I am so tired of living in unprecedented historical times. Every day before I read the news I am struck with profound inner turmoil. “Will today be the day the U.S. is devoured by locusts?” I wonder. Well, luckily (or unluckily) that’s not real, but in other news, a rare disease called monkeypox has arrived in the U.S. What fresh hell is this, you ask? Before you freak out, here’s everything you need to know about monkeypox cases in the U.S. and Europe.
First of all, only one case of monkeypox has actually been confirmed in the U.S. Massachusetts health officials announced on Wednesday that a man who had recently traveled to Canada was diagnosed with the virus. He is reportedly in stable condition and has been in an airborne infection isolation room since last Thursday, according to CNN.
