New Viral Threat of Monkeypox

Just when you thought things were settling down from the Covid-19 aftermath, we now are faced with the possibility of Monkeypox. All business types have been affected by Covid in many ways especially when it comes to the work force.  The country suffered a major employment shortage that then resulted in offering higher salaries and sign on bonus just so you could keep your doors open.  Presently, June 2022, we are or have adjusted to the increase in our payroll, stabilized our sales and or services and it was just announced that a new highly infectious viral disease may threaten us again. 

Monkeypox is a viral disease that is normally found in central and western Africa. It is called monkeypox because it was first discovered in laboratory monkeys. According to Wikipedia, an ongoing outbreak of monkeypox was confirmed in May 2022, beginning with a cluster of cases found in the United Kingdom. The first recognized case was confirmed on 6 May 2022 in an individual with travel links to Nigeria, but it has been suggested that cases were already spreading in Europe in the previous months. There are now 21 confirmed monkeypox cases in the United States. Hopefully this will not become widespread here. The impact of another widespread virus could be devastating to your business as well as our country.
