And doubly dangerous -- with USAID still more or less hamstrung and sidelined. By Trump. The viral outbreaks will continue, and likely even accelerate -- as we sit on our thumbs. Dammit. And excess deaths will follow, inexorably. Always. Here's the latest:
. . .Tanzania has confirmed its first two cases of mpox, the health ministry said Monday. Two individuals exhibiting symptoms were isolated and tested on Sunday, health minister Jenista Mhagama said in a statement on X.
"Among the suspects, one is a truck driver who traveled from a neighboring country to Dar es Salaam," the statement said.
In a report by the African Union's health agency last week, 6,034 cases of mpox have been confirmed since January in 22 countries, resulting in 25 deaths. . . .
All of this is so profoundly. . . frustrating. Frustrating -- because it is almost all. . . avoidable. Damn.
