Mangaluru: Special monitoring for monkey fever in Dakshina Kannada


Daijiworld Media Network – Mangaluru (MS)

Mangaluru, Sep 19: The health department has decided to enforce strict monitoring in Dakshina Kannada (DK) district following concerns about monkey fever, particularly after Nipah virus-related deaths in Kerala.

Monkey fever, common in African countries, has raised concerns locally. Passengers arriving in the city from international airports and ports will undergo medical testing, and a dedicated ambulance is on standby for emergencies. A special ward has also been reserved at Wenlock Hospital for the treatment of monkey fever cases.

Dr Timmaiah, district health officer of Dakshina Kannada, said, "Currently, there are no reported cases of monkey fever in the district, and no specific instructions have been received from the state government. However, passengers arriving at the city’s international airport and ports are being screened continuously. Six beds are reserved at Wenlock Hospital as a precaution. We will soon hold a special meeting to discuss further measures."

He added, "The recent decrease in rainfall has led to an increase in viral infections. Fever with symptoms such as cough, cold, and throat pain has been reported in various parts of the district. The number of patients seeking medical treatment has increased, particularly among children. In Mangaluru city, there has been sunshine in recent days, with rain showers occurring at night in some areas. Precautions are necessary to prevent the spread of diseases."

    Facts hidden by WHO- Since invention of MPox since 100 years no mPox virus has been found, seen or isolated till today to prove the infection is caused by this same virus through experiments. One study done just drew infected material from monkeys and was directly injected into the brains of rats which died but without any symptoms of mPox but claimed this experiment proved it's caused by it( fake experiment). This seems to be just like chicken pox or small pox but it's seen only among male partners in physical relationship with each other. It doesn't spread through air and no mask or isolation would work just like failed mandates of covid. If one remembers during covid pandemic Bill Gates had predicted next pandemic will be Small Pox!. Is it a coincidence or created just like corona? Same RTPCR test will be used again which never proves existence of any virus in first place.
