 23.
The samples "showed small concentrations of viral DNA for the disease," researchers said.

Virginia Reports First Presumed Case of Monkeypox
UPDATE May 27, 2022: The CDC has confirmed that the Virginia patient tested positive for monkeypox. For more information, visit VDH’s Monkeypox Surveillance and Investigation webpage, here.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – May 26, 2022
The patient is an adult female resident of the Northern region of Virginia with recent international travel history to an African country where the disease is known to occur. She was not infectious during travel. She did not require hospitalization and is isolating at home to monitor her health. To protect patient privacy, no further information will be provided. The health department is identifying and monitoring the patient’s close contacts. No additional cases have been detected in Virginia at this time.
“Monkeypox is a very rare disease in the United States. The patient is currently isolating and does not pose a risk to the public.” said State Health Commissioner Colin M. Greene, MD, MPH.
“Transmission requires close contact with someone with symptomatic monkeypox, and this virus has not shown the ability to spread rapidly in the general population. VDH is monitoring national and international trends and has notified medical providers in Virginia to watch for monkeypox cases and report them to their local health district as soon as possible. Based on the limited information currently available about the evolving multi-country outbreak, the risk to the public appears to be very low.”
Although rare, monkeypox is a potentially serious viral illness that is transmitted when someone has close contact with an infected person or animal. Person-to-person spread occurs with prolonged close contact or with direct contact with body fluids or contact with contaminated materials such as clothing or linens. Illness typically begins with fever, headache, muscle aches, exhaustion, and swelling of the lymph nodes. After a few days, a specific type of rash appears, often starting on the face and then spreading to other parts of the body. Symptoms generally appear seven to 14 days after exposure and, for most people, clear up within two to four weeks. Some people can have severe illness and die. As with many viral illnesses, treatment mainly involves supportive care and relief of symptoms.
If you are sick and have symptoms consistent with monkeypox, seek medical care from your healthcare provider, especially if you are in one of the following groups:
On May 20, 2022, VDH distributed a Clinician Letter to medical professionals reminding them to report any suspected cases of monkeypox to their local health department as soon as possible and implement appropriate infection prevention precautions.

Multiple countries, including the United States, are currently experiencing a monkeypox outbreak. To date, most, but not all, cases have occurred in persons who identify as gay, bisexual, or men who have sex with men (MSM). Few hospitalizations and one death have been reported globally in this outbreak thus far. As of June 23, CDC had reported 3504 cases of monkeypox identified in 44 countries; 173 cases were reported in the United States.
“Monkeypox is a rare disease in the United States and based on the information currently available about the evolving multi-country outbreak, the risk to the public appears to be low.” said State Epidemiologist Lilian Peake, MD, MPH, Director of the Office of Epidemiology at VDH.
“VDH continues to monitor this disease and provide guidance to medical providers in Virginia to be on the lookout for possible monkeypox cases and report them to their local health districts. We encourage anyone who has symptoms and potential exposure described below to consult their healthcare provider.”
The patient is an adult male resident of the Northern region of Virginia who was exposed out of state. The Virginia patient did not require hospitalization and is isolating at home. To protect patient privacy, no further information will be provided. The health department is identifying and monitoring the patient’s close contacts.
Monkeypox is a potentially serious viral illness, characterized by a specific type of rash. Rash lesions can begin on the genitals, perianal region, or oral cavity and might be the first or only sign of illness. Co-infection with sexually transmitted infections have been reported. Some patients also have fever, headache, muscle aches, exhaustion, and/or swelling of the lymph nodes before developing a rash. Symptoms generally appear six to 14 days after exposure and, for most people, clear up within two to four weeks.

CIDRAP- Virus causing monkeypox outbreak has mutated to spread easier

Virus causing monkeypox outbreak has mutated to spread easier
Filed Under:
Monkeypox
Stephanie Soucheray | News Reporter | CIDRAP News
Jun 24, 2022
The strain of the virus in the current monkeypox outbreak in nonendemic countries likely diverged from the monkeypox virus that caused a 2018-19 Nigerian outbreak and has far more mutations than would be expected, several that increase transmission, according to a study today in Nature Medicine.
The study comes from Portugal's National Institute of Health in Lisbon, which was the first institution to genetically sequence the current strain behind more than 3,000 cases of monkeypox in Europe, North America, and other regions that had never seen the virus until this year.
Researchers found the current strain diverges from the original strain by 50 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), and several mutations made the virus more transmissible. The strain belongs to clade 3 of the West African strain of the virus, which is less fatal than the Congo Basin clade. Monkeypox outbreaks from clade 3 are typically reported from western Cameroon to Sierra Leone and usually carry a less than 1% case-fatality rate.
The authors said the outbreak was likely not caused by undetected silent spread, or from an animal-to-human crossover event. Instead, "Current data points for a scenario of more than one introduction from a single origin, with superspreader event(s) (e.g., saunas used for sexual encounters) and travel abroad likely triggering the rapid worldwide dissemination."
The authors also said the 50 SNPs that diverge from the original strain are far more (roughly sixfold to 12-fold more) than one would expect considering previous estimates of the substitution rate for orthopoxviruses, which typically have 1 to 2 substitutions per site per year.
Modeling study shows potential growth of outbreak
In another study, this one published today in The Lancet Microbe, scientists use modeling to predict what will happen in nonendemic countries if public health measures to curb ongoing outbreaks are not taken.
They predict that, without interventions, the introduction of 3 cases in a country could cause 18 secondary cases, 30 could cause 118 secondary cases, and 300 cases could cause 402 secondary cases.
Contact tracing and surveillance, isolation of symptomatic cases, and ring vaccination would reduce the number of secondary cases by up to 86.1% and the duration of the outbreak by up to 75.7%, the authors conclude.
The authors also said the outbreak is a moderate international concern. Currently, consultants to the World Health Organization are weighing if the outbreak constitutes an international public health emergency during a 2-day meeting.
US, Portugal add more cases
In the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the national total is now 173 in 24 states, an increase of 17 cases since yesterday.
A New York City sexual health clinic offering monkeypox vaccine to men who have sex with men was forced to close because of overwhelming demand. Many men sought the vaccine in the days leading up to Pride celebrations.
Portugal now has 348 monkeypox cases, with 20 new cases in the last 24 hours. Along with Spain and the United Kingdom, Portugal has the most cases in Europe.
In other news, Croatia and Taiwan each reported their first cases of the virus.

