Over 535 Cases Of Mpox Clade 1b In The US This Year — With A New Cluster Of 5 — In Wisconsin…

Do recall that a carefully reviewed study we mentioned about ten days ago points to the inference that something like 32 of each 33 cases in the US remain “hidden” — that is, undiagnosed as the sufferer does not seek treatment. And each of those may well infect… others.

In any event, here is the latest — from the Wisconsin public health authorities:

…The Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) confirmed five mpox cases in the state this year, with a cluster identified in southeastern Wisconsin and cases in northern Wisconsin.

Although mpox has been circulating at low levels since 2022, DHS says current surveillance data show an uptick of infections nationwide in recent weeks. As of May 3, 535 cases have been confirmed across the United States….

Now you know. We’re headed to the Math Academy, and then park-play — with the grand-nieces tonight… may grill some lemon infused brats, for them as well (their favorite!)… then we’ll walk to get some Cold-Stone ice cream blends, after all that, at around sunset… smile. Almost-end of school year fun.
