As a former COVID19 contact tracer and cluster investigator, I am CONFIDENT the number of monkeypox infections is grossly underreported. And since there is no contact tracing happening, we will never have a real number.

The United States is entering a critical three-month period where monkeypox cases may continue to multiply, but no more vaccines are scheduled to arrive until October at the earliest.

And if the virus goes endemic, “it will be one of the worst public health failures in modern times … because it was so avoidable.” https://t.co/d3sngw3zkR
📍Worrisome with #BA5 in Australia that both hospital ICU admission and deaths are together rising, despite cases relatively flat— under-diagnosis and/or BA5 severity is higher (which #BA5 studies show it is vs BA2). ➡️This does not bode well for other countries.
