What is it about?

The study aims to find the infection and recovery periods of the 2022 outbreak of monkey-pox virus disease in the United States and Spain. Using simulation and analytical methods, the researchers found that the infection period ranges from 10 to 20 days and the recovery period ranges from 15 to 30 days. The average values for both periods are approximately two and three weeks, respectively. This approach can be expanded to forecast other parameters and for multiple countries.
