Unlike the COVID-19 virus, which is spread through the air and respiratory droplets, spreading monkeypox requires much closer contact. Sharing bedding, clothing or a toothbrush with an infected person would create greater risk, the officials said on the call.
In Massachusetts, where the one US case has been confirmed, state health officials are interviewing the patient to find out who they may have had contact with. Contract tracing will be a vital part of the response to the monkeypox outbreak, the senior health officials said.
The US recorded two cases of monkeypox last year in travelers who had recently visited Nigeria.

No surprises, but a problem for the media, and the Dems in that one of their core constituencies is too obviously implicated. Going to be hard to weaponize the politics around this, but they will try.
My Uncle used to live in Tampa Bay, but he moved to Las Vegas.
“Contact tracing is vital”
I see where this is heading…round up those gays.
"You said minkey."
I guess letting millions of Africans into Europe and America was just another way to kill us off.
> Honestly, who f*ks a monkey?
You’d be surprised.
Democrats to accuse Republicans of racism if Republicans say the word “monkeypox” too many times in 3.....2......1
