The United States reports more than 28,000 cases of monkeypox, 6 new deaths in one week
Overseas Network, October 25th. According to Fox News, updated data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Oct.24 showed that a total of 28,004 cases of monkeypox have been reported in the United States, and the number of cases still ranks first in the U.S. world. In the past week, there have been six new monkeypox deaths in the United States, the report said.
The deaths mentioned above were from 4 states, including 2 in Illinois, 2 in New York, 1 in Nevada and 1 in Maryland, and many of the deceased suffered from underlying illnesses before they died.
In response, the Deputy Secretary of the Maryland Department of Public Health Services warned that monkeypox is still around and could cause serious illness and death. For people with weakened immune systems or at high risk of infection, the best way to prevent monkeypox is to get vaccinated.
On May 18, the Massachusetts Department of Public Health reported the first confirmed case of monkeypox in the United States this year. Since then, the monkeypox virus has spread rapidly in the United States. The New York Times ran an article on Sept. 29 that the outbreak of the new crown and monkeypox both exposed serious flaws in the US government’s outbreak control system. In the face of new infectious diseases in the future, the chaotic response of the US government will be inevitable. (Liu Qiang of the overseas network)
