Small pox like virus showing up in Georgian republic

Two men were infected so far, it is said to resemble smallpox. No word on other cases, but it's said they were infected by dairy cattle.Both men have fully recovered Given the current geopolitical situation, hopefully we are not seeing some kind of biological weapon being used. There is NO inference of this but it's creepy this is showing up there now.

Woooooooooooooooo



Hopefully its something like monkey pox.


But this has got my micro senses tingling.

Cow pox maybe..............?? seriously....cow pox....?

Let's hope this isn't anything too serious and it doesn't spread. The last thing that region needs right now is a pandemic!

Almost certainly cowpox, I would think - it's readily transmitted from livestock to humans, and resembles smallpox (though is much less serious). en.wikipedia.org...
