AM I AT RISK?

Monkeypox infects thousands of people every year and can lead to death in up to one tenth of cases[2]. In a global society, the risk of international spread is a huge concern and yet there is still a lack of awareness surrounding the nature of the disease and its risk of transmission.

According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), transmission can occur in the following ways:

Contact with an infected animal or human, or contaminated material that enables the virus to enter the body through broken skin, the respiratory tract or the mucous membranes.

Direct or indirect contact with live or dead animals – via a bite or a scratch and the preparation of bush meat. Eating poorly cooked meat of an infected animal is also a risk. The virus can also be transmitted through direct contact with body fluids or lesions from an infected animal and indirect contact with contaminated material.

Human-to-human transmission is rare but is reported to occur during direct and prolonged face-to-face contact via large respiratory droplets. It can also be transmitted through direct contact with body fluids of an infected person or with contaminated objects, such as bedding or clothing.

Can MAGA Insurrectionists Launch Attacks Against the Supreme Court Over its Rulings? Exploring the Limits of Political Influence on Judicial Decisions. In the wake of contentious legal battles and polarizing decisions, the question arises: Can the "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) movement launch attacks against the Supreme Court over its rulings?
