New York City officials are investigating a potential case of monkeypox after Massachusetts confirmed one case on Wednesday, the first recorded in the U.S. this year. A patient at Manhattan’s Bellevue Hospital is being tested for the disease, according to the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene.

Monkeypox, which is in the same family as smallpox, is a rare but potentially serious disease. Symptoms typically mirror those of the flu, and can include swollen lymph nodes and a rash throughout the body. If the patient tests positive, the result will be sent to the CDC for confirmation and city epidemiologists will contact individuals who may have come in contact with them during their infectious period. Health Commissioner Dr. Ashwin Vasan said in a statement that the patient is following all isolation protocols during the investigation. Dr. Celine Gounder, an epidemiologist, told Gothamist that “with this current outbreak, it does seem to also be spreading more easily than what has been our prior experience” but that New Yorkers do not need to be excessively worried.

  1. Dr. Ashwin Vasan is 100% correct. We must shut down all Shuls and Yeshivos immediately. Vinishmartem is the greatest mitzvah in the history of Kllal Yisroel.

  2. How interesting. November of last year, Bill Gates warned us of another epidemic: smallpox. Coincidental? I doubt it. This was leaked intentionally. It’s another ploy to scare sheeple to get a vaccine. More money for Big Pharma.

  3. This May we have so far:
    London UK – 20 confirmed cases.
    Portugal -23 confirmed cases.
    Spain – 30 confirmed cases
    Massachusetts US – 1
    Quebec Canada – 2
    Australia – 2
    Italy – 3
    Germany – 1
    France – 1
    So random? Is Bill Gates really behind this?
