The Outbreak Of Clade 1b Mpox Continues To Reach New Nations, In Europe: This Time, Switzerland -- Disconcerting News.


Well. . . he sure picked a good moment to cut off international aid to arrest epidemics and pandemics, eh? Damn.

This is all rather repetitive, and iterative, at this point. He's made the world a far less safe place, speaking from a human public health/viral spread point of view.

Per CIDRAP's on the spot reporting, overnight -- then:

. . .A traveler returning to Switzerland from Africa has been confirmed to have clade 1b mpox. This is the first detection of clade 1b in Switzerland, which is more virulent compared to the clade 2 virus that circulated the globe in 2022 primarily among men who have sex with men.

"The person concerned is in isolation. There is no risk of infection to others," the Swiss Federal Office of Public Health said. . . .


Separately, it looks to be another volatile day -- down on Wall and Broad. . . as Tangerine 2.0's self-immolating chaos tour rumbles onward, with neither a point, nor a purpose -- even his own people admit it now.

And US House Speaker Johnson can no longer pretend everything is moving along fine, with this train-wreck -- Trump's funding blueprint legislation in the House had to be pulled overnight, as at least five GOP legislators have balked. . . at just this lack of any sensible, coherent goal. . . other than chaos, itself, out of 1600 Penn.

Charming. Remember of course, none of Trump's black Sharpie scribbles mean anything without funding / appropriations from Congress. And he's hit the wall there -- even inside his own party. The lame-duckedness, is arriving a lil' earlier than I originally guessed -- but net, net. . . it is good news.
