#the virus has already spread to europe as well

[quickhacked]

Okay so I love zombie stuff, I love seeing how they affect the world and how people respond to them, and your premise sounds fascinating.

Did the government do much to try getting the zombies under control after the safe zones were made, or did they think that would be good enough? How much of the population was left after the initial outbreak and how is that affecting things in the current setting?

I have more I could ask but I'll save it for later 🤣 also if these are things talked about in the story feel free to keep your answer here vague

HIII THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS <33 most of it is indeed gonna be mentioned in the book as well as the story unfolds but since it will be very long until i actually finish anything i'll go over most of it here, keeping only a few things vague for bigger plot twists but also i try to not use shock value in this story so you can probably already figure out what's really going on but that just makes the story more fun >:^)

so as a bit of background information: the virus starts off as a virus that pretty easily spreads from human to human and then as soon as people start turning to zombies it basically turns into a different mutation that kills the host a LOT faster than the original strain does, the original strain is still out there during the initial outbreak which happens in europe but eventually fades out the more prominent the zombie version of the virus becomes because victims of the original strain end up getting bitten before the virus kills and turns them so they die before they can spread it. i hope that makes sense. i feel like it does

ANYWAY since it's a regular virus at first and just starts turning people at some point seemingly randomly (but in reality it's not as randomly as what humanity thinks), the first wave of zombies is HUGE in like. west/central europe. because everyone who's infected just becomes a zombie and especially in city areas they then turn 1-3 people before they get killed since these zombies are FAST especially in the early stages. it does take a while for it to spread beyond europe but generally speaking the initial outbreaks in countries cause a large chunk of mainly city populations to get wiped out pretty fast, which leaves most of specifically europe and city areas in asia in ruins. other continents have more time to prepare which causes the lethality rate to be a little less high but for some reason still not by much... INTERESTING...

so the initial outbreak is in europe and then starts spreading rapidly over land to other countries and then continents as well. it differs from country to country what kind of measures are taken to try and control it but for Some reason it seems like no matter what they do the virus just. keeps spreading... INTERESTING... it does take a good few years before it's spread all across the globe which is a fascinating phenomenon to think about. imagine having to continue your life as normal while there's ZOMBIES running around on another continent. i'd cry myself to sleep every night

the united states specifically uses an advisory body made of several external organizations (both irl and fictional, so for example the world health organization would be part of it but also just a bunch of fictional organizations that are kind of like that) which helps determining what the best course of action is. they came up with the blueprint for the network of safe zones and tunnels connecting them together and since the story takes place 30 years after the initial outbreak, other countries are now also using that strategy to at least get people to safer areas while they work on trying to manage the wasteland

one of the fictional organizations here is matrix corp, which started as an independent medical research organization back in the 1980s and has since then grown to hold the monopoly over most of the medical research of the western world. next to research they also focus on developing rapid research methods to speed up testing and trials for creating vaccines and such, which is why they end up gaining popularity so quickly over the years with all the diseases the world has to deal with leading up to the zombie apocalypse

in the story itself, matrix is still in charge of a lot of decisions in the world when it comes to "the safety of humanity" since governments have put so much of their trust in them already during other outbreaks, which were all controlled by matrix pretty easily. this arguably gives matrix more power in the world than the actual governments themselves have which is also an interesting dynamic and it's explored more in the story itself, especially with some very interesting things the main characters learn on their journey back to los angeles >:^)

as for the wasteland surrounding the safe zones, in the united states specifically there's not much being done about it surprisingly but at the same time it's not really clear for both the reader and the characters as to why. as also mentioned in the summary, while the main characters are traveling they learn that there is SO much more life left in the wasteland than what the government wants them to believe which adds to what i said earlier about the discoveries they make on their journey. there's many things going on that will change their view on their own "safe" lives within the walls of los angeles forever

#asks #rindemption #ask:all that's left #SORRY THIS IS VERY LONG BUT I LOVE TALKING. AS YOU KNOW #i didn't mention any of the other fictional organizations because i'll be honest with you. i haven't thought of any yet SHJGFDGDFKGD #initially it was only matrix but i felt that was unrealistic... they've been there since the 1980s of COURSE there have to be more by now #also initially had the story set 100+ years in the future but that felt weird so i changed the timeline to affect the past #so the actual story is set around 2050-ish which makes a lot more sense i think :^)

[oh-yes-i-did-not]

Okay so for those either too young to remember or who were alive during but it never really affected them based on where they lived, Mad Cow Disease

Mad Cow Disease was thing in the late 80′s and the entire 90′s, all the way to early 00′s and it was an international scare. Like, we had disinfecting stations on international airports because of it.

It was a virus passed from animals to humans and this didn’t happen somewhere random in Asia, where, idk, bats and pigs interact and infect the food chain, but in Europe. In UK to be precise.

It affected only cows at first and only agriculture paid any attention, since any animal infected needed to be put down. Like no shit, those animals couldn’t even walk with how bad they were shaking and if you want to google this, be prepared. It doesn’t look nice, it looks ugly and horrifying and it will likely traumatize someone.

