The vmonkey poop ou monkeypox starts to show signs of becoming a serious global affair. Although it has not yet been considered an endemic or pandemic disease, the World Health Organization (WHO) decided this Saturday to classify it as “Public Health Emergency of International Concern”. 9122r
A major concern about this is that in countries in Africa, where treatment and prevention with vaccines is still quite slow. And larger nations have not yet taken steps to send medicines and immunizations against this problem, which already has 16.836 cases in 74 countries around the world. Understand today's update:

Among the 15 scientists who decide whether a global emergency will be announced when a disease starts to grow in the world, nine of them were against the new classification of the monkey pox.
Among the reasons, they pointed out that the disease is beginning to stabilize in the US and Europe, as well as the risk of the LGBTQIA+ community suffering reprisals, since gay men were ing more positive tests. But nowadays there is information that contagion can happen either through body fluids, direct with blood, skin lesions or mucous membranes of infected animals.
Of the six scientists who agreed to announce that the disease is a global emergency, they announced their “moral duty to deploy all available means and tools to respond to the event”, as LGBTQIA+ community leaders are concerned about how this is affecting this minority.
The community currently most affected outside of Africa is the same community initially reported to be affected in the early stages of the HIV/AIDS pandemic.
WHO representatives in favor of today's announcement
In the early days of the HIV pandemic, the disease was ignored by much of society because it was associated with men who had sex with other men. As with the cases of monkeypox, it has been confirmed that the person's sexual orientation is not connected with the contagion.
Actions against monkeypox 201e
With today's announcement (23), the OMS released rules for countries around the world, regardless of whether cases of the disease have been reported or not. The division was made into four groups and the rules change according to the events of the last few days. Are they:
- Group 1: nations that had no records in the last 21 days or have not yet had any infected;
- Group 2: nations with imported cases (when the person became infected on an international trip) or cases originating from human-to-human transmission, including in key population groups and communities at high risk of exposure;
- Group 3: nations with suspected or confirmed cases of apepox, including past histories;
- Group 4: nations with the capabilities to produce vaccines and drugs on a large scale.
Much of the recommendations talk about isolation, testing actions in cases of any of the symptoms and of course, treatment done quickly and with the appropriate medicines. The guidelines can be found at official WHO announcement page.
We have an outbreak that has spread rapidly around the world through new modes of transmission that we understand very little about and that meet the criteria.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, Director-General of the WHO
Is there a vaccine? 5s3437
It is important to that there is still no proprietary vaccine to combat monkeypox, but having the (human) smallpox vaccine istered within four days of suspected infection can add about 85% protection against the disease that is now a global emergency.

One of the most basic ways to protect yourself is to keep personal hygiene up to date, such as washing your hands, avoid with wild animals ou patients, as well as avoiding with people who are possibly showing symptoms of the disease. Safe sexual behavior can also prevent contagion.

I have stones that were buried inside a jar that I found with a metal detector using the guidelines of a very old map that I received from a friend, in which this map belonged to the Jesuit priests, which was made by them, where I, following the information on the map, found with a metal detector a jar that contained several stones similar to meteorites which on the map say (uranium) and inside the jar they contained stones with a dark layer similar to coal and some attracted sisters and others very lightly and others did not attract. This jar was buried almost 200 years ago when the priests were expelled or killed by the Portuguese and these stones are still with me. But the experts don't give the slightest importance to this because they don't respond to emails or get in touch to find out if my meteorite is an angrita or not.
