Newest MPOX aerosol study: Contagious Monkeypox found in air up to 15 ft away from patient and as high 6ft in the air. #MonkeyPoxIsAirborneToo #MaskUp 😷✅👍 Healthcare Agencies protect your staff.Tell them it’s airborne. Don’t make the same mistake done w/Covid. #COVIDisAirborne
Yesterday, the @WHO claimed:

\u201cFACT: The #monkeypox virus is NOT airborne\u201d
Let\u2019s now see what this scientific study shows us.https://t.co/5elzET88tL
This is evidence that the monkeypox virus is airborne.

Thread🧵on modes of pathogen transmission. #monkeypox
Transmission is messy, and there is no single mode that pathogens employ to invade a body. Indeed, modes can change.
Plague provides a great example of this: it occurs in multiple forms, depending on transmission route. 1/13
All are caused by the bacterium Yersenia pestis
Bubonic plague occurs when infected fleas bite a person, or the bacteria enter through a break in the skin. Infection causes characteristic "buboes"
Preventative strategy would be flea and rat control. 2/13 https://t.co/xR5gdRuK53
Plague can become more widespread via the bloodstream, causing septicemic plague. This leads to black areas of necrosis in the body, hence the term, "Black Death."
As long as it doesn't get to the lungs, prevention is the same as previous - flea and rodent control. 3/13
However if the bacteria set up infection in the lungs, they can now exit the body via respiratory aerosols
This is now pneumonic plague, a highly contagious form of the disease, transmissible by air, with an incubation period of only 1-3 days & 100% fatal without treatment. 4/13
The infection control measures of flea and rodent control are ineffective against pneumonic plague -- isolation and treatment of cases, airborne precautions, and prophylactic treatment and monitoring of exposed individuals are needed. 5/13
