Newshub, said, Monkeypox, a relative of smallpox and chickenpox, commonly occurs in small outbreaks. And, it is less dangerous than Covid-19 although it has a higher fatality rate. "Monkeypox can be serious but generally speaking, the outbreaks that occur involve a few hundred people and they fizzle out because the virus isn't transmitted that readily from one person to another," Krause said, adding, that it has a fatality rate of around 1 percent. "It looks like the cases are the west African strain, so that would be in the lower group, but it's so much different from coronavirus in that it's so much less transmissable and once you get to the pox stage, it's quite apparent," Krause said and also confirmed, "The COVID-19 fatality rate is about a third to half of a percent depending on which strain.

Omicron is a little bit less than that, Delta was about that rate." Krause said the big difference between the two viruses is that monkeypox is "dramatically less contagious" than COVID-19.

If you have contact with somebody who's got pox lesions or contact with the material they have contaminated or respiratory secretions, that is how you get it.

Meanwhile, COVID is transmitted by aerosol, the expert pointed out. In case, someone catches monkeypox, they would need to isolate, let it scab over and dry out.

Late spring storm keeping some Jersey shore beaches closed for Memorial Day

NORTH WILDWOOD, N.J. - Erosion from a late spring storm will keep some beaches at the Jersey Shore from being ready for visitors on Memorial Day weekend, but overall, the shore came through the winter in good shape.Scientists and local officials at some shore towns say a storm earlier this month caused erosion that won't be able to be repaired in time for Memorial Day weekend crowds, but note that the vast majority of Jersey Shore beaches will be ready for holiday crowds.Shore towns including North Wildwood and Toms River are among spots where at least some of the beaches will not be open in time for the unofficial start of the summer tourism season."Overall the state's beaches are in good condition," said Jon Miller, an expert on coastal engineering at Stevens Institute of Technology. "There were some areas where we knew we would need some more sand."The worst culprit was the so-called "Mother's Day storm" in early May in which the storm lasted for numerous high tide cycles and ate away chunks of beaches on many shore towns.

Waterloo Region’s COVID-19 state of emergency to end Friday: Redman

Karen Redman has announced that Waterloo Region’s COVID-19 state of emergency will finally be declared over on Friday.On Twitter, she said, “With COVID-19 indicators trending in the right direction, I will be rescinding the State of Emergency on Friday, May 27, 2022.” COVID-19: No end in sight for Waterloo Region’s state of emergency Redman noted that the state of emergency was initially declared on March 25, 2020, in response to the global outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.“Over the last two years, our community has come together to fight COVID-19, making many personal sacrifices and stepping up to get vaccinated,” Redman wrote, noting that Waterloo Public Health would continue to provide guidance in the ongoing fight against the virus.Back in March, most of the municipalities that make up the region as well as Guelph and Brantford all declared an end to their state of emergencies but Redman and Waterloo Region CAO Bruce Lauckner said it was too soon for the region to follow suit.Lauckner noted that it allowed them to be more flexible with staffing in local shelters and hospitals as many were still dealing with the virus while others had worked extra hours to assist.“I prefer to err on the side of caution and allow for some recovery time, allow for some people to recoup. And that may require us to still shift resources to give that time off,” he said in March.
