Front page Los Angeles Times KP.3.1.1. is not a FLiRT variant latimes.com/california/sto… Ron Lin (That's the problem. No R346T mutation. Instead there’s the Q493E mutation in KP.3 and, added to that, the S31 deletion in KP.3.1.1.)

With #mpox, we're just at the beginning of the problem, not anywhere close to the middle or the end.

I worry that one day we could wake up and have everyone look at the U.S. and say, "If you thought that they had a poor response in Wuhan with COVID, look at what you guys did with H5N1." And they would be right.

If you know the lady who fainted on Egypt air MS 778 from London yesterday, row 43, I was the first responder, I did not leave her till she was fully conscious& well-i gave her a business card cause I want her doctor to call me, i need to give them some details which may help.
