Decreasing Monkeypox Cases Leave Scientists Optimistic That it Can Be Eliminated
Decreasing Monkeypox Cases , Leave Scientists Optimistic , That it Can Be Eliminated.
Since the peak of 440 daily reported cases of monkeypox in August.
... daily reported cases are now
down to close to 60.
Researchers refer to the progress as "the best-case scenario" in what could have been expected working against the virus.
Where we are now is the best-case scenario, in terms of what can happen when you actually commit the tools you have to fight an outbreak, Dr. Boghuma Titanji, Emory University, NPR News.
Researchers say that
data shows this outbreak
of monkeypox spreads
among a "contained core
group" of people.
[The outbreak in the U.S.] has really been contained in a core group of sexually active men who have sex with men, with
multiple partners, Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, University of Southern California, NPR News.
It's not in those long-term monogamous relationships or men who have an additional occasional partner every couple of months, Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, University of Southern California, NPR News.
This is really [concentrated among] men who have multiple new partners every week, Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, University of Southern California, NPR News.
Data shows that monkeypox is not likely to be spread on surfaces or through the transmission of saliva.
In addition, researchers expressed hope at the prospect that the disease could be eliminated either regionally or nationally.
I think we can expect to see regional elimination, potentially national elimination, where we would not see a sustained number of cases, Dr. Jeffrey Klausner, University of Southern California, NPR News.
However, questions remain about the efficacy of vaccines in terms of how long protections against the virus remains.
Do they offer 100%, 75% or
50% protection?
And is that protection for the rest of
your life?, Dr. Boghuma Titanji, Emory University, NPR News.
Or will you need subsequent vaccination to maintain a level
of protection?, Dr. Boghuma Titanji, Emory University, NPR News
American Airlines Is Sued for Discrimination , After Removing Black Men From Flight.
Three Black men filed a lawsuit against
the airline on May 29, NPR reports.
The men allege that they and five
other Black men were subjected to
"blatant and egregious racial discrimination"...
... when they were removed from
a flight in January "without any valid
reason, based solely on their race.".
The eight men reportedly did not know one another and weren't seated by each other on the flight. .
The lawsuit claims that an American Airlines representative singled out each of the men, asking them to leave the plane and book another flight.
In fact, once they reached the jet bridge,
they saw that several other Black men were
also being removed from the plane. In fact,
it appeared to Plaintiffs that American had
ordered all of the Black male passengers
on Flight 832 off the plane, Via lawsuit.
Later, the men discovered that they had been removed from the plane because a passenger complained about body odor, although none of them were approached about body odor. .
When the men told another American
Airlines staff member that they were being
racially targeted, the employee said she
"did not disagree," the lawsuit claims.
Ultimately, the passengers re-boarded the flight because there were no other flights available to their destination that evening.
Plaintiffs then had to re-board the plane
and endure the stares of the largely
white passengers who viewed them
as the cause of the substantial delay. , Via lawsuit.
They suffered during the entire
flight home, and the entire incident
was traumatic, upsetting, scary,
humiliating and degrading, Via lawsuit.
American Airlines is "currently
investigating the matter, as the claims do
not reflect" the company's "core values."

Have you been frozen by the sheer amount of options on a restaurant menu? Are you afraid of making the "wrong" choice?.
Experts say there is often no perfect choice, and the idea that one may exist could prevent you from choosing at all. Trust yourself.
Limit Your Options .
Experts say, if possible, give
yourself less room to choose.

store, avoid "analysis paralysis" by preparing a list and sticking to it.

Self-Trust.
Second opinions can be invaluable,
though experts say you must
learn to trust yourself.
There are situations
where I want to sit
with the discomfort
of making the
decision myself, , Monica Johnson, licensed psychologist, via NPR.

know what's right for me... , Monica Johnson, licensed psychologist, via NPR.

Why You Should , Set Healthy Boundaries .
Do you feel pressured to say yes to yet another work request? Maybe you've been burnt out by
too many social gatherings?.
It could be time to set some healthy boundaries.
A boundary is something that keeps you safe and comfortable in your relationships. , Nedra Glover Tawwab, therapist, author of 'Set Boundaries, Find Peace,' via NPR.
Signs You Need
to Set Boundaries.
If you feel forced into things you don't want to do, you're compromising on your boundaries.
Experts say ignoring to set boundaries often leads to frustration and resentment.
Increased anxiety prior to interacting with certain people or anticipating declining a request may also be a sign it's time to fortify your boundaries.
Those [feelings] are indicators that perhaps there is space for boundaries in this situation. , Nedra Glover Tawwab, therapist, author of 'Set Boundaries, Find Peace,' via NPR.
Practice Setting Boundaries.
Boundary-setting takes dedication and practice. Here are a few ways to refine your boundary-setting skills.
Ask yourself what you're willing to tolerate. When something doesn't feel right, set a boundary and communicate it clearly.
If you feel overextended, say so. Don't expect others to know what you can or can't handle.
If you don't have the energy to honor a request, be honest and politely decline.
Remember, boundaries start with you. Understanding your own capacity could lead to a life of healthier relationships

NPR reports you can transform your life by getting better at losing. Here's how:.

After a loss, it's difficult to separate
your bruised ego from reality.

When was the last time you
noticed someone else's mistake?.
I like to remind my clients,
and sometimes myself,
that probably about 90 percent
of everything everybody does is about them and not about us. , Dr. Adia Gooden, licensed clinical psychologist, via NPR.
People are not talking
for days and being like,
Oh my gosh, can you believe they had a typo on slide three? , Dr. Adia Gooden, licensed clinical psychologist, via NPR.
We All Lose,
That's Okay.
Remember losing is often unavoidable.
Approach the situation
with honesty and humility.
Experts say losing is "an experience
that is as universal as it gets." .
Don't let an "L" hold you back from greatness.
The great losers are the people who are able to recognize that a loss is
just one step in a process. , Sam Weinman, author and sports journalist, via NPR
