It is calculated as the average number of children an average woman will have during her reproductive period (15 to 49 years old) based on the current fertility rates of every age group in the country, and assuming she is not subject to mortality.ĭensity (P/Km²): (Population Density) Population per square Kilometer (Km²). This parameter provides an indication of age distribution.įertility Rate: (Total Fertility Rate, or TFR), it is expressed as children per woman. Median Age: age that divides the population into two numerically equal groups: half of the people are older than the median age indicated and half are younger. A negative number means that there are more emigrants than immigrants. Migrants (net): The average annual number of immigrants minus the number of emigrants over the preceding five year period (running from July 1 to June 30 of the initial and final years), or subsequent five year period (for 2016 data). For all other years: average annual numerical change over the preceding five year period. Yearly Change: For 2019: absolute change in total population (increase or decrease in number of people) over the last year (from Jto June 30 2019). For all other years: latest year annual percentage change equivalent assuming homogeneous change in the preceding five year period, calculated through reverse compounding. Yearly % Change: For 2019: percentage change in total population over the last year (from Jto June 30 2019). World Population Prospects: The 2019 Revision. Population: Overall total population (both sexes and all ages) in the country as of July 1 of the year indicated, as estimated by the United Nations, Department of Economic and Social Affairs, Population Division. Year: as of July 1 of the year indicated. This value can differ from the Yearly % Change shown in the historical table, which shows the last year equivalent percentage change assuming homogeneous change in the preceding five year period. The Yearly Population Growth Rate chart plots the annual percentage changes in population registered on July 1 of each year, from 1951 to 2019. The Population of the United States (1950 - 2019) chart plots the total population count as of July 1 of each year, from 1950 to 2019. An antiviral agent developed for the treatment of smallpox has also been licensed for the treatment of monkeypox.The United States Population (Live) counter shows a continuously updated estimate of the current population of the United States of America delivered by Worldometer's RTS algorithm, which processes data collected from the United Nations Population Division.Newer vaccines have been developed of which one has been approved for prevention of monkeypox. Vaccines used during the smallpox eradication programme also provided protection against monkeypox.Monkeypox is less contagious than smallpox and causes less severe illness. The clinical presentation of monkeypox resembles that of smallpox, a related orthopoxvirus infection which was declared eradicated worldwide in 1980.Monkeypox virus can be transmitted from one person to the next through contact with body fluids, lesions respiratory droplets, and other contaminated substances like bedding.
Monkeypox spreads to humans by intimate contact between an affected animal or a person or through contact with objects infected with the virus.In recent times, the case fatality ratio has been around 3-6%. Monkeypox is usually a self-limited disease with the symptoms lasting from 2 to 4 weeks.Monkeypox typically presents clinically with fever, rash and swollen lymph nodes and may lead to a range of medical complications.Monkeypox is a viral zoonotic disease that occurs primarily in tropical rainforest areas of Central and West Africa and is occasionally exported to other regions.Monkeypox is caused by monkeypox virus, a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae.It is not clear whether people who do not have symptoms can spread the disease. The virus can also spread from someone who is pregnant to the foetus from the placenta, or from an infected parent to child during or after birth through skin-to-skin contact. People who closely interact with someone who is infectious, including health workers, household members and sexual partners are therefore at greater risk for infection. Ulcers, lesions or sores in the mouth can also be infectious, meaning the virus can spread through saliva. Clothing, bedding, towels or objects like eating utensils/dishes that have been contaminated with the virus from contact with an infected person can also infect others. The rash, bodily fluids (such as fluid, pus or blood from skin lesions) and scabs are particularly infectious. You can catch monkeypox through close physical contact with someone who has symptoms. How is monkeypox transmitted? People with monkeypox are infectious while they have symptoms (normally for between two and four weeks).
