The Mississippi State Department of Health issued the following statement.
Today, the Mississippi State Department of Health is reporting its first case of Monkeypox in a Mississippi resident. The specimen was tested at the Mississippi State Department of Health Public Health Laboratory. An investigation to identify persons who may have encountered the patient while they were infectious is ongoing. Development (incubation) of the disease after exposure is one to two weeks.
Nationally – as of July 22, 2022 – 2,891 cases have been confirmed with no reported deaths. While this is the first reported case in MS, it remains likely that other cases will be identified as well.
Transmission can occur with close skin-to skin contact – kissing, cuddling or sex – with an infected person. Transmission can also occur by touching clothing or linens, bedding, or towels of an infected person, or inhaling the respiratory droplets during prolonged close contact with an infected person. According to State Epidemiologist Dr. Paul Byers, “While anyone can get Monkeypox, many of the cases identified in the outbreak in the US and globally have been among men who have sex with men.”
Monkeypox is a rare disease caused by infection with the Monkeypox virus.
Symptoms may start out as a fever, swollen lymph nodes, headache, and muscle aches, followed by a rash that starts out as flat and then advances to pimples, or blisters and ulcers on the face, body and private parts (sexual organs). The rash can be itchy and painful. It can be confused with sexually transmitted infections such as syphilis and herpes, or with chickenpox.
The illness typically lasts two to four weeks. Sometimes, people get a rash first, followed by other symptoms. Others only experience a rash.
The Mississippi State Department of Health has received limited doses of vaccine that will be used to treat MSDH identified individuals exposed to a case of Monkeypox.
Medical providers are encouraged to consider Monkeypox infection and to notify MSDH when evaluating patients with a rash, especially if there are known risk factors.

Monkeys should file suit for defamation. They didn't invent this crap.
This is spread by monkeying around-
I’m not worried. I’ve got Blue Cross.
I predict that sometime in October of this year the Monkey Pox variant named Gorilla Glue 1.5 will be rampant nationwide and require 100% mail in ballots for voting in the November elections. The new vaccines will be declared "safe and effective". All will be required to wear and pretend masks prevent the spread. Gay men will file a class action defamation lawsuit for being accused of ramping up the virus during Gay Pride Month celebrations.
When did this disease first get invented/designed? Did it come from one particular country and can they find the very source of it? You can’t assume it came from Africa because Asia has monkeys also.
Well the midterm elections are coming up
Are they Chinese/Chicom monkeys? If so the AG should file a lawsuit and Chowke should send all of Jackson's extra gloves to China, again.
@7:33, you have the lead on post of the day with the huge bonus points for Gorilla Glue. Don't look back, they may be gaining.
Wonder who the expert lead on this one will be.

Monkey Pox cousin of Small Pox, millennia old. Ghana pouch rats spread to prairie dogs and monkeys and people. 1st person infected by lab rats in 1958 in Denmark lab, but primarily rats and monkeys in Ghana, historically.
Now primarily hmsxls among humans, especially promiscuous ones, because their risky unnatural acts can be bloody and have dire consequences, as Bible warned.
Not much to be "proud" of is it?
Brought to you by open borders Biden and Co.
Close the borders 100% to all until this ship is righted and stabilized.
