**There have now been 546 cases of monkey pox in our country. That is what the health institute Sciensano reports. At the moment, only men between 16 and 71 years of age are affected. Twenty-eight patients have been admitted to hospital, no one has yet died from the disease in Belgium.**
Health institute Sciensano published a new report with figures on the monkey pox virus in our country. The number of infections keeps increasing. In total, there are already 546 confirmed cases of monkey pox in our country. Last week, there were 482 confirmed infections.
In Flanders, 304 cases were reported (56 percent), in Brussels 187 cases (34 percent) and in Wallonia 55 cases (10 percent). The virus continues to spread mainly through sexual contact among men. In our country, only men between 16 and 71 years old have been infected so far. But to be clear: anyone can catch the virus, it is transmitted through skin-to-skin contact.
The symptoms of 484 people are also known. Almost all patients (96 percent) had typical skin lesions, about 66 percent also had general symptoms such as fever, feeling unwell and 30 percent had swollen lymph nodes. Twenty-eight patients were also hospitalised. No one has yet died from monkeypox.
And the first woman too. So people can finally stop it with the ItS oNLy GaY MEn narrative.
It seems infection rate is slowing down. It’s a shitty blessing in disguise that the symptoms are so visible and it’s not airborne in the classic sense like a cold, flu, Covid, think less through breathing and more like someone spitting/sneezing in your face.
Vrt: ‘Most of them are male’. Literally 545 of the 546 are male. Understatement of the year r/technicallythetruth 😀
(other article apparently)
Already or only?
Die apenpokken maken mij zo irrationeel bang? Ik had al een beetje smetvrees na covid, maar nu is het écht extreem. 🙃
