  Announced yesterday. (Reuters, July 22, 2022)

  People forget viruses don’t discriminate.

  Health officials have confirmed the first two U.S. cases of monkeypox in children, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Friday. 

  Both cases are "likely the result of household transmission" and "had no contact with each other," the agency said in a statement. 

  One is a toddler who lives in California and the other is in an infant who is not a resident of the U.S. and was "transiting through" the Washington, D.C. area when the test was done.

  Note: there were many great comments on this thread. Since the news report provided limited details I decided to dig deeper into the transmission of this virus. From the CDC webpage below (and confirming what some folks posted).

  Monkeypox spreads in different ways. The virus can spread from person-to-person through:

  direct contact with the infectious rash, scabs, or body fluids

  respiratory secretions during prolonged, face-to-face contact, or during intimate physical contact, such as kissing, cuddling, or sex

  touching items (such as clothing or linens) that previously touched the infectious rash or body fluids

  pregnant people can spread the virus to their fetus through the placenta

  It’s also possible for people to get monkeypox from infected animals, either by being scratched or bitten by the animal or by preparing or eating meat or using products from an infected animal.

  Monkeypox can spread from the time symptoms start until the rash has fully healed and a fresh layer of skin has formed.

  The illness typically lasts 2-4 weeks. People who do not have monkeypox symptoms cannot spread the virus to others. At this time, it is not known if monkeypox can spread through semen or vaginal fluids.

  AIDS started out this way too and virulent stigmatization forced people to conceal their illnesses out of fear of being stigmatized as gay, especially when it inevitably spread outside the gay community. We should all recognize that just because there’s a primary demographic now who need to be on high alert today, doesn’t mean we won’t be on high alert months or a year from now
