There are currently six Americans being monitored by the CDC for monkeypox.
The symptoms include fever and rash, muscle aches, and chills.
Worldwide, it is deadly in 3% to 6% of cases, though the death rate is less than 1% in areas with quality healthcare.The virus is endemic in Central and West Africa and is rarely seen outside of the continent. Usually, the cases are related to travel, but many of the recent cases in Europe in North America are in people without recent travel, meaning the virus is spreading locally."It's primarily spread by very close contact," epidemiologist Dr. Jay Varma said."It can be spread through the air, but unlike COVID, which can spread over a long range and hang around in the air for a long time, we don't believe that is true with this virus.
