Today is July 7, and according to a report by infectious and health prevention experts in the United States, the spread of monkeypox in the United States is much more severe than imagined, and there is a risk of getting out of control. At present, there are 460 cases of monkeypox in the United States, and many of them are not counted because they have not been tested, so what are the characteristics of the monkeypox virus?
Unlike the recent coronavirus, which has been particularly severe, the monkeypox virus is a confirmed zoonotic virus, which means that the monkeypox virus can be transmitted from animal to animal, from person to person, and from person to animal. It's very different from the coronavirus. And this type of contagion means,The monkeypox virus is actually more contagious than we think, although the new coronavirus mutates faster, mutating a few sites a month, while the monkeypox virus only changes a few bases a year.
But as studies have shown that the monkeypox virus is adapting to humans at an accelerated pace, mutating faster and more transmissible. The monkeypox virus itself has the attribute of transmission between humans and animals, so we must not underestimate the monkeypox virus, and we must strictly defend against it.
The history of the monkeypox virus is actually very good, and after the WHO declared the smallpox virus free in 1980, only a small number of monkeypox viruses have survived in Africa. In Africa, there are only two in East Africa and West Africa, with a fatality rate of 3 percent and a fatality rate of 10 percentIn fact, there is still a lot of research on this virusAnd because of its similarity to smallpox, in fact, smallpox vaccine can suppress it, so there is no need to worry too much about the monkeypox virus.
I hope that mankind will be able to conquer the monkeypox virus as soon as possible!

Basic characteristics of monkeypox virus: Monkeypox virus is actually a close relative of smallpox virus, and it is also a zoonotic disease, which is mainly transmitted to humans through animals, but there are few human-to-human phenomena.
-
Monkeypox virus, also known as monkey smallpox virus, belongs to the poxviridae family and orthopoxvirus genus, which is similar to smallpox virus, vaccinia virus, vaccinia virus, rabbitpox virus, buffalopox virus, etc.

On July 3, 2022, according to a local news report in the United States, the response speed of the United States** to the monkeypox outbreak is relatively slow, and American epidemiologists have also warned that the United States is likely to lose control of the monkeypox virus. As of July 3, 2022, according to the data of the United States Prevention Center, there are a total of 460 confirmed cases of monkeypox in the United States, but experts say that this confirmed case is actually underestimated, because monkeypox is already in an uncontrollable state in the United States, and many people are very puzzled, what exactly is monkeypox transmitted through? Let's find out together.
The monkeypox virus is mainly in some mammals in Africa or in the body of monkeys, so monkeypox is likely to be transmitted because of contact between humans and animals, because monkeypox is a disease that both humans and animals may suffer from at the same time, monkeypox virus and smallpox are very similar, generally transmitted to humans by animals or other organisms, and transmitted through contact or bodily fluids, for example, if you are bitten by an animal that has been infected with many viruses, Or if you accidentally come into contact with the blood or body fluids of these animals, you can have some symptoms of monkeypox.
In addition to animal transmission to humans, there are some reasons that are likely to be human-to-human transmission, because if a person is infected with the monkeypox virus, then other people may come into contact with him, or accidentally touch body fluids or blood, etc., in this case, it is also possible to spread between people, in addition to the transmission of body fluids, the virus may also be transmitted through respiratory droplets or infected clothing, bedding and other items.
In general, the monkeypox virus is a very scary virus, and it spreads very widely, it can be transmitted from animals to people, through body fluids and blood, or it can be transmitted from people to people through close contact or respiratory droplets.
-
Infection occurs primarily through contact with lesion exudates, blood, and other bodily fluids from infected animals, or by bites or scratches from infected animals. It is mainly spread through close person-to-person contact but can also be spread through droplets. Contact with items contaminated with the virus can also become infected, and it can also spread vertically through the placenta.
Sexual transmission cannot be ruled out.
-
It can be transmitted from person to person, mainly by being bitten by an animal carrying the virus, or by contact with the blood or body fluids of an infected animal.
-
This virus is mainly transmitted by blood, and the risk of transmission is relatively large, so prevention and control measures should be taken.
-
The spread of the monkeypox virus is unpredictableThe monkeypox virus is a zoonotic virus, mostly parasitic in monkeys, and now the monkeypox virus has mutated before it begins to infect humans, but the way of transmission is still through blood and body fluids, and the transmissibility is certainly much lower than that of the new coronavirus, but the transmission route of the monkeypox virus is very unpredictable. For example, the first case of monkeypox was found in the United Kingdom, and the strain analysis was infected in West Africa, so the United Kingdom** immediately isolated the infected person, but in the next few days, there were still infected people with the monkeypox virus in the United Kingdom, and the strain showed that it was also a West African strain, which shows that the transmission route of the monkeypox virus is very strange and difficult to prevent and control. <>
The monkeypox virus is very harmful to the human bodyAlthough the monkeypox virus is not highly contagious, it is very harmful to the human body after infecting the human body. The monkeypox virus will only show symptoms such as dizziness and fever after just infecting the human body, but with the passage of infection, the monkeypox virus will appear a large number of rashes on the human body, and some infected people with weak physique will lose their lives, which shows the horror of the monkeypox virus; At the same time, human beings have not yet developed the first drug for monkeypox virus, so the mortality rate of monkeypox virus is very high, and it has been raging in the United Kingdom, the United States, France, Canada, Australia and other countries, and even American experts say that there is a risk of getting out of control, which shows that the monkeypox virus is very serious. <>
The U.S. has some difficulties preventing the monkeypox virusThe monkeypox virus is transmitted through bodily fluids and blood, so as long as you wear a mask when you go out and do not come into contact with strangers, you can effectively prevent the monkeypox virus. At the same time, the monkeypox virus and the smallpox virus are very similar, and the smallpox virus vaccine can be used to prevent monkeypox virus infection, which is a very effective solution. However, because the American people are a country that advocates freedom, these measures are difficult to achieve, which makes it very difficult to prevent and control the monkeypox epidemic in the United States. <>
-
First of all, contact with animals and humans who suffer from monkeypox is strictly refused. Disinfect touchable objects in a timely manner. Second, vaccination should be carried out in a timely manner. Take precautions in your daily life.
-
Strictly implement various health and quarantine measures such as health declaration, body temperature monitoring, medical inspection, sampling and testing of inbound personnel. Strengthen the quarantine of imported carrying, mail and rodents. Solid preparations for laboratory biosafety management and testing.
Continue to strengthen communication with airlines and port health education. Strengthen multi-departmental joint prevention and control to strictly prevent the risk of epidemic importation.