L.A. County public health officials confirm communal transmission of monkeypox
by: Travis Schlepp
Posted: Jun 24, 2022 / 06:22 PM PDT
Updated: Jun 24, 2022 / 06:28 PM PDT
The Los Angeles County Public Health Department confirmed Friday the existence of monkeypox cases that were transmitted within the community.
Public health officials said several of the 22 cases reported in Los Angeles County have no history of international or out-of-state travel, meaning the cases likely originated in the county.
The disease does not spread easily between people and can be spread from contact with bodily fluids or open sores.
Monkeypox can be spread to anyone, officials say, but many of the cases have been identified among gay, bisexual men and other men who have had sex in large gatherings.
RELATED CONTENT
Vaccines for the disease exist but are limited, so they are currently only being given to individuals who are considered to be at high risk of exposure.
Higher risk individuals include people who have close contact with someone diagnosed with monkeypox or people who have attended events where skin-to-skin contact was taking place between people who later tested positive for the disease.
The pool of those eligible to receive the vaccine will expand as availability increases, public health officials said.
L.A. County officials are encouraging anyone who experiences monkeypox-like symptoms, those who have had close contact with a positive case, or people who traveled to countries where monkeypox cases have been reported to contact their health care provider.
People who do not have a regular provider can also call 211 for help.

- I am finalizing my analysis on the immune-epidemiologic consequences of the mass vaccination program. It will shed light on how the emergence of globally ongoing / starting epidemics of several different infectious diseases (meningococcal, TB, HIV, Herpetic diseases, etc.) as well as that of 2 major pandemics (even if not yet officially declared as pandemics), i.e., Monkeypox and Avian Flu are related to the mass vax program.
Basically, the enhanced susceptibility of vaccinees to SC-2 (which results from their infection-enhancing vaccinal antibodies) sufficiently exhausts the innate and adaptive immune system to lower the population’s immune defense down to a level where these microorganisms can spread in the population. I will explain this in more detail but for now, I strongly advice all people who didn’t get the shot to:
- take extreme care of their health and lifestyle,
- not vaccinate against seasonal Influenza (!!) as this will only make you more susceptible to avian Flu (because of ADEI),
- for all those who didn’t get it in the past: get sooner or later the live attenuated, replication-competent smallpox vaccine (not yet available in sufficient supply but the expansion of smallpox is slower than that of avian Flu, so hope that this will allow for enough time to scale up production)
- make sure your young children do NOT get vaccinated with any of the C-19 vaccines (under no circumstances!) but get them properly vaccinated with the live attenuated childhood vaccines: Measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, as I predict that outbreaks will occur in countries / regions where herd immunity has dropped below the threshold
- not worry too much about C-19; most of us now have a level of trained innate immunity or even natural immunity that will protect us from moderate (and certainly from severe) disease. The situation will only further improve as the virus continues to select more resistant immune escape variants. I predict that even the unvaccinated vulnerable people will become less and less susceptible, but for now, some may still be vulnerable if they haven’t gotten any SC-2-infection experience yet.
- Avoid travel to other countries and follow the situation in your own region / country and also worldwide, especially re: avian influenza
- Consider removing your parents from the nursing home as we are up for outbreaks of RSV and seasonal Flu and having vulnerable people concentrated in the same place is just going to make it worse. Nevertheless, even the elderly and vulnerable people should stay away from seasonal Flu shots as they could be a death sentence if one gets hit by avian flu (ADEI!).
- As already mentioned, I strongly recommend all fully vaccinated people to ensure access to antivirals.

