The assfucker had AIDS!

The Los Angeles County health department on Monday confirmed the first
death from monkeypox in the U.S.

In a statement, the department said the patient was severely
immunocompromised and had been hospitalized, but did not provide further
details.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has confirmed the death as
well, the department said.

In Texas, health officials are still investigating the death of a person
with monkeypox. When the death was reported on August 29, the Texas
Department of State Health Services said the patient was diagnosed with
monkeypox in the Houston area and was "severely immunocompromised." But
it's not yet known whether monkeypox was the cause of death.

The CDC has recorded nearly 2,000 monkeypox cases in Texas thus far, more
than 550 of which were in Houston as of Monday, according to Harris County
data.

In California, 4,300 cases had been reported as of Monday, according to
the CDC. At least 1,800 of those were in Los Angeles County, per the
county's latest data from Sept. 9.

The CDC said Friday in a weekly report on monkeypox that a case analysis
found that 61% of people in the U.S. who have developed the viral disease
also had HIV or another sexually transmitted infection or disease.

People who had both HIV and monkeypox were more likely to be hospitalized
than those with monkeypox who did not have HIV, the CDC said.

According to the World Health Organization, 98% of monkeypox cases outside
Africa have involved men who have sex with men, or MSM.

The CDC recommends that local public health officials "ensure equitable
access to monkeypox screening, prevention, and treatment, particularly
among MSM."

Monkeypox is often revealed through skin rashes, flu-like symptoms, aches
and fatigue. It is transmitted through direct contact with an infected
person, including via sex, and by touching objects like clothing or
bedding used by those with monkeypox.

Deaths are rare — more than 99% of people infected with the strain
currently circulating in the U.S. survive — and the disease resolves in
most patients within four weeks.

Outside the U.S., eight deaths from monkeypox have been reported this year
in countries where the virus isn't historically found, according to the
CDC. Two monkeypox deaths have been recorded in Brazil, two in Spain and
one each in Belgium, Cuba, Ecuador and India.