And the mode of transfer was not evident. There are videos and photos, showing cow carcasses being burned and someone trying to claim that was early days but that was very much not the reality in the beginning. In fact, all the research showed it is not possible for Mad Cow Disease to infect humans. In fact2, a similar disease was already known in lambs for decades and that one could not infect humans, so it was a no brainer to say, a similar disease in cows can also NEVER infect humans, so no precautions with the carcass needed.

But the thing is, how we processed meat had changed drastically between the lambs being a stable, grown at home meat, and then cows, or beef, becoming dominant with supermarkets. This is basically the “you see this, this is animal paste from a teletubby machine” video, except the paste wasn’t fed to humans. It’s known as meat and bone meal and it was all the leftover stuff from abattoirs, ground up and fed back to the animals as valuable protein.

You might see where this is going.

So let’s talk about prion diseases.

Well, as much as I, a random person know about them. Prions are proteins and proteins are not DNA or RNA, which are most likely familiar to anyone who has googled Covid, or any novel corona viruses in general. They’re the viruses a vaccine is made for.

Prion diseases are, in fact, mostly known because of cannibalism. Kuru is a famous disease among one specific tribe on Pacific Islands, caused by their tradition of consuming their relatives flesh after death. In fact, I just fact checked on which ocean and was told that the Kuru was mainly affecting kids and women because the men ate limbs and muscles and women and kids got the brain and basically all the best, fatty parts. Which, ironically, carried the disease.

And yes, in any survivalist culture fat, innards, and cartilage and the “bad parts” are the best because they contain the most nutrients so no, you do no get to twist this into the men taking the best, so fuck of terfs. This post is not for you.

Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease was already known by the time of Mad Cow Disease, it was a brain destroying disease affecting the elderly population. Mad Cow became variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease, or vCJD and was picked up because it mainly affected the young.

And in case you didn’t get it already, the link was infected cow carcasses being processed to meat and bone meal to be fed back to cows, because infected prion diseases spread through cannibalism. Or more specifically, spine and brain stem.

(so you’re relatively safe eating just the thigh or any muscle tbh)

So in the end, Mad Cow Disease didn’t kill that many people, only few hundreds, if I recall correctly.

But the thing that was found out about the prion diseases because of Kuru was that while some people exhibited symptoms and died really early, most had an incubation period of DECADES, aka 50 years. So the inevitable conclusion about vCJD is that it has only claimed it’s first victims and that majority are still waiting to appear and die.

Because the thing about prion diseases? There is currently no cure. And the fact that no one seems to remember this and that there is no awareness of it is not helping.

Monkeypox

Is a condom sufficient protection from monkeypox?

No, because monkeypox is transmitted in several ways:

Via mucous membranes, e.g. sex

Via skin contact

Via the respiratory system (breathing in the virus)

Via contaminated objects: bed sheets, utensils, door handles, probably also toilet seats (sufficient amounts of viruses have been found on patient toilet seats, this way of transmission has not been proven AFAIK but it makes sense for this virus (while for many other illnesses it’s nonsense))

Via the respiratory system? Does monkeypox cause a cough?

Yes, coughing is among the possible symptoms of monkeypox.

As long as I don’t have the pustules I can’t infect anyone, right?

No, already with the first very generic symptoms like fever and a headache you can infect others.

I’m over 40 and still got vaccinated against smallpox, am I safe?

It does give you some protection but you still should get vaccinated if you are at risk. You will get 1 dose instead of 2. (Info from German RKI, other countries might handle eligibility differently.)

Does a chickenpox vaccine give any protection?

No, chickenpox are misnamed and not related to smallpox or monkeypox (chickenpox is a herpes virus).

Can children get it?

As of Friday (2022-JUL-22) the WHO reported 72 pediatric cases (i.e. under 18), 42 of those under the age of 10.

Will it still remain mostly in the MSM community except for a relatively low number of cases?

That is unclear as it’s not certain what causes it to spread mostly there right now:

It could be purely a starter effect, just like in the beginning in Europe Covid mostly affected white financially well-off people not for any biological/medical reasons but because those are the largest group found at ski resorts and the after-ski parties there. In Europe the monkeypox outbreak is associated with one large Pride parade (I forgot which one, if someone cares I can try to find that info again), so it could be a coincidence.

Or it could be that anal sex carries a very high risk and because of the wide availability of PrEP condom usage may have lapsed.

Or it could be that gay men are much more likely to go to testing immediately when they show signs that could also indicate syphilis and straight people and other groups may not have noticed their outbreak yet.

In some countries non-MSM can hardly get tested (e.g. the US) and in some countries parents are actively discouraged from getting their children with suspicious rashes tested (e.g. the Netherlands).

Or it could be that men are more affected (just like men are twice as likely to die from Covid, which seems to be linked to Testosterone increasing the problems in blood vessels, while women are twice as likely to suffer from Long Covid). Then the virus would spread much faster in the MSM community than e.g. heterosexual or lesbian dating communities.