- make sure your young children do NOT get vaccinated with any of the C-19 vaccines (under no circumstances!) but get them properly vaccinated with the live attenuated childhood vaccines: Measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, as I predict that outbreaks will occur in countries / regions where herd immunity has dropped below the threshold
- not worry too much about C-19; most of us now have a level of trained innate immunity or even natural immunity that will protect us from moderate (and certainly from severe) disease. The situation will only further improve as the virus continues to select more resistant immune escape variants. I predict that even the unvaccinated vulnerable people will become less and less susceptible, but for now, some may still be vulnerable if they haven’t gotten any SC-2-infection experience yet.
- Avoid travel to other countries and follow the situation in your own region / country and also worldwide, especially re: avian influenza
- Consider removing your parents from the nursing home as we are up for outbreaks of RSV and seasonal Flu and having vulnerable people concentrated in the same place is just going to make it worse. Nevertheless, even the elderly and vulnerable people should stay away from seasonal Flu shots as they could be a death sentence if one gets hit by avian flu (ADEI!).
- As already mentioned, I strongly recommend all fully vaccinated people to ensure access to antivirals.

The VAX program has left the vaccinated with immune deficiency. That is why Monkeypox is spreading so rapidly imho!

Something I'd like the answer to if at all possible is how many of the monkeypox cases are in people who have already been vaxxed against smallpox? I'm trying to figure out if those of us who have been vaxxed against smallpox have an immunity to it. I'm not talking about possible mutations of the future that may or may not happen, but as it stands right now.

That does not seem to be being reported. However, we might be able to make some logical leaps based on ages of the infected. Generally, the age information is not available, but in some cases they mention details that might help us determine the age. As I look at cases, if I see something that might identify the patient being old enough to likely have the smallpox vaccination, I'll try to mention it here. So far, I don't think I've seen any reports that make me think they are old enough.

Thank you for posting!
Like I mentioned on the Covid thread I suspected this was happening!
Now there’s some confirmation from an expert, finally.

Thanks. I haven't been able to find that info, either. I'm lead to believe, in all the reporting, that the age bracket of those being infected aren't old enough to have received the vax for smallpox. If us older peeps don't have to worry about being infected, because we've been vaxxed, that would take a load off of some of us.

I was born in 1971 and am unvaxed. I get a tetanus every 10 years and that’s all. My “parents” (long story there) didn’t care for any of their children and schools in our area seemingly didn’t demand shot records. I will not put any of these poisons in my body. If God wants me to get the pox I will but I live a quiet, moral, country life and am very hygienic

I didn’t think they were either

In this case the "they" that are doing the updates are 1000's of groups, both big and small. All the big ones are restricting when they publish. That does not mean a individual hospital somewhere that notices a case won't publish a case they get on the weekends. The data aggregators would (in theory) pick it up when ever it is posted, assuming it is being done by persons working or by bots.
I do not find it unexpected that there will be a few cases posted on off-days.

I have two sons who aren't old enough to have got the smallpox vax (born 77-79). It was no longer given or required when they were born. That's not the case for us older folks, though. I doubt either of them will get another vax, either. They absolutely refused the C-vax.
I was in NO way implying that everyone needs to run out and get a smallpox, monkeypox, COVID, or any other vaccine! Just to clarify........

Yes you did and yes there is.

Funny, but that important bit of info seems to be off the radar of those who are charged with our Health... That, and Vacc(notavacc) status.
Good thinking!
Since it appears that no 'officials' are curious about that data, your method would be right for trying to derive a clue.
It's pretty clear we are being denied critical, need to know information.

- I am finalizing my analysis on the immune-epidemiologic consequences of the mass vaccination program. It will shed light on how the emergence of globally ongoing / starting epidemics of several different infectious diseases (meningococcal, TB, HIV, Herpetic diseases, etc.) as well as that of 2 major pandemics (even if not yet officially declared as pandemics), i.e., Monkeypox and Avian Flu are related to the mass vax program.
Basically, the enhanced susceptibility of vaccinees to SC-2 (which results from their infection-enhancing vaccinal antibodies) sufficiently exhausts the innate and adaptive immune system to lower the population’s immune defense down to a level where these microorganisms can spread in the population. I will explain this in more detail but for now, I strongly advice all people who didn’t get the shot to:
- take extreme care of their health and lifestyle,
- not vaccinate against seasonal Influenza (!!) as this will only make you more susceptible to avian Flu (because of ADEI),
- for all those who didn’t get it in the past: get sooner or later the live attenuated, replication-competent smallpox vaccine (not yet available in sufficient supply but the expansion of smallpox is slower than that of avian Flu, so hope that this will allow for enough time to scale up production)
- make sure your young children do NOT get vaccinated with any of the C-19 vaccines (under no circumstances!) but get them properly vaccinated with the live attenuated childhood vaccines: Measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, as I predict that outbreaks will occur in countries / regions where herd immunity has dropped below the threshold

Collecting data from many disparate sources is unlikely to give precise, up to the minute (or hour) info. There is a clear pattern of fewer or no reports on the weekends.
Tristan
Has No Life - Lives on TB
Probably this.
Which is why the base data to derive the 'Signal' is being non-reported.
They're in deep denial mode... Not denial like in the case of a infidelity, but denial so as to not have their perfidy exposed.
