EU says further mpox cases are likely to be found soon in Europe | DW Analysis

There is no need to close borders, until there is a need, but by that time it will alreeady be too late. Anyone here with a memory longer than 4 years?

[@DaleHartley]

Just get vaccinated.

[@emilysigmund1255]

This disease doesn't spread the same way covid does. Mpox isn't airborn, so it usually spreads via open wounds and then throughout a household. Thus it's hard to catch it from a stranger without physical contact, and people don't tend to touch people they don't know.

[@xena2559]

Close borders. The oldest working method.

[@maximusasauluk7359]

"too late" for what? The disease is infectious but just the fact that it's not respiratory, means it's far less dangerous than COVID was...Ebola is deadly too, yet all we hear is crickets 🦗 because it's way of infection is easy to contain. Also, COVID was infectious BEFORE symptoms began aka it was silently infecting. Mpox infects when visible symptoms start, making it even easier to contain.

[@maximusasauluk7359]

​@@xena2559For this disease it's not necessary. It will spread to Europe yes, infect more than the previous strain yes, not nearly enough to strain healthcare systems. That's literally all that will happen. People are anxious because of COVID but they need to read a bit about viruses.

[@jillridling2431]

It's already spread to six countries in Africa including Kenya... impossible to lock down very large African countries from one another...the borders are long and porous. Nairobi is a major transit hub to North Africa and Europe, and people can be asymptomatic for up to 4 days while shedding virus...not easy to screen for. Here we go again!

Because that costs money and the countries where the outbreaks are happening are poor. The global northwest just doesn't care enough about other peoples - even when it would benefit ourselves (once again) to do so. So nothing of use will be done to stop this early.
