Monkeypox Viral Disease
Monkeypox virus is an Orthopoxvirus, a genus of the family Poxviridae that contains other viral species that target mammals. The virus is found mainly in tropical rainforest regions of central and West Africa.
The virus was first discovered in monkeys (hence the name) in 1958, and in humans in 1970. Between 1970 and 1986, over 400 cases in humans were reported. Small viral outbreaks with a death rate in the range of 10% and a secondary human to human infection rate of about the same amount occur routinely in equatorial Central and West Africa.
The primary route of infection is thought to be contact with the infected animals or their bodily fluids.
The virus can spread both from animal to human and from human to human. Infection from animal to human can occur via an animal bite or by direct contact with an infected animal’s bodily fluids. The virus can spread from human to human by both respiratory (airborne) contact and contact with infected person's bodily fluids.
Risk factors for transmission include sharing a bed, room, or using the same utensils as an infected patient. Increased transmission risk associated with factors involving introduction of virus to the oral mucosa.
Incubation period is 10–14 days. Prodromal symptoms include swelling of lymph nodes, muscle pain, headache, fever, prior to the emergence of the rash.The rash is usually only present on the trunk but has the capacity to spread to the palms and soles of the feet, occurring in a centrifugal distribution. The initial macular lesions exhibit a papular, then vesicular and pustular appearance.
Symptoms and course
In humans, monkeypox is similar to smallpox, although it is often milder. Vaccination against smallpox is assumed to provide protection against human monkeypox infection considering they are closely related viruses and the vaccine protects animals from experimental lethal monkeypox challenge. This has not been conclusively demonstrated in humans because routine smallpox vaccination was discontinued following the apparent eradication of smallpox and due to safety concerns with the vaccine. Limited person-to-person spread of infection has been reported in disease-endemic areas in Africa. Case-fatality ratios in Africa have ranged from 1% to 10%.
Prevention and treatment Currently, there is no proven, safe treatment for monkeypox. Smallpox vaccine has been reported to reduce the risk of monkeypox among previously vaccinated persons in Africa. The decrease in immunity to poxviruses in exposed populations is a factor in the prevalence of monkeypox. It is attributed both to waning cross-protective immunity among those vaccinated before 1980 when mass smallpox vaccinations were discontinued, and to the gradually increasing proportion of unvaccinated individuals.
The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends that persons investigating monkeypox outbreaks and involved in caring for infected individuals or animals should receive a smallpox vaccination to protect against monkeypox. Persons who have had close or intimate contact with individuals or animals confirmed to have monkeypox should also be vaccinated. The people who have been infected can be vaccinated up to 14 days after exposure.

Check ABC transport website for the price, you can do the same for other transport coys. You dont need a passport to go to ghana, but because of our corrupt system - They will charge you extra N5k for not having a passport (dont know if it has increased.). Abc transport and the young transport does. Dont know about others.
My last visit to ghana (Nov 2016) non of my debit card worked (gtb, diamond), so always have enough ghana cedis with you. Dont know if our debit card works there now. |

lonewolff: how does one know a genuine offer for replacement, i have little or no know about of the process, a friend of mine was asked to give 150k for a slot, which he says was from someone working in interior abj. he says the man is a close family frend of ders, but when it comes to issues about money you never can tell. pls advise... from anyone who knows how that type of deals work ( i biliv there are ppl who have paid money to get into the system) pls correct if am wrong ...and am open to sincere advice If you are  asked to pay an amount for a slot by a close family friend  . My advice would be - - have in mind its a gamble. - ask for part payment (a % paid b4 & after if successful) - if they demand for full payment only, make them agree on a refund if it fails. Remember its CORRUPTION and a gamble, so how much you are willing to risk + patient is up to you. Thats what i think I know. (Might be wrong) |

Yooku: Bro, do as many certs as you can now. And above all learn the technology, don't just gather certs like a veteran soldier but actually be able to prove your skills...Better to land armed and ready to hit the ground running than adding learning for exams to the survival hustle. The cert is just to get your foot in the door and hopefully not to be bypassed by some mean ATS somewhere so you can show your reall value and pull out your medals like a 5-star general.  Thanks bro |

OrdercityWeb: GBAAAM !!! LOVE IS conditional.
You made very good points. But i have a problem with the bolded. . Please "true love" doesn't exist, at least not anymore. If there has to be a condition like you have above for you to have "true love" then it's not "true" .. No woman at least in this century will ever love you for just who you're. They must "love" you for something you have. That's the sad reality. .. People should stop abusing that word "love". "True love" doesn't exist, if he misses this opportunity, she will leave him and he will regret it for the rest of his life. People should learn to be realistic, all this "lovey-dovey" is utopian and only exist in movies. |
