Man dies from Alaskapox, first human fatality from newly identified viral disease
Aside from being the first fatal human case, it is the documented first human infection outside of the Fairbanks area, indicating that the virus, which is known to be harbored by small mammals, has spread beyond the wildlife populations in that Interior community.
@nursefrombirth Just read that person's symptoms. Awful!
@nursefrombirth No, thank you. We've already had a plague this generation. We're good.
@nursefrombirth I've never heard of them. Do you get a rash that looks like a map of the Aleutian islands?
