The Daily Mail had this vague headline: "Most dangerous strain of mpox detected for the first time in major West Coast city." I saw it and immediately thought, "it has to be San Francisco." And I was correct:
San Francisco has become the latest US city to confirm a case of the more dangerous strain of mpox, following a quiet yet concerning upward trend in the US over the past two years.
The patient is an unvaccinated adult who was hospitalized but is now improving, city health officials said. The person had close contact with someone who traveled internationally.
It marks the first Clade I case in San Francisco, but it is not an isolated event. Other cities in California, New York City and other jurisdictions have now reported the strain, including several cases with no history of travel, indicating it is no longer solely an imported problem.
So "close contact" is now what they call buggery?
