Recently, confirmed cases of monkeypox virus have been reported in countries around the world, which has triggered a high degree of vigilance around the world. It is important to note that monkeypox virus is not an emerging threat, but has long been emerging in places such as Africa. However, the most shocking thing is that the virus quickly spread to Western developed countries such as the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Spain, and Portugal in a short period of time. The outbreak of this infectious disease and the shadow of the new crown virus are worrying. The World Health Organization is highly concerned about the outbreak, but the source of the virus remains mysterious.
The monkeypox virus, an infectious virus discovered as early as 1958, is most special in its ability to spread between humans and animals. Monkeys are not restrained, and the virus can be transmitted in a variety of ways, including blood, body fluids, wounds, and even respiratory bacteria. After infection, patients experience a range of symptoms such as fever, headache, back pain and lymphoma, and rashes and blisters may appear on the surface of the skin.
However, the most worrying thing is that the monkeypox virus has a fatality rate of up to 10% compared to the new coronavirus. Preventive measures are relatively simple, including disinfection with medical alcohol or 84 disinfectant, frequent hand washing, hygiene, and even smallpox vaccination to provide 85% protection. Overall, monkeypox virus is much less contagious than coronavirus, so there's no need to be too nervous.
However, what has attracted widespread attention is that there was an accident involving experimental monkeys in the United States, and a series of questionable measures followed. In April, several monkeys escaped in a car accident while transporting experimental monkeys at a U.S. biological laboratory. Although the monkeys were eventually recaptured, the laboratory strangled them all and destroyed the bodies. The act has raised many doubts, with the lab calling it a study of a virus that spreads in monkeys without providing further details.
More worryingly, there are reports that a woman accidentally touched the monkey's box after the car accident, and she later developed unknown symptoms, but the United States did not disclose her specific illness. Is there some connection between this incident and the current outbreak of monkeypox virus? Has the highly contagious monkeypox virus been deliberately bred to be used as a biological weapon?
Although there is no direct evidence to support these speculations, some netizens have found that laboratories in the United States and Canada once kept the world's last live strain of smallpox virus. Although monkeypox cases in the United States are currently small, the government's emergency procurement of 13 million smallpox vaccines has sparked speculation. The truth may take time to come out, but the incident remains alarming.
In this information age, we need to remain vigilant and focused on global health security. Although monkeypox virus is relatively less contagious, we cannot take it lightly. In the future, we need more transparency and international cooperation to address this issue and ensure global health and safety.
