CHICAGO — The United States declared monkeypox a public health emergency last week, an effort to bolster the U.S. response to contain the outbreak.
The virus continues to be largely transmitted among gay and bisexual men, but experts say the disease could spill over into other populations, especially due to vaccine shortages. Monkeypox is spread by contact with puss-filled sores and is rarely fatal.
About 38% of cases occurred in among white, non-Hispanic males. Another 26% were in Black males and 32% in Hispanic males. “We certainly know it’s going to spread to family members and to other non-male partners that people have,” said Dr. Jay Varma, director of the Cornell Center for Pandemic Prevention and Response. He said the virus could also spread through massage parlors or spas.
