America's monkeypox tally rose to seven presumptive cases Tuesday, health chiefs revealed today as a man in Washington state and an individual in South Florida was probed for the virus that is rampaging globally.
Officials in Washington said a man in King County — which includes Seattle — tested positive for the family of viruses that includes monkeypox after recently returning from abroad. He is now isolating at home and awaiting confirmatory test results from the Centers for Disease
Health chiefs warn it is a 'possibility' that other cases will crop up in the state, although say they have found 'no evidence' of onward transmission so far.
Florida also revealed a second suspected case today in another individual from Broward County — which borders Miami. It was not clear whether this was linked to the first reported Sunday in the same county.
America now has six suspected cases of monkeypox, with one also in New York City and two in Utah. One case has been confirmed in Boston, Massachusetts, so far.
None of the individuals have been named, but the CDC revealed Monday that they were all male and had travelled internationally over the last month.
Globally, the total has surged to more than 170 cases confirmed in at least 20 nations — mostly in Europe — including the UK, France and Italy.
Cases are being disproportionately detected among gay and bisexual men, with experts suggesting the outbreak is linked to sex at two raves in Spain and Belgium.
Concerns have also been raised that the disease — endemic to west Africa — has evolved to become more infectious after tests revealed it had acquired an extra 50 mutations. But the World Health Organization (WHO) said yesterday that there was no sign the virus had become more transmissible.

MonkeyPox, like AIDS, is a gay transmitted disease.
An observation:
Coronoviruses were always around, in various animal species, but generally failed to reproduce in humans — remember how SARS-1 and MERS fizzled.
Monkey pox was always around, in Africa, but failed to reproduce in other environments.
Current epidemics seems to be doing unusually well spreading... (and it would be wrong to think about it as only gay epidemics — pox viruses spread by any contact, so it will go beyond gays.)
Two such successes in a row?
Gain of function yet again — by the most brilliant Dr. Anthony Mengele?
“two in Utah”
Uh oh. Some missionaries getting up to hijinks while abroad?
well... since I am not sticking my pecker in others men’s exit holes or cozying up next to them in gay bathhouses, I think I will be fine.
Now Obama.. is probably doomed.
This outbreak of monkeypox is all centered on a gay sex festival (orgy) in Belgium called “Darklands” that took place Wednesday 4 May 2022 – Monday 9 May 2022.
From the Darklands website itself:
