Monkeypox: ‘mpox’ is a viral infection
Spread via:
- Close contact
- Clothes/towels/all contaminated surfaces
- Droplet & aerosol (airborne)
- Human to human & animal to human
- Asymptomatic transmission has even reported (getting it from someone not showing symptoms yet)

Risk of death 0.1% to 10% depending on population it has been in so far
So 10% at worst from outbreaks so far, but on large scale spread, unknown.

How long are you infectious?
- asymptomatic transmission (before symptoms occur) has even reported
- Infectious until all your lesions have healed over & new skin has grown over them
- remember it’s airborne & contaminated surfaces can including clothes/bedclothes/chairs etc

Is there a treatment for acute infection?
- Don’t be silly, of course there isn’t unless you are part of a trial
- Acute treatments for secondary complications
- But there are mpox vaccines
Can you get it more than once?
- yes, yes you can.

What’s mpox clade I & why does it matter?
- There are 2 broad clades of mpox virus: clade I & II. Clade II was behind the global mpox outbreak that began in 2022.
- Clade I leads to more severe disease & death than clade II.
- Clade 1 is currently circulating.

Remember, you are currently in year 5 of an airborne pandemic.
If you are masking, washing hands, taking other mitigations against it you are ahead of the curve for #Mpox2024 already.
As for H5N1, no human-to-human sustained transmission yet but global bird & other mammal
