WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS?

WHAT ARE THE SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS?

Most people infected with monkeypox will recover within several weeks although some cases are more severe than others. The time between the exposure to monkeypox and first signs of symptoms can range between 5 to 21 days. The symptoms of this virus are split into two phases:

Invasion phase (0-5 days)

  • Fever
  • Intense headaches
  • Swollen lymph nodes
  • Back pain
  • Muscle ache (Myalgia)
  • Intense lack of energy

Skin eruption phase (10 days – 3 weeks)

1-3 days after the fever, various stages of rash appear. This often begins on the face and then spreads elsewhere on the body.

The rash can evolve from lesions with flat bases to small fluid-filled blisters and pustules. Crusts will occur approximately 10 days after fever and can take three weeks to completely disappear.

Kamala Harris Is Far From An Enigma

Kamala Harris Is Far From An Enigma By Ben Emos and Tony Bruce | Wednesday, September  25 , 2024 | 7 min read Recently, critics have argued that Vice President Kamala Harris hasn’t fully fleshed out her policies, raising concerns about the clarity of her agenda. Interestingly, this critique mirrors rhetoric often used by former President Donald Trump, who is known for diverting attention from more controversial issues. In this case, it could be seen as a way to shift the spotlight away from growing unease around the GOP’s Project 2025 and the more symbolic “eating of cats and dogs” controversy in Springfield, Ohio. Project 2025, the Republican-backed policy framework, has stirred concern due to its extreme deregulation measures and rollbacks on protections for vulnerable communities. Critics of the plan argue that it represents a significant threat to public health, environmental safety, and economic equality. The “eating of cats and dogs” metaphor, while not literal, encapsulates ...

The Truth Behind Trump’s Tale of a Harrowing Helicopter Ride and Emergency Landing That Never Happened

The Truth Behind Trump’s Tale of a Harrowing Helicopter Ride and Emergency Landing That Never Happened. By Mary Jones and Ben Emos | Thursday, August  15 , 2024 | 6 min read During Donald Trump’s political campaigns, particularly in 2016 and 2020, he often  employed personal attacks and misinformation to undermine his opponents. In 2016, Trump targeted Hillary Clinton by focusing on her husband’s extramarital affairs, hoping to tarnish her public image. By 2020, his strategy shifted to Hunter Biden’s business ventures, with Trump attempting to discredit Joe Biden by associating him with his son’s dealings. In both cases, the goal was clear: damage the opponent’s reputation through a blend of accusations, half-truths, and outright falsehoods. In yet another one of his colorful anecdotes, former President Donald Trump claimed he experienced an emergency helicopter landing alongside former San Francisco Mayor Willie Brown. Trump described the situation as a tense moment, suggesti...

Donald Trump Sentenced in Hush Money Trial Involving Porn Star Stormy Daniels. By Don Terry | Tuesday, January 14, 2025 | 2 min read In a landmark case that has captivated the nation, former President Donald Trump has been sentenced after being convicted on 34 felony counts of falsifying business records. The charges stemmed from a hush money payment made to adult film star Stormy Daniels during the 2016 presidential campaign. Despite the guilty verdict, the court handed down an unconditional discharge, meaning Trump will face no further penalties, including imprisonment or community service.

Prosecutors argued that the payment was fraudulently recorded in business ledgers, violating state law. The jury ultimately sided with the prosecution, but the sentencing judge issued a rare and controversial ruling, granting unconditional discharge. Legal analysts have n...