Since the outbreak of the monkeypox virus, there have been first cases of infection in many countries around the world. In particular, the United States has shown a trend of continued spread after the outbreak of monkeypox. Recently, some American experts said that the monkeypox epidemic in the United States may be at risk of getting out of control, just like the early new coronavirus, if the prevention and control measures are not done well, it is likely to lead to a large-scale spread and out of control.
Of course, although the monkeypox virus is terrible, as long as you take precautions, you will not be too worried.
If you want to better prevent this disease, you must first understand how it spreads. In general, there are two main ways of transmission of the monkeypox virus, one is through animals to humans, and the other is from person to person. To put it simply, people who are infected by animals are animals that people have been exposed to viruses, such as animal blood or body fluids, as well as surface lesions.
In addition, if you eat undercooked wild animals on a regular basis, you may also be infected with the monkeypox virus.
Human-to-human transmission is relatively rare. However, if you have close contact with an infected person for a long time, such as contact with the secretions of an infected person, or if you breathe face-to-face for a long time, the probability of contracting the monkeypox virus will be greatly increased. Therefore, if you want to prevent the monkeypox virus, in your daily life, you must never eat wild animals from unknown sources, including some meat foods, which must be fully cooked before eating.
Whether it's monkeypox virus or the new coronavirus, it's important to practice good hygiene. If you are walking outside, be sure to wear a mask and try to avoid going to places with particularly dense crowds. After returning home, the first thing is to wash your hands carefully, like some special items such as couriers, etc., you can do some disinfecting.
Also, be sure to stay away from wild animals and never touch them with your hands.
-
Then locals should wear masks when they go out. And it is necessary to do the corresponding disinfection work, and at the same time, it is necessary to vaccinate the corresponding vaccine.
-
When the locals prevent this disease, they are actually very strict in managing and fengdaqing, and they will no longer use some wild animals and silver land, and they are very strict in controlling some farmers' markets and the like.

