Manage episode 434618849 series 1470444
In today’s episode of Real Physician Reacts, we’re diving into the recent resurgence of Monkeypox, specifically the first reported case of the new strain in Sweden. This development has prompted the World Health Organization (W.H.O.) to declare a global health emergency. I’m Dr. Berry Pierre, and we’ll explore why this disease is back in the spotlight, what makes this new strain more concerning, and what you need to know to stay informed.
Episode Summary:
This episode highlights the re-emergence of Monkeypox, focusing on the recent case in Sweden. The new strain, known as clade 1, is more transmissible and lethal than previous versions. With a higher fatality rate and the ability to spread more easily, this strain has raised significant concerns on a global scale. We discuss the importance of staying informed about these developments, particularly as the world continues to grapple with various health challenges.
Key Takeaways:
- Monkeypox in Sweden: The first reported case of the clade 1 strain outside of Africa marks a significant global health concern.
- Clade 1 Strain: This strain is more dangerous due to its higher transmission rate and increased fatality.
- Global Vigilance: Staying informed about these developments is essential to understanding the potential risks and impacts.
Quotes:
"When W.H.O. declares this emergency, you best believe that we need to kind of keep an eye because, you know, remember where this is? Summertime, right? Where everyone's outside, everyone's traveling, everyone's doing them, and the world is a lot smaller than we may think." – Dr. Berry Pierre
"This strain that we're talking about now, clade 1, is more transmissible, which means more cases can be spread because of the disease. And it’s also more virulent, meaning the fatality rate is higher." – Dr. Berry Pierre
"We just need to say all right, especially if you're in the United States, we just have to think like, okay, we just need to keep an eye on this. We should keep an eye on this." – Dr. Berry Pierre
