The proof with this publication of a Spanish doctor who, in the Madrid metro, on July 15, noticed that one of the commuters was infected with the disease. The man was covered in pimples, from head to toe: “I saw him get on the subway and I saw the people around him who acted as if nothing had happened,” explained Arturo Henriques.
Basically, the doctor did not intend to publish this photo and tell this story. But given the urgency of the health situation and the ever-increasing number of cases, he decided to talk about it: “I asked him what he was doing there if he had monkeypox. He confirmed to me that he was infected and that his doctor had told him that it was not necessary to isolate himself. He just told her to wear a mask.
Arturo Henriques then explained to her that her many rashes were actually dangerous for others. He then asked him if he was sure he had understood his doctor’s instructions correctly: “But he told me he didn’t care and went to sit down”.