Currently there is a big concern that it will spread quickly in kindergartens, daycares, preschools and nurseries because little children have a lot of skin contact (as can be seen by how fast lice spread even though lice cannot jump or fly and never leave hair voluntarily if they cannot climb directly on other hair).

A professor has warned of a newly detected strain of Covid which is feared to be “more transmissible” as it continues to spread through several countries. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says the new JN.1 strain of the virus has already been found in the UK,...

[plethoraworldatlas]

It was the quiet that stood out to Tarja Sironen at the fur farm.

A specialist in emerging infectious diseases, Sironen has conducted research at fur farms for years. She helped develop a Covid vaccine that was deployed to the country’s mink population during the pandemic. She knows the industry well.

But when she and her colleagues went to a farm housing foxes and mink last week, the shrieking of the birds that normally surround the barns was gone, so thinned out were their flocks. Dead gulls littered the ground. The usual barking from the foxes was also missing.

“They were in such a bad condition,” Sironen said about the foxes she saw. She said she walked through two shelters, with some 100 meters of cages on both sides. Only a few had a healthy animal left. “Everything else was either dead or dying.”

The research team, decked out in full PPE, was witnessing the toll of the spread of a highly pathogenic avian influenza, H5N1, which has reached nearly every corner of the globe in recent years and decimated untold millions of birds, domestic and wild. But the virus hasn’t been restricted to birds. It is now causing outbreaks among mammals at a scale previously unseen, including in the past month at a number of Finnish fur farms, home to mink, foxes, and raccoon dogs.

...

Some 20 European countries have phased them out largely because of ethical reasons, but some scientists and policymakers are now invoking public health concerns as they call to shut them down, citing the outbreaks of the Covid-causing coronavirus on fur farms during the pandemic and now the second bird flu event in Europe in less than a year, following one on a Spanish mink farm last October.

As it stands now, the H5N1 virus does not infect people easily. But the fear is that uncontrolled spread in animals like mink gives the virus plenty of chances to evolve in ways that could enable it to spill over into people. Already in Finland, a paper from government researchers indicated the virus has spread from mammal to mammal at the farms — and in some cases has picked up mutations indicating an adaptation toward replicating in mammalian cells.

“These farms are a risk that are not very well controlled, and probably cannot be very well controlled,” said Isabella Eckerle, a virologist at the Geneva Centre for Emerging Viral Diseases, referring to how the farms squeeze normally solitary mammals into mass holdings and how they still have contact with birds and people. “We now have two examples, SARS-CoV-2, and avian influenza. I wonder, what else do we need?”

Cloud Computing Market Size, Share, Top Key Players, Growth, Trend and Forecast Till 2032

As part of Emergen Research's Global Cloud Computing Market Research Report, key business details and extensive geographical spread of the Cloud Computing industry have been analyzed. As well as a comprehensive qualitative and quantitative analysis, the study contains crucial statistics about the Cloud Computing market. A detailed forecast is provided until 2032 based on historical data from 2017 and 2018. Also included are profiles of established and emerging players, including business overviews, product portfolios, strategic alliances, and business expansion strategies. The global cloud computing market size is expected to reach USD 1,844.40 Billion in 2032 and register a revenue CAGR of 14.2% during the forecast period.

A business could occasionally find itself forced to choose a specific cloud provider. Since it is very difficult to transfer databases once they are set up in cloud computing, vendor lock-in can become a problem. This is particularly problematic for cloud migrations, which entail moving data to a completely different sort of environment and may require reformatting the data. In addition, cloud computing makes organizations more susceptible to cyber assaults that could end in data loss or leakage since they offer services to several users over the same network. Inadequate cloud security measures cause data leakage via cloud networks, which can cause contract violations, virus attacks, and theft of intellectual property. Hackers can also dictate how businesses deliver services to their clients or consumers. As a result, fewer company prospects and less money are coming in.

Breaking News: Europe Braces for Dengue Outbreak - Get a Glimpse of the Agonizing Symptoms of 'Break Bone' Fever

