“What happens if someone does test positive in the UK?

If a person is suspected to have monkeypox in the UK, they usually will be given a PCR test – similar to the ones that were used to pick up Covid.

These use swabs taken from the skin and throat.

There are no specific treatments, and the NHS currently says if symptoms are mild, patients may simply be advised to stay at home until they recover.

If the illness is more serious, patients may be offered treatment including antiviral medication — Tecovirimat, which was designed for smallpox, and Cidofovir.

Will the current vaccine work against it?

After clade 2 sparked alarm among health officials globally in 2022, new infections gradually tapered off amid boosted awareness of the disease and a hurried vaccination program. 

At the time the UK reported almost 4,000 cases, with NHS England inoculating over 68,000 people against the disease with the smallpox vaccine.

This works due to the two viruses being closely related.

But experts said there wasn't yet enough evidence to suggest a vaccine would be effective against this new strain. 

Trials will be needed to work this out, which will take time, they added.”

Mpox alert: What are the symptoms of the new clade 1b mutation and just how worried should we be as experts warn it could spread to Europe? | Daily Mail Online

Stu485, if you had a heart attack would ecpect to given a GDR POC test, or a lab test lol? Knowing the time the test leaves the hospital to the lab you might just drop dead. Isn’t 45 mins faster than 48 hours in your maths? Won’t your family sue the Trust for not administering the faster test, RECOMMENDED by NICE??!! What planet do you inhabit, the Apes’ lol?

JoeyBloggs7 “You’re the stupid one not selling up in the run up to the NICE news.”. So you can time the market, buying low and selling high, WOW! Shouldn't you be sunbathing in your island in the Caribbean, rather than posting BS all day, it’s summer……unless you’re in your mum’s council flat basement lol

Trading is gambling and therefore it’s loss making. Can you name one successful gambler/trader in history?

Slacker246, yes I’m invested to make money but in a company whose products saves lives. If I feel I won’t be making money I’ll sell my shares but will never try to put down such a company or any other for that matter- cause unlike you I was brought up to try always to contribute constructively in whatever I do. Now go and join the rioters you share a lot with them from your attitude here. And stop exposing your parents on a public forum far the lack of good parental skills you reflect on them.

I do mention the waiting list and legal matters, hence why I say the NHS will have to speed up the purchase across all the trusts for fear being sued particularly now that NICE has recommended GDR device…..not to mention efficiency eg reducing waiting list, saving money, the right/better treatment etc…

Slacker246, I’m normally not a horrible person, but I see your type putting down a company that is trying to save lives, I just wish you or your loved one would need GDR test kid and won’t be given it. Some stupid people may sometimes need a very harsh experience to cure albeit relatively their stupidity and you are one of these people. No wonder the U.K. is the worse country in Europe in all aspects today, cause your type are multiplying like never before.

Why only 1 device per U.K. NHS trust. Considering the result of the test is provided in 45 mins, as opposed to days currently it’d defy the purpose having just 1 GDR kit per trust to cover a big geographical area a trust is responsible for eg the greater Manchester. You’d want more than 1 device so result is given the spot, to administer treatment, to free up beds and to cut down on the waiting list which is now hoovering at 7 millions. Add the fact the NHS will be saving £445 over 5 years, £100,000 a kit is peanut in comparison. Further, no trust with its SEVERAL hospital would want to be dragged to court or pay compensation if they the test isn’t administered on time the patient develops side effect, if not worse, particularly now the device is recommended by NICE. Therefore each Trust will have to purchase more than 1 kit for efficient, reducing waiting list, better treatment, legal issues and value for money. So multiply 237 by 2/3 etc…I’d say.

Vox has published their opinion on today news and says this an excellent milestone and that rapid contracts signing will ensue as a result. As I said earlier gdr test kit will save the funds starved NHS £445m over 5 years. Therefore all hospitals will but a test kit. If just 10 hospital do, that’s £1m for gdr. But you bet 100s hospitals will buy, including private ones, not to mention the Middle East, Europe and the US, not to mention China. I suspect within 2 weeks another hospital purchase will be announced, maybe Brighton’s.

Since it’s NICE recommendation all hospitals will buy the kit. So this is one contract of several to come. This will save time and money for the fund starved NHS.

Dosanddonts, 2 days ago you said the financials update would be in September. So why are you now saying they should have updated today? You also said you were expecting Haleon launch next year, why are you upset about the news of the launch by the end of this year? Haven’t you had your coffee yet?

GG, you or your so called physician know better that Haleon, the biggest US healthcare consumers products seller in the US. They must so so stupid to spend their valuable time and money on Eroxon. Why don’t you try Eroxon on your head, it might erect your brain to good effect. Or if Eroxon is unaffordable for you just, use your hand lol.

Considering the application is for 6 years + old, with 90% of the work & evidence already done for the previous approval and further validation by the subsequent US hospitals, it shouldn’t take long for this application to be approved, maybe by the year end.

Shpunken, in the last update 2 weeks ago they said they beat expectations with 6 deals instead of 5. Today’s they’ve further beaten those expectations. As I said before, as more deals are signed there will come an inflexion point in the next months imo where contracts will quickly be signed as confetti, establishing POLX’s products as standards across most US hospitals, then the EU and China etc….

Aswi, it’s the manufacturer of the product that discount not the selling company. And discount is made for products that aren’t selling as expected. Therefore this suggests Viagra isn’t selling which could mean Erexon is taking market share from Viagra. Just a thought

Here it is:

“Great British Energy will co-invest in new technologies, attracting private funding in areas including floating offshore windfarms, tidal power and hydrogen. It will also have the power to scale and accelerate mature technologies such as wind, solar and nuclear, partnering with existing private sector firms to speed up their deployment and meet ambitious timelines for delivery.”

Pask, in a guardian article this week, Ed Miliband mentions Tidal wave and offshore renewables and working with the private companies. So SAE is ahead of the game and I’m sure the government will be interested in working with them.

Maybe just new investors catching up & and current investors adding given Polx great potential now that POLX beat expectations in getting its products adopted and more to come. Still more mileage in the sp up trajectory imo.

As the momentum builds up with more hospitals trialing or purchasing POLX tech, there will come an inflexion point where in the next 6 months I’d guess contracts will be signed as confetti, establishing POLX’ as standard across the USA. Then EU and China etc…

If only from 2 sales deal POLX received $2.5m, they have XENOVIEW installed in 17 sites. And since they expect more sales this year, another 2/3 sales is a minimum to expect. And the more sales the more the momentum will built for more is XENOVIEW will be a standardised across the USA ….and then Europe, Asia etc…. It’s no brainier this £1 in no time relatively speaking, underpinned by the momentum in XENOVIEW sales non stop for years.
