A total of 710 cases of Monkeypox have been registered in Portugal as of August 3. The numbers are growing linearly, rather than exponentially, as can be seen from the following data:
- July 1 - 415 cases - about 10 new cases per day
- July 7 - 473 cases - about 10 new cases per day
- July 13 - 515 cases - about 7 new cases per day
- July 20 - 588 cases - about 10 new case per day
- July 27 - 633 cases - about 7 new cases per day
- August 3 -710 cases - about 10 new cases per day
Assuming a hospital stay of no more than ten days for the infected, there should be no more than 100 active cases of Monkeypox in Portuguese hospitals at the moment. The situation has been stable in Portugal for a month, with little sign of increase or decrease. If the situation persists Monkeypox will become a rare treatable STD confined to the Pride community.