Breaking News: Europe Braces for Dengue Outbreak - Get a Glimpse of the Agonizing Symptoms of 'Break Bone' Fever Breaking News: Europe Braces for Dengue Outbreak - Get a Glimpse of the Agonizing Symptoms of 'Break Bone' Fever Europe is currently bracing for a dengue outbreak that could potentially affect millions. The World Health Organization had already warned earlier this year that the virus has been spreading at an alarming rate worldwide, and now it has hit the shores of Europe. A significant number of cases have already been reported within the continent's borders, with the pressure now on to control the situation before it spirals out of control. What is Dengue Fever? Dengue fever is a virus transmitted by mosquitoes that are commonly found in tropical and subtropical climates worldwide. The symptoms of dengue fever are diverse, and it can often be challenging to diagnose without professional medical assistance. The virus usually affects children and young adults and is known for its horrible symptoms, making it is an agonizing and life-threatening experience to those infected. Understanding the Symptoms of Dengue Fever One of the most well-known symptoms of Dengue fever is the excruciating pain it causes. This pain is referred to as 'break bone' fever, thus named because of the intense aches that can be felt in the muscles, bones, and joints. Additionally, the patient may experience high levels of fever along with headaches and rashes, inside their mouth, eyes, the body and more specifically on the hands and feet. It's when the more severe symptoms of the infection manifest, such as hemorrhaging and the Dengue Shock Syndrome - where low blood pressure occurs, that the situation can become potentially fatal. Europe's Battle with Dengue Fever The dengue virus has been reported in several European countries, making the outbreak a significant threat. Healthcare professionals are working non-stop to try to contain the situation. The public is being urged to take simple precautions, such as wearing protective clothing and using mosquito repellent. But, the global nature of the disease means that many members of the public need to take more specific precautions to protect themselves. Such as seeking guidance from their medical doctor before travelling to high-risk dengue fever affected countries, and using mosquito nets and screens to reduce the risks associated with mosquito bites. Summing up Dengue fever is not something that should be taken lightly. The painful symptoms and potential for fatality make it one of the most severe infections, and now, with Europe bracing for a probable outbreak, the importance of raising awareness about dengue fever need to be highlighted. Precautions must be taken not just to protect ourselves but to control the spread of the disease as a whole. It's imperative that everyone does their part in guaranteeing this. #DengueFever #BreakBoneFever #MosquitoBitePrevention #Healthcare #EuropeDengueFeverOutbreak #HEALTH Read the full article

Protecting Yourself and Those Around You: The Importance of Adult MMR Vaccination

As we go through life, we often encounter illnesses that can easily be prevented with proper vaccination. One of the most important vaccines we can get as adults is the MMR vaccine, which protects against measles, mumps, and rubella. While most people think of these diseases as childhood illnesses, they can actually affect people of all ages. In fact, adults are just as susceptible to these illnesses as children, and the consequences can be severe. Not only can these diseases cause serious complications, but they can also be deadly. That's why it's crucial for adults to get vaccinated and protect themselves, as well as those around them. In this article, we'll explore the importance MMR vaccine for adults and why it's essential for maintaining good health. So, let's dive in and learn why protecting yourself and those around you is so vital.

Why do adults need the MMR vaccine?

The three diseases covered by the MMR vaccine measles, mumps, and rubella are highly contagious. Viruses cause all three of these illnesses, and they spread through the air. They can pass from person to person through coughing sneezing, or just breathing.

Measles. This disease causes a fever, runny nose, and rash. It attacks the throat and lungs. Vaccinations have helped stop the spread of the disease in the U.S., but there are still cases reported. While immunization rates are on the rise around the world, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates there were 207,500 measles deaths in 2019. Measles outbreaks often happen in countries without strong childhood immunization programs. But outbreaks have also happened in Europe, South Africa, and the Philippines.

Mumps. This disease causes fever, fatigue, head and muscle aches, and swelling of the salivary glands. In men, it can cause the testicles to become inflamed. Mumps can lead to a loss of hearing, infection of the covering around the brain and spinal cord, and other serious problems. Mumps outbreaks do still happen in the U.S., but rarely.

Rubella. German measles This disease can cause a fever and rash. It's especially dangerous if a pregnant mother has it. Rubella can lead to serious birth defects, including heart problems, deafness, liver and spleen damage, and intellectual disability. If a woman has rubella while pregnant, there's at least a 20% chance their baby will have problems.

Who does not need the MMR vaccine?

Adults don't need the MMR vaccine if:

They have proof of vaccination already.

They have proof that they've already had measles or mumps and rubella.

Who should not have the MMR vaccine?

Adults who should not have the MMR vaccine include people in these groups:

Pregnancy. Pregnant women should not get the MMR vaccine due to risks to the baby. Women who get the MMR vaccine should wait 4 weeks before getting pregnant.

Life-threatening allergic reactions. Adults who have had a life-threatening allergic reaction to gelatin, a previous MMR vaccine, or a medication called neomycin should not get the vaccine.

Medical conditions. Adults should talk with their doctor if they:

Have HIV

Have any other immune system disorder

Have cancer or are being given cancer drugs or X-rays

Are taking steroids or other drugs that affect the immune system

Have had a low platelet count (a blood disorder)

Have had a blood transfusion or took blood products

Have a moderate or severe illness

What are the MMR vaccine ingredients?

As with many vaccines, the MMR vaccine works with the immune system to build up protection by putting a small amount of the virus into the body. The safest and most effective ingredients in the MMR vaccine used today include "attenuated" forms of each virus, which means they're live forms of the virus that have been made weak in medical labs.

What are the risks and side effects of the MMR vaccine?

For most adults, the benefits of the MMR vaccine outweigh the risks. A few people develop a short-term mild rash, fever, swollen glands, or pain and stiffness in the joints after getting the shot. More serious, and rare, side effects include a temporary low platelet count or serious allergic reaction.

