Illinois hits 1,000 monkeypox cases: Arwady cautiously optimistic, new state health director reflects
Lauren McBlaine receives a smallpox/monkeypox vaccine from nurse practitioner Zyra Gordon-Smith, of Howard Brown Health, at the Cell Block Chicago club on Aug. 6, 2022.
“It’s too early to say things look really good, but definitely some signs of slowing of cases,” Arwady said as she shared national case counts. “We’re not seeing the potentially exponential growth that we were seeing early on.”The local data shows “early signs of a possible plateau in new cases,” said Arwady, who presented a slideshow at her weekly Q&A Tuesday in which the phrase “good news” often appeared in green letters.
But while first-time parents might have to deal with midnight cries, Vohra, born in Chicago’s Irving Park neighborhood, had to respond to the nation’s first day care monkeypox exposure in his first week.Reflecting on the state of the monkeypox outbreak, the new IDPH director noted that internal modeling had predicted that Illinois would pass 1,400 cases by mid-August.
