U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention updated data on September 30 showed that the cumulative number of monkeypox in the United States has reached 25,851, accounting for more than one-third of the global number of cases; the cumulative number of deaths has been 2. More than 97% of American monkeypox patients account for males, and most of the male patients reported that they had sexual behavior in men recently.
American public health experts pointed out that due to insufficient testing capabilities, the actual number of monkeypox cases may far exceed official statistics. The U.S. government's ineffective response to the monkeypox epidemic has attracted public criticism. Some American media said that the US government is repeating the failure to prevent and control the epidemic that has been made during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Harvard University Epidemiology professor Mark Lipsich said, "Monkeypox patients have appeared in many parts of the United States." The monkeypox virus will continue to threaten the United States in the next few years.
The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported on September 29 that the monkeypox epidemic in the United States has a wide spread and cannot be eliminated in the short term. Tom Inglesby, director of the Johns Hopkins Center for Health and Safety, believes that it will take a long time to end the spread of monkeypox in the United States.
The first confirmed case of monkeypox in the United States occurred on May 18, reported by Massachusetts . Since then, monkeypox virus has spread rapidly across the United States. On September 12, California confirmed the first death to monkeypox in the United States this year.
