How to Live Great CEO Within Artificial Intelligence: A Modern Approach Molecular Biology of the Cell Ray Kurzweil News Corner Confronting 21st-century monkeypox (science.org) More than 12,556 monkeypox cases and three deaths have been reported in 68 countries since early May, and will continue to rise. According to a recent Science magazine editorial, Epidemiologic investigations indicate that the predominant mode of transmission is through skin-to-skin and sexual contact, not contact with contaminated clothing or bed linens. Although respiratory droplet transmission might occur, there is no evidence of airborne transmission as there is with COVID-19. Symptoms usually start within three weeks of exposure to the monkeypox virus with symptoms lasting 2 to 4 weeks.
