The good news is that there are effective treatments, and a working vaccine -- if you are among the contacts, or among the contacts of contacts. Here is the latest:
. . .The Netherlands has recorded its first case of the new variant of the infectious disease mpox, confirmed late last week. The patient was unvaccinated and had not recently traveled abroad but had engaged in sexual contact with other men, caretaker Health Minister Jan Anthonie Bruijn said in a letter to Parliament on Tuesday.
The patient has been placed in isolation, and the risk of wider transmission appears low, Bruijn said. The public health service (GGD) is tracing the source of the infection and the man’s recent contacts. Men who have sex with men remain the main high-risk group for mpox, known recently as the monkeypox virus. . . .
Onward, resolutely. Be careful out there.
