The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has
identified nine cases of monkeypox across seven states as of
Wednesday, agency Director Dr. Rochelle Walensky said Thursday.
The nine cases have been identified in Massachusetts, Florida,
Utah, Washington, California, Virginia, and New York, per CNN.
Most cases — except for the one in Virginia — "are within gay
[and] bisexual men and other men who have sex with men,"
Walensky said before imploring Americans to approach the virus
"guided by science, not by stigma."
"While some groups may have a greater chance of exposure right
now, infectious diseases do not care about state or
international borders. They're not contained within social
networks, and the risk of exposure is not limited to any one
particular group," Walensky said.
Samples from the nine cases were sent to the CDC for further
testing and investigation, Walensky added. Officials expect more
cases to crop up in the U.S.
Monkeypox is a more benign version of smallpox that can cause
fever, body aches, and, eventually, those characteristic fluid-
filled blisters known as "pox." The smallpox vaccine is thought
to be decently effective against the disease.