Call your doctor if you have trouble breathing, dizziness, rapid heartbeat, hives, weakness, or other problems after vaccination.

'The consequences are terrible for farmers': avian flu worries grow as spring nears

With spring less than two weeks away, Maritime chicken farmers are increasingly concerned about the worldwide outbreak of avian flu, carried by migratory birds like geese and ducks.

Cases of H5N1 have been on the rise for more than a year.

The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) says more than 7.1 million birds have been impacted by the highly pathogenic virus in Canada, but the Maritime region has escaped the worst of it -- at least for now.

The CFIA says 12,000 birds have been impacted in Nova Scotia and fewer than 100 in New Brunswick.

Prince Edward Island has no known cases at the moment.

"I can confirm that there have been no HPAI [highly pathogenic avian influenza] outbreaks of this nature reported on P.E.I. since outbreaks began in Canada in December 2021," an agency spokesperson told CTV News via email Wednesday.

But farmers are deeply worried about the return of migratory birds, which spread the disease.

"We know we've been in a bit of a lull because, as the migratory season has kind of come and gone,” said Amy VanderHeide, chair of the Chicken Farmers of Nova Scotia.

“Now we're re-entering another migratory season, so we're seeing an influx in the wild bird population, but also in backyard flocks of chickens and other waterfowl."

"It started in Europe, and now it's kind of made its way around -- it's everywhere right now. So, it's unavoidable, no matter where you are in the world," she said.

"And the consequences are terrible for farmers."

On Wednesday, Nova Scotia Liberals released a statement urging the province to fund the development of a testing lab in the province.

"Nova Scotia already has an animal health lab in Truro. We need to expand its mandate and operations to address the urgent concerns about avian flu,” said Keith Irving, Nova Scotia’s agriculture shadow minister and Liberal MLA for Kings South.

"Right now in Nova Scotia, we do not have a lab that's certified for testing for diseases like avian influenza, or other things like African swine fever," said VanderHeide.

"We're the only province in Atlantic Canada that doesn’t have a lab to do those tests, which puts us at a real disadvantage if it came to an outbreak," she said.

"Right now, we are sending samples to either Guelph or Winnipeg. Fredericton can do some testing for us. It all depends on where an outbreak is right now and it's all done by priority so any time that it takes is time that the disease can spread," said VanderHeide.

But the province's agriculture minister suggested such a move would be a federal responsibility.

"CFIA is the lead on this and they're responsible for testing. We have an animal health lab that's certified to meet all of our daily testing needs, but going beyond that would require national certification in Canadian bio-security standards and would need significant upgrades in ventilation and wastewater treatment in order to meet that standard," Greg Morrow told CTV News.

"We do have an arrangement with our colleagues in New Brunswick and we're very thankful for that. Their lab is surveillance-accredited, and it's the only surveillance-accredited lab in Atlantic Canada, so they're there to help us if something should happen."

Still, Morrow said the virus was an "ongoing concern."

"We continue to work with our partners at CFIA and industry to make sure we're staying on top of things," he said.

"Compared to other regions, we've certainly done very well, and that's a credit to our industry for all the biosecurity measures they've put in place and been diligent about following," said the minister.

"That being said, we know we're always at the mercy of migratory birds, so things could change quickly and we have to be prepared," said Morrow.

Just last month, the virus topped the agenda at an international meeting and there are fears it could infect humans.

In rare cases, it's already happened.

Despite concerns about returning migratory birds, Maritime chicken producers insist their products are safe for consumers.

"The chicken that you're buying from the store is safe,” said VanderHeide. “Nothing that would ever be infected with avian influenza would make it to the store shelf. But there isn't a high risk of it being transferred to humans.”

Still, she's urging people with backyard flocks to keep them clean and stay vigilant.

"If your backyard flock were to be diagnosed with it, it does have effects on other farms in the area, so it could cause some slowdowns in the supply chain," she said.