Monkeypox can be a serious threat to human lifeThe monkeypox virus is a zoonotic virus that mostly parasitizes in monkeys and rarely appears in humans; However, the monkeypox virus has mutated, causing the monkeypox virus to spread in human society, and it will also have a serious impact on the life safety of the human body. After the monkeypox virus infects the human body, it will only appear dizziness, fever and other common flu symptoms at first, but over time, the monkeypox virus will appear a large number of rashes on the human body, which will lead to the life-threatening of some infected people with weak physique, and because the monkeypox virus has no medicine to treat it, the mortality rate of the monkeypox virus is very high today, and the situation is grim. <>
The monkeypox virus spreads in a strange wayThe monkeypox virus is transmitted through body fluids and blood, which is much less transmissible than the new coronavirus, but it is very strange in the way of transmission; The United Kingdom was the first country to find a person infected with the monkeypox virus, and the first infected person was infected with the monkeypox virus after traveling to West Africa, so the United Kingdom** immediately isolated and investigated the infected person; However, after a few days, several people infected with the monkeypox virus appeared in the United Kingdom, and there was no contact with the first infected person, and there was no experience of traveling to West Africa. <>
China also needs to pay attention to the monkeypox virusNowadays, the monkeypox virus has been raging in the United Kingdom, France, Canada, the United States and other countries, causing a very serious impact, although China has not found monkeypox virus infection, but it still needs to be paid attention to. However, it is not difficult to prevent monkeypox virus in China, and the method of detecting monkeypox virus has been mastered, and only the entry personnel and animals need to be tested to effectively resist the monkeypox virus; At the same time, the monkeypox cave virus can be restrained by the smallpox virus vaccine, which also provides a good plan for the prevention of monkeypox virus in China, and there is no need to be afraid for the time being. <>
-
The risk of monkeypox transmission is very large, Bi Zhenqing spreads very widely, the transmission speed is also very fast, and this disease is also very difficult to sell.
-
The risk of transmission is very high, and if a person is infected, it is possible to become infected if they have come into contact with this person or have touched their belongings.
-
The risk of monkeypox transmission is quite high, it will be transmitted through contact, and it will be transmitted by breathing, so everyone should pay attention to safety.

The monkeypox virus is raging very quicklyThe first case of monkeypox virus infection first occurred in the United Kingdom, the infected person was infected with the monkeypox virus while traveling in West Africa, and the local ** also immediately isolated the infected person and analyzed the strain he carried; However, in the following days, infected people appeared in the United Kingdom one after another, and there was no contact with the first infected person, but through the detection of the strain, it was found that they were carrying strains from West Africa, which shows that the transmission route of the monkeypox virus is very mysterious, making it very difficult for human society to prevent, so there are relatively serious epidemics in France, Canada, the United States and Australia and other countries, and the speed of transmission is very fast, which needs to be paid attention to. <>
It is very difficult for American society to control the epidemicIn fact, although the monkeypox virus has mutated, its transmission mode has not changed, and it can only be transmitted through body fluids or blood, which is also destined not to be a large-scale outbreak like the new coronavirus. However, there are many problems in American society, which makes it difficult to implement these ordinary epidemic prevention measures in the United States, and the local epidemic prevention measures in the United States are very imperfect, so some experts believe that the monkeypox virus is about to get out of control in the United States. <>
The United States can learn from our country in epidemic preventionAlthough there is no drug to treat the monkey bean virus, scientists have found that the monkey bean virus and the smallpox virus are very similar, and they are very similar in structure and symptoms of infecting the human body, so scientists used the smallpox virus vaccine for experiments and found that the vaccine produced by the smallpox virus can effectively resist the monkeypox virus, because the human society provides a good plan for epidemic prevention of monkeypox virus, and vaccination can be carried out to prevent the epidemic; At the same time, China already has the means to detect the monkey bean virus, and the United States can also learn from our epidemic prevention methods, which I believe will greatly improve the predicament of the United States. <>
The monkeypox epidemic has new characteristics, but experts say that it is necessary to be vigilant against asymptomatic infections, and the fatality rate of monkeypox is 10%. >>>More
On 16 September, Chongqing reported an imported case of monkeypox. The patient was transferred to Chongqing in a foreign country, and developed rash symptoms when he was quarantined in accordance with the regulations for the prevention and control of the new crown epidemic, and then when he was tested for monkeypox, he was found to be positive for monkeypox virus nucleic acid and negative for new coronavirus nucleic acid test. At present, the patient has been isolated in a designated hospital, and the people who have been in close contact with the patient have also been isolated for observation. >>>More

Because after the outbreak of monkeypox, the United States did not take corresponding epidemic prevention measures against it. The U.S. has been inadequate in public health for decades, which has led to an outdated statistical system that has led to a lack of proper response to monkeypox. Before the emergence of the monkeypox virus, the United States itself had mature testing and first-class means and safe vaccines, but the public system in the United States has been facing a long-term lack of funding, resulting in the outbreak of monkeypox in the United States, and even the most basic testing swabs and vaccine injection supplies are not available. >>>More
There have been more than 10,000 cases of monkeypox in the United States, and many netizens feel panicked when they see such news. Because the epidemic is not over yet, the monkeypox virus is still spreading. Although the monkeypox virus is not as serious as the epidemic, it can be transmitted from animal to animal and from person to person, so if you are not careful in your daily life, it will also lead to large-scale spread and adversely affect the human body. >>>More
