The monkeypox epidemic in Europe and the United States has triggered changes in the epidemic prevention strategies of some European countries. Up to now, a total of 12 countries including the United States, the United Kingdom, Belgium and other countries have reported monkeypox epidemics, and the total number of confirmed monkeypox cases Compared with the new coronavirus, the monkeypox epidemic can be said to be insignificant, but European and American countries are facing great enemies. After the United States ordered millions of doses of monkeypox vaccine, Belgium released the first monkeypox vaccine. Pox-infected quarantine orders require confirmed cases of monkeypox to self-isolate for 21 days.
Under normal circumstances, for highly infectious pathogens, an isolation strategy will be implemented to reduce infection and cut off the chain of infection. This is a normal operation, but compared with Western anti-new crown strategies and anti-monkeypox The strategy is like two different worlds. When the epidemic has not yet spread widely, some countries do not hesitate to spend huge sums of money to book vaccines, while other countries quickly introduce corresponding prevention and control strategies, suggesting that infected people should be treated more than new crown patients. It’s really puzzling to be quarantined for a long time.
As we all know, past experience shows that monkeypox virus is not so contagious that it can be infected by blowing air. The fluid that flows out is even infected by close contact, and the current epidemic prevention actions in the West make people feel even harder than dealing with the new crown. This approach is unusual. As for the real purpose, we need to continue to observe.