Bernie hindsight 2020

It’s a goal that should unite New Yorkers of all stripes. The goal should be not just holding people responsible for the mistakes that were made, but also learning from them. Understanding what went wrong in those early months – and bolstering the state’s defenses against future pandemics – ought to be a top priority in Albany. As led by Governor Cuomo for the past decade, the state’s public health infrastructure proved to be underprepared, ill-equipped and fatefully slow to act in a burgeoning crisis. When the system stumbles, as it did in 2020, the consequences can be catastrophic. When it works well, the public health system quietly saves lives on a large scale by preventing diseases from spreading instead of treating people after they get sick. It consists largely of scientists in government agencies rather than clinicians in hospitals. In February 2020, the state’s first line of defense against the virus should have been its public health system – the branch of health care focused on caring for large populations rather than treating individual patients. The challenge for leaders today is to properly benefit from that hard-won hindsight. With the benefit of hindsight is it clear that waiting was a massive mistake. Had officials taken stronger preventive measures back then, they might have contained the outbreak before it spiraled out of control, killed more than 53,000 New Yorkers, threw millions out of work and disrupted normal life for more than a year.īased on the limited information available to them at the time, the state’s leaders misjudged the scale of what New York faced. The state missed its best chance to save lives not in March or April, when infections soared and hospitals filled up, but in early February, when the virus arrived and started spreading before anyone noticed. One lesson deserves more attention from Albany: The public health system matters. Better-controlled outbreaks in countries such as South Korea demonstrate the value of public health preparedness and could serve as a model for New York.Īs New York emerges from the worst pandemic in a century, its citizens face a new threat to their lives and economic well-being – the danger that their leaders will fail to learn from a painful experience.To date, none of the Legislature’s pandemic-related hearings has focused on the critical missteps of the state’s early response.The state’s early response was undermined by flawed guidance from the federal government, inadequate planning and stockpiling, limited consultation with experts, exaggerated projections and poor cooperation between federal, state and local officials, among other issues.In the three weeks between New York’s first positive test and the governor’s lockdown order, the statewide caseload mushroomed from an estimated 40,000 to 1 million – which was likely the peak of the first wave of infections.When the state’s first COVID-19 case was formally confirmed on March 1, officials underestimated how far it had already spread and reacted slowly and ineffectively – delays that would contribute to the high death toll.Officials failed to heed warning signs, such as an early March spike in flu-like illness in New York City emergency rooms.Although outbreaks in China and Europe had signaled the danger to come, New York officials initially discouraged the public from taking precautions.The state’s outbreak likely began in early February but spread undetected for weeks because of problems with CDC-produced test kits.In the decade leading into 2020, state lawmakers reduced funding and staff for public health while putting more resources into Medicaid.In terms of speed and deadliness, New York’s novel coronavirus pandemic ranks among the worst in the world.

Zika virus: what is it and what does it cause?

The Zika virus, contrary to common thought, is a virus that comes from afar; it remained in the dark for almost 70 years: it was isolated in a monkey in the Zika forest in Uganda as early as 1947, but the first case of infection human history dates back to 1954, in Nigeria. However, it is only since the early months of 2015 that this viral agent has begun to cause a growing fear due to its rapid spread in Latin American countries. In fact, within a few months, about 1.3 million cases of suspected Zika infection were recorded in Brazil alone. Before know about treatment, one must know how Zika Virus Started.    

This mosquito has been absent from Western Europe for a few decades, although the potential for reintroduction cannot be ruled out. Another vector of the zika virus is the Aedes albopictus mosquito, the famous tiger mosquito, which also reproduces well in our country. For transmission to occur, the mosquito must bite an infected person. Transmission is also likely to occur via blood transfusion.

Zika virus: 5 things to know and how to protect yourself

The Zika virus was first discovered in 1947 in some monkeys; however, it only started spreading in epidemic form in 2015 in South America.

A Zika virus infection is asymptomatic in 80% of cases. Possible symptoms include fever, rash, vomiting, and muscle and joint pain.

Consequences: There are few known deaths attributable to the Overturning Zika virus. In the period of pregnancy, this involves severe malformations of the skull and head of the infant. 

Contagion: species mainly stings during the day and early evening hours; moreover, it is particularly aggressive in the shade and at dusk.

Spread:  Zika virus current news from the WHO; the Zika virus has already been traced in 33 different countries. Particularly affected are the Latin American countries, such as Brazil and Columbia, but also, for example, the Caribbean islands.

Protection: Before embarking on a trip to an area where tropical diseases are present, consult a doctor specializing in tropical medicine and follow his advice. If possible, always wear light-colored clothing that covers the whole body. During the day and evening, protect yourself using a mosquito spray proven against yellow fever mosquitoes and protect the bed using a mosquito net.

The only method currently available to prevent infection is to avoid the bites of vector mosquitoes, which circulate from dawn to dusk, by implementing the common indications for other diseases transmitted by insects. It is also advisable to avoid unprotected sexual relations with people returning from the countries concerned and, for women seeking pregnancy, to postpone travel to countries at risk.

The level of international alarm remains high, especially in view of future tourist flows to South America, both for the summer period and the next Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro. In this climate of general uncertainty and fear, at an early stage concerning prospects for immunization, mass prevention, information, and awareness campaigns play a fundamental role and become a powerful weapon in limiting disease outbreaks.

How effective is the monkeypox vaccine? Scientists scramble for clues as trials ramp up | Science

When monkeypox suddenly started spreading globally in May, the world was fortunate in one respect: a vaccine was available. MVA, originally developed by Bavarian Nordic as a smallpox vaccine, was already licensed for monkeypox in Canada and the United States. EU regulators have since followed suit. Vaccine supplies are limited, and no doses have been shared with countries in Africa that have long been affected by monkeypox. But in Europe and North America, clinics have by now delivered thousands of doses to people in high-risk groups.

There’s little doubt the vaccine can help, but that’s about all that’s certain. Exactly how well MVA protects against monkeypox and for how long is not known. Nor is it clear how much protection is lost by giving just a single dose rather than the recommended two doses, as some countries are doing to stretch supply, or how much protection a vaccine given after exposure can offer.

