The monkeypox virus is currently spreading rapidly through Africa causing millions to become seriously sick. This illness has quickly spread through Africa due to it being transmitted through touch. The virus hasn’t only been found in Africa though, there have been 3000 cases of monkeypox found in England alone. These cases caused several flights to be canceled due to the government trying to prevent another COVID like disaster.
Monkeypox dosen’t only travel from person to person. You can get it by touching or ingesting something that has the virus on it. So if one person catches it and goes somewhere populated they can easily spread it without any knowledge of the fact and cause an epidemic with ease.
If you are wondering Monkeypox has been discovered in the US with 32,000 cases discovered as of late 2023 and early 2024. The virus has been discovered in many states on the westcoast mainly but some cases have been found towards the southern states like Texas and New Mexico. At this rate it has been rumored that another lockdown could potentially take place and close down the US once again.
