Monkey Pox - Liverpool

Not again

Whaddya mean ? Has it been here before ?

I thought they found it in cornwall last week ?

Maybe they should've put the monkey into quarantine on arrival

Typical stupid comment.

First case was reported in Cornwall last week - the patient being a Nigerian national staying at a naval base.

The latest case was diagnosed in Blackpool - the patient being transferred to
The Liverpool Royal hospital for specialist treatment.

I've clearly misunderstood . I automatically assumed that the victim of this disease was a monkey (hence the name)

I blame the Russians .

If you don't someone else MAY well do

Did I read somewhere there could be up to 50 cases of this African muck about in the UK already?  How contagious is it, ffs?

I know it's only the Sun but …

"Over the weekend more than 50 people were warned they may have been exposed to monkeypox after the first case of the deadly disease was recorded in the UK."

Monkeypox is a rare viral infection that isn't spread easily between people.

Transfer of the virus is usually only possible through close physical contact.

Monkeypox has a mortality rate of between one and 10 per cent.