But the ethical and logistical complexities of the monkeypox crisis, which is overwhelmingly affecting men who have sex with men (MSM), are making these questions hard to answer. Placebo-controlled clinical trials are fraught because MVA is already licensed and people are clamoring to get it. And vaccine clinics are often set up at short notice as doses become available, making it harder to organize a trial and enroll subjects. Researchers are responding with a plethora of inventive trial designs.

The first evidence that smallpox vaccines also protect against monkeypox came from a study in the 1980s in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (then called Zaire), where the virus occasionally jumps from animals to people, who then infect others in their household. A study among patients’ contacts suggested smallpox vaccination was 86% effective at preventing monkeypox as well. But the study looked at a small number of cases, the virus was genetically quite different than the one now spreading, and the smallpox vaccine was an older one with more side effects; MVA was developed as a safer alternative.

MVA was licensed for monkeypox based on data from animal experiments and the immune response it triggers in humans. But its efficacy has barely been tested in people, and not at all for preventing sexual transmission, which results in “very significant mucosal exposure, which is not the same thing as just brushing up against somebody,” says Anne Rimoin, an epidemiologist at the University of California, Los Angeles.

So far, there’s scant data on how well the vaccine is working in the current outbreak. Among 276 individuals who received a shot at a Paris hospital as post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) after reporting a high-risk contact, 12 developed a monkeypox infection, French scientists reported in a recent preprint, 10 of them within 5 days of vaccination and two after more than 20 days. (That some people would develop monkeypox a few days after being infected is not surprising, says Jade Ghosn of Bichat Hospital, who led the study. “The vaccine is not a miracle, it needs time to be effective.” But the two cases occurring 22 and 25 days after vaccination are a surprise, especially because no additional high-risk contact could be established.) The study had no control group, however, making it impossible to tell how many people would have developed monkeypox if no one had been vaccinated. And people eager to be vaccinated may have lied about having had a high-risk contact. “That makes results from these studies on PEP really hard to evaluate,” says immunologist Leif Erik Sander of the Charité clinic in Berlin, who’s setting up a vaccine study in Germany.

A randomized trial—in which one group receives the vaccine and the other does not—would avoid such problems. Without a randomized study, “you can end up in this evidence limbo and find that if you had just done the trial, you would have been in a much better situation,” says biostatistician Natalie Dean of the University of Florida.

Giving a control group a placebo instead of a presumably effective vaccine is ethically dicey, many researchers say. But University of Oxford epidemiologist Richard Peto sees another way. Because demand for the vaccine is so much higher than supply, “Why not randomize the order in which people in the highest risk group are called in?” Peto asks. So far, however, no one seems to have taken up that idea.

Sander considered a randomized design but decided against it. “There was a lot of pushback,” he says. Instead, he has started a so-called cohort study in which he hopes to enroll 5000 vaccinated and 10,000 unvaccinated people at risk of monkeypox and follow them for 12 months. (Over time, some of the unvaccinated people will receive the shot so the groups may become more similar in size.) So far, about 800 people have been enrolled.

The groups may differ in ways other than their vaccine status—people with lots of sexual contacts may try harder to get vaccinated, for example—but there is still an element of randomization, Sander says: Many doctors are using lottery-type procedures to decide who gets the vaccine first.

A cohort study in France is taking another approach. There, MSM already enrolled in a study of sexually transmitted diseases—and deemed at high risk of monkeypox—will get MVA in the next 2 months. Ghosn, who runs the study, hopes to have all participants vaccinated by the end of September and plans to compare infection rates before and after vaccination.

Another option is a “test-negative” design, in which researchers look at people who seek testing for monkeypox and compare the percentages of people who were vaccinated among those who test positive and negative. This is “probably the strongest nonrandomized approach to measuring vaccine efficacy,” says Michael Marks, an epidemiologist at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine who is planning a vaccine trial soon with colleagues in Spain.

The test-negative setup requires good linkage between vaccination and testing data. “If we can solve that issue we may use such a design in our study,” Marks says. The Canadian province of Ontario is going ahead with a similar design, says Jeff Kwong of the University of Toronto. The drawback is that testing and vaccination data alone can’t answer many other questions, such as how immunity develops over time or whether disease severity is different among the vaccinated and the unvaccinated; that requires additional studies.

The U.S. National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) does plan a randomized trial, aimed at finding out if the vaccine supply can be stretched by giving people much smaller doses. Participants will either get two full doses or two one-fifth doses 4 weeks apart; a third arm may be added to test one-tenth of the normal dose, says NIAID’s John Beigel, who is involved in designing the study. The lower doses will be injected into the skin, which is known to cause a more vigorous immune response than the standard subcuteanous shot. But the study, expected to start in September, will only test whether fractional doses trigger a similar immune reaction as the full dose; it won’t measure vaccine efficacy directly.

