The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raised its monkeypox alert level on Monday and recommended travelers wear masks while cautioning that it was not on the same level of concern as COVID-19.
Monkeypox presents as flu-like symptoms before patients develop a painful rash and lesions and swolen lymph nodes.
The incubation period between exposure and when symptoms first appear can be anywhere from five to 21 days, according to the World Health Organization.
The CDC said cases have been reported on every continent aside from Antartica.
“Some cases were reported among men who have sex with men. Some cases were also reported in people who live in the same household as an infected person,” the CDC said. Experts said a number of sexual transmitted infections present similar symptoms and the real number of infections could be higher.
The agency reported 31 confirmed cases in the U.S. as of Monday afternoon. The first reported cases in Washington, D.C., came on Sunday.

The cdc recommends wearing a mask if you breath. Just ignor them.
I recommend the CDC take a long walk, off a tall cliff!
You know it. And Fauci probably says to wear two.
Hey CDC: iiIii !
Unlike Covid, which aerisolizes masks actually would work against something like monkeypox since it is spread through respiratory droplets and body fluids which are of course much larger…
THE QUESTION IS… How does a disease which has been largely unheard of for over 50 years suddenly make a comeback and oh of course just as the supreme court gets ready to decide whether or not to uphold a Florida judges ruling banning mask mandates on airplanes etc… And then on cue the CDC says travelers should wear them for monkeypox… If you believe this is about public health I have a bridge to sell you. Give me a break!
So on goes the great conspiracy to allow the masked criminals, street criminal and political criminals, to blend into the general populace and continue their mayhem and crimes, led by the Democrat party of criminal intent, now reflected in their crimminal actions.
WITH the sheer rise in how much crime we did get, part of mE DOES Wonder, was the whole ‘mask up’ balloney, done JUST TO ALLOW FOR THAT CRIME WAVE to occur?
Maybe they should be wearing one or two masks on their private junk, or keep their JUNK in their shorts.
