Mpox vaccine advised only for Thai high-risk groups
The latest mpox clade doesn't appear to be playing out that way in Africa... Right now, children are bearing the brunt of it there. Why is mpox being transmitted mainly between children? In the absence of details on how the new variant behaves, experts believe that the biggest difference is not in the virus itself, but in the environment AUG 21, 2024 "One of the big differences between the mpox outbreak spreading across Africa and the 2022 outbreak in Europe is how it is being transmitted. While transmission two years ago was confined almost exclusively to sexual intercourse, now the victims are mainly children, who account for 70% of cases. It seems that something has changed in the way in which this new variant (Clade 1b) is transmitted, and the extent to which this has changed is still to be clarified. But perhaps it is not changes in the virus we should be looking at so much as changes in the environment. ... What is not in doubt is that transmission is behaving differently. But this should not be surprising either, according to Aginagalde: “Poxviruses (such as smallpox, and now mpox) have always spread more among children than adults, and more among women than men, because it is usually women who take care of children. This is not new, and it has already happened with mpox in Africa,” he says. ... In principle, the transmission route is still considered to be direct and continuous contact. That clearly exists in the case of sexual relations, but it also happens when touching the secretions of an infected person, touching their clothing or even talking in close proximity for a period of time, with the potential for saliva droplets to be exchanged. These are the possible transmission routes cited by the World Health Organization (WHO). The more contact and the longer the contact, the greater the likelihood of transmission."

The country accounts for nearly all of this year’s recorded cases and more than 450 deaths. ... Some 75% of the cases being seen by medics there are under the age of 10, according to Dr Pierre-Olivier Ngadjole who works for the charity Medair. Young people seem to be particularly badly affected by the mpox outbreak because of their less developed immune systems." (more) https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cdjwz77mmgmo -

Naohiro - I can be flexible on price, please make me an offer. Obviously with the DTV visa being introduced, the elite is now worth a bit less, but they haven't adjusted the prices. -

Using an overseas Debit Card to minimise paying tax for those of us staying over 180 days
What are you talking about, scaremongering! If income is assessible it is taxable, giving away your income doesn't negate tax, where is it said that you can do that? If that were the case, everyone would earn income and immediately give it to somebody and nobody would ever pay tax! Show me where it is said that there is a tax benefit to the gifter by gifting income, any source will do. -

The hypocrisy of the dems
Funnily enough that's exactly the lead which Hilary had with women when she lost to Trump. That's still an awful lot of white women voting for the sexual predator. Odd isn't it?- 1