One strategy not tested in the trial, even though it is being used, is giving just one full dose. Available data suggest that regimen is inferior to two full doses, Beigel says: “We don’t think it’s scientifically supported.”

With so many unanswered questions it’s hard to provide good vaccine information to those at risk, says Will Nutland, a U.K community organizer who runs an organization for MSM sexual health. That should not deter people from seeking the shots, he says: “I think most people understand … that it is better to receive some level of protection than no protection at all.”

Monkeypox Can Be Contained: Experts Urge Testing And Vaccination

Although the monkeypox virus does not spread as widely and rapidly as COVID-19, medical experts stress that the only way to avoid a new epidemic is through an early response from health authorities and the public. Key steps are getting tested, vaccinated, and sharing information through public health campaigns.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), more than 4,000 cases of monkeypox have been detected in 44 countries around the world, including 200 in 25 states in the U.S. California, New York, Florida, and Illinois are the most affected. No one has died of monkeypox in the country, according to the CDC, but in Africa, the virus has claimed the lives of 73 people.

The virus’ most recognizable symptom is a rash that can look like pimples or blisters that appear on the face, inside the mouth, appendages, and the genital area. Other symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches and backaches, and swollen lymph nodes.

“98% of the cases have occurred in men and that’s a striking epidemiologic feature,” said Dr. William Schaffner, Professor of Medicine in the Division of Infectious Diseases at the Vanderbilt University School of Medicine, during a media briefing (Watch complete coverage) hosted by Ethnic Media Services on June 24th.

The virus was spread initially among gay and bisexual men at gay pride events in Europe, particularly in the Canary Islands, Berlin, and France. “At the moment it is a viral infection rather confined to a distinctive group of people (who) should be very careful about their current sexual practices, avoiding anonymous sex, and being personally clean, inspecting themselves and their partners to see whether they have lesions,” said Schaffner.

“This is a virus which is spread through close personal contact, usually skin to skin contact among humans”, explained Shaffner. “It can be spread via droplet transmission, if people are very close within three feet, usually over a long period of time, or through contaminated towels and perhaps bedding or sex toys… The incubation period could take up to two weeks.”

Even though it found an epidemiological opportunity to spread among men who have sex with men, “monkeypox is not a gay disease,” stressed Dr. Gregg Gonsalves, Associate Professor of Epidemiology at the Yale Institute for Global Health and Co-Director of the Global Health Justice Partnership.

Gonsalves, an expert on gay men’s health, warned that “stigmatization and discrimination” will make it harder to confine and contain the virus. “If you clamp down on LGBTQ Pride parades across the world over the next few months or use police or other law enforcement, you’re likely to drive people away from care and away from public health officials who don’t want to let it spread.”

The new CDC guidance on monkeypox, includes key information on symptoms, vaccines, prevention, contact tracing, and resources for health care providers and the general public as well.

“In the US context many of the people who are in charge of our public health institutions right now are old HIV doctors… so there’s been ongoing communication between the LGBT and HIV community and the federal and state governments, unlike what we saw 40 years ago with AIDS in the very beginning,” said Gonsalvez.

From Wild Animals

The monkeypox is a member of the larger family of orthopox viruses, which include the mousepox, the camelpox, the cowpox, and the smallpox already eradicated from the face of the earth, explained Ben Neuman, Professor of Biology and Chief Virologist of the Global Health Research Complex at Texas A&M.

It was first identified in primate species in Nigeria, West Africa, a strain that produces milder infections in comparison with a second major strain detected in Central Africa, which is more severe. “The virus has been associated with two kinds of wild animals: the Congo rope squirrel, and the Gambian giant pouched rat,” Neuman added. “As with other viruses that come from rodents, you tend to see increases when there has been a particularly rainy year.”

Given its characteristics of transmission, Neuman warned that monkeypox “could spread easily inside a crowded dance club or at a concert or any other venue where you have lots of people together and they’re having a good time… It’s not something that is scary right now, but could get out of hand.”

Other places where there is close physical contact are homeless shelters, refugee camps, gyms, and health clubs.

The only thing that is keeping that virus from getting out to the rest of the world, Neuman argued, is the “relative geographic and economic isolation of the area... I do not believe that we can count on that as an effective stop-gap in the future.”

The virus has been growing in places with less access to testing and fewer hospitals that can actually confirm the numbers, which are almost certainly underreported. The recommendation from experts is to get tested through a PCR, a similar test to the one used to diagnose COVID. The CDC is working on expanding the number of locations where testing can take place.

There is also a vaccine available for the prevention of monkeypox in people ages 18 and older – the Jynneos vaccine – approved in 2019 by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It requires two doses, four weeks apart, but doctors noted that the supply worldwide is not robust. The medication tecovirimat (TPOXX) has also proven to have some effect in protecting people.

“(In the US) we spend 3 cents on every health care dollar on public health. It’s a people problem and an infrastructure problem. Hopefully, with COVID, monkeypox, and HIV, we would learn the lesson of making a real investment and avoiding this blooming cycle,” he concluded.
