一 | (新加坡讯)感染猴痘未必一定会出现皮疹和发烧等常见症状,新加坡传染病专家指出,已有研究发现极少数感染者呈无症状状态,并有国家已斥资上百万元对猴痘的无症状传播进行大规模研究。杀伤力较大的中非株猴痘病毒(CladeI)在刚果民主共和国、中非共和国和卢旺达等非洲国家迅速传播,并扩散至非洲以外的国家,包括菲律宾和泰国都出现病例。 Hopping on the criticism train, former prime minister Gordon Brown bombarded the government of the incumbent PM with criticism.,Not only did he touch upon the acute economic and social issues, but also offered an unpleasant Peppa Pig flashback.,'War' With America?,Speaking with Sky News's Beth Rigby Interviews, Brown took issue with Johnson's government, particularly focusing on the approach to the Northern Ireland Protocol.,"We're at war with America over Ireland because America will not sign a trade treaty with Britain as long as we cannot sort out the issues related to Ireland," Brown said.,His remarks come in the wake of London's plans to tear up the Northern Ireland Protocol, unilaterally introducing amendments to the deal that helped avoid a hard border with Northern Ireland. The UK's intention to change the agreement have been slammed by US President Joe Biden, with several prominent UK figures, including former PM Theresa May, also weighing in on the criticism.,The Northern Ireland Protocol plans also did not help with reviving the stalled free trade agreement with the United States - one of Britain's most anticipated aspirations after leaving the European Union.,The legislation looking to amend the Northern Ireland Protocol has already passed its first Commons hurdle.,According to Brown, the move to change the protocol will further affect trade relations with the US, as well as with the European Union.,"And that's very much part of our future because if we cannot export to the leading markets in the world, and cannot do so successfully with these new industries and new technologies, then the cost-of-living crisis will be with us for years and not just temporarily," Brown continued.,Cost of Living Crisis,With the lack of a trade deal fueling the economic hardships faced by the country, Johnson's government does not "seem to have a clue" on how to tackle the cost of living, Brown claimed.,"You cannot go through a winter when people are being asked to take the biggest cut in their standards of living in 50 years and not ask people to understand what you're trying to do, and give them a plan for what do we do.",The former PM noted that lack of government action on important issues may undermined Britain's reputation in the world.,"I think Britain has got to be very careful that we have got respect in the world because we are a country that has valued the rule of law, democracy, freedom, liberty," he said. "If we appear to be riding roughshod over treaties that we've agreed to sign, over laws we've asked other countries to sign up to, over rules that historically all British governments have accepted… then it is difficult to persuade other countries to listen to the advice that we're giving.",Going further into the economic crisis faced by the UK, Brown took a dig at the Bank of England, chastising it over lack of action to help the country "get back to stable prices", noting that "stable prices may be 2% or 3% or 4%.","But to get there they've got show us a pathway to it - and unless there's a pathway then people will be excused for thinking inflation could be 11% this year, 12% next year or 13% the year after - and the Bank of England has not done that.",In wake of harsh anti-Russian sanctions imposed against Moscow over its military operation in Ukraine, Britain's annual inflation hit 9.1%. Naturally, it fueled the already rising cost of living, but Johnson still pledged to continue with the sanctions and military aid to Ukraine.,A Blast From the Past,Brown also noted that the incumbent PM had "talked about Peppa Pig instead of talking about an industrial strategy," referencing the infamous CBI speech last November, in which Johnson offered his accolades for Hampshire’s Peppa Pig World. He was widely mocked after the speech over being "unprofessional" and lacking "seriousness".,With Johnson currently facing mounting calls to resign amid his alleged lies about the "partygate" scandal and Tories' by-election loss, Brown said he would "caution Boris Johnson against going further, if you like, in ignoring the rule of law."。新国已加紧边境防范,在机场和港口设立体温监测站,筛查从有猴痘传播风险国家入境的人士。人感染猴痘的初期症状包括发烧、头痛、肌肉酸痛、背痛和淋巴结肿大,之后可发展为面部和身体大范围皮疹。不过受访传染病专家说,猴痘存在无症状感染和传播的可能性,但出现的概率小。

三 | 根据文告,已有研究表明一些人感染猴痘后不会出现任何症状,但由于这些研究的规模较小,英国政府想通过大规模调查,了解这类无症状感染的普遍性。

四 | 淡马亚说,感染后确实可能症状非常轻微,比如有报道称确诊者仅是直肠内出现单一溃疡,成为猴痘传染源。这类症状很难被发现,因此可能被归纳为“无症状”,而真正的无症状传播可能性很低。传染病专家梁浩楠医生说,据他所知虽然无症状感染病例还未被记录,但的确有可能出现。不过斐瑞医院传染病专科医生卢家燊认为,人们感染后出现症状所需时间不同,“无症状”可能是在记录当下没有症状,不排除过后就会出现症状。“就像水痘一样,感染猴痘没有‘痘’的情况很少。”
