Of course it follows Pride Month, from the news, the most common form of transmission is from close sexual contact between men. Once they have it secondary transmission is from contact with those infected.

Here is an interesting link that show a global map and data regarding the spread of monkeypox (https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/response/2022/world-map.html).

Here is another map regarding its present spread in the US map showing incidence by state (https://www.insider.com/monkeypox-us-map-shows-how-quickly-outbreak-spread-2022-7).

Finally, here is a map of California showing the density of cases of monkeypox by county. (https://www.kcra.com/article/map-of-california-monkeypox-cases-by-county-questions-about-monkeypox/40757929).

This from the:

- University of Minnesota (https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/news-perspective/2022/06/major-us-cities-report-new-monkeypox-cases).
- California Department of Public Health as of 28 July 2022 (https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/monkeypox.aspx)
- New York State Department of Public Health as of 27 July 2022 (https://health.ny.gov/diseases/communicable/zoonoses/monkeypox/docs/demographic_data.pdf)

Facts are a tool that are very interesting to use when provided so they speak for themselves. When we are speaking about "...all enemies both foreign and domestic..." behaviors of individuals are part of the mix in light of language like "...provide for the common defense..." in order to "...provide for the general welfare..." of "We the people...". It is often interesting to me how people do not understand the real meaning of these words in the context of every political and health decision that is made that should be honestly made for the "greater good."

Public Health is a lot like HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control Point) best practices regarding food and agriculture. HACCP was created for the Manned Space Program (MSP) in the early 1960s. Its principles speak to various issues of food and agricultural safety in both broad and specific strokes. Here is HACCP defined in a nutshell:

"...Preventing problems from occurring is the paramount goal underlying any HACCP system. Seven basic principles are employed in the development of HACCP plans that meet the stated goal. These principles include: (1) hazard analysis, (2) CCP identification, (3) establishing critical limits, (4) monitoring procedures, (5) corrective actions, (6) verification procedures, and (7) record-keeping and documentation. Under such systems, if a deviation occurs indicating that control has been lost, the deviation is detected, and appropriate steps are taken to re-establish control in a timely manner to assure that potentially hazardous products do not reach the consumer..."

This speaks directly to the language "...provide for the common defense...". When all seven at all levels are done well, they "...provide for OUR common defense...".

If US Public Health and others responsible for various health and safety issues, in the case of monkeypox or any future disease, is to turn the corner and have success then they must seek to educate the general public more HONESTLY on how such principles apply across a wide spectrum of public health and safety threats from bottom to top and back again.

Study HACCP for yourself and ask yourself how these 7 Principles apply to everything from the Border to Backyard when you really think about it.
