Can some doctors here talk about Monkeypox risk and outlook?
Reddit was full of great content for covid but it seems empty for Monkeypox info. I can’t tell if pandemic fatigue is leading people to not talk more about this. What’s going on?
https://www.youtube.com/c/Campbellteaching/videos has updates on monkeypox. He's a registered nurse in the NHS. Since everybody has a bias: he's pro vaccination, pro masks, pro social distancing (when it came to COVID). He usually comments on latest studies and has done so for two years.
A doctor told me this: Transfer is through close physical contact. Risk higher for people that have anal sex. It's possible to transfer without sexual contact (injured skin), but sex is the most common.
Outlook seems to be pretty good; there's apparently very few deaths resulting from this outbreak. I think survivors are likely to have some cross immunity for smallpox.
