Hummm. I thought CDC said it could not be passed from human to human.

For the first time in the United States, monkeypox may have spread from person-to-person. A southeastern Wisconsin health care worker may have contracted monkeypox from a human patient, state epidemiologist Jeff Davis said.

It was only a matter of time.

Ping.

I have seen SE Wisconsin health dept. officials on TV the last few nights, and my bet is they (including the CDC) are FREAKING OUT right now while trying to maintain a public calm. The number of states where suspected and confirmed cases are showing up is growing by the day, now this human-to-human transmission.

The spreading of monkeypox!

"Hummm. I thought CDC said it could not be passed from human to human."

Yup, they got caught. They know the track record of this disease in Africa and that includes human - human transmission.

They know different, as it is known to be transmitted person to person in Africa.

I think prairie dogs are being singled out, when it ought to be that darn Gambian rat.

Then of course you have to keep the CDC in perspective. How large did the aids infection numbers get, and after 30+ years, they still do not name names and track the carriers. That little bath house flareup could have been extinguished long before it became a pc epidemic, but NOOOOOOOO! So you pay for the bad and take the good info when you get it. Seems like we have more trustworthy source on the internet.
