2 monkeypox strains in US suggest possible undetected spread
2022-06-04
[Instapundit] "Genetic analysis of recent monkeypox cases suggests there are two distinct strains in the United States, and officials are considering the possibility the virus has been circulating undetected for some time."

Two thoughts: (1) If it’s circulating undetected, as Covid did, does that suggest it’s less serious than originally thought, as Covid turned out to be? And (2) Having squandered public trust, the public health people are likely to be ignored.
Yes on both

As Dr. Frank G pointed out the other day, this may only apply to the achimptomatic variant.
