Eugyppius posted this pre-print of one patient and the sequence of the monkeypox. It appears to be a sequence seen a few years ago in Israel which would suggest that this is at least not a bioterrorism event. It at least supports a possible zoonotic event.
The festival is interesting. There appears to be an outbreak linked to a sauna in Madrid. It appears that the festival may have served as an epicenter for people to have travelled across the western world. Travel between other European countries would be easy, and it may explain why this is occurring in predominately western countries. Cultural stigma against homosexuals in other Eastern countries probably precludes them from these activities.
I partly believe the reason this is predominately occurring in the gay community is not just because of a large event but also because many people may be mistaking the skin legions as an STI. That, along with their sexual activities would explain why many of these reports are coming from sex clinics.
To be quite honest I'm rather dismayed at the immediate jump to start blaming "the gays" for spreading this disease. I'm seeing a lot of ignorance popping up, especially arguing that this is exclusively occurring in gay men- it's not. Also, monkeypox can also spread through respiratory droplets which means that close contact is needed sans any sex. So if this virus' genome is the same as ones seen previously, which indicates it can also spread through respiratory droplets, how is it than we can now assume this is a sexually transmitted disease only?
As to the cause, I would wonder if there was someone who had the bright idea to import monkeys or animals into the region and thus causing the outbreak.
Fun fact: Rumsfeld was a Pharm guy.

But anyways, great and thorough article!
