A double dose of misery.
这真可谓是雪上加霜。
One Bay Area man says he tested positive for Covid and was diagnosed with monkeypox at the same time.
美国湾区一名男子表示，他的新冠病毒检测呈阳性，而同时也被诊断出患有猴痘。
"I think the Covid was first, and that's what made it really weird, because I didn't actually realize I had the monkeypox until I start breaking out."
“我觉得最先得的是新冠肺炎，很奇怪的是，我实际上没有意识到我得了猴痘，直到我身体上开始出现痘痘。”
Mitcho Thompson of Sebastopol says shortly after he tested positive for COVID at the end of June and was feeling wiped out, he noticed red lesions on his back, legs, arms and neck.
来自塞瓦斯托波尔的米秋·汤普森表示，6月底他的新冠病毒检测呈阳性，当时感觉筋疲力尽，而就在这之后不久，他注意到自己的背部、腿部、手臂和颈部有红色病变。
"The doctor was very certain that I have monkeypox and that I had both.
“医生很确定我得了猴痘，而且当时体内存在着两种病毒。
Because that was the question. Could I get them at the same time? And he was, 'Yes, yes, yes.'"
然后我就问医生，我能同时得这两种病？医生说，‘可以的，可以的。’”
Mitcho says that one-two punch of Covid and monkeypox viruses led to weeks of misery.
米秋称，新冠病毒和猴痘病毒的双重冲击，给他的身体带来了持续数周的痛苦。
He says he felt like he had a horrible flu. He had trouble breathing, fever, chills, body aches, and skin lesions.
他表示，感觉就像自己得了严重的流感。有呼吸困难、发烧、发冷、身体疼痛和皮肤损伤这些症状。
"Really sick. And the worst of it was honestly where I just could barely get out of bed and you could barely get a drink of water."
“当时真是病得很厉害。老实说，最糟糕的是我几乎无法起床，连水也喝不了。”
Dr. Dean Winslow, professor of medicine and infectious diseases specialist at Stanford, says,
斯坦福大学医学教授和传染病专家迪恩·温斯洛博士表示，
while it's rare, it is possible for someone to get both monkeypox and COVID at the same time.
虽然这种情况很罕见，但同时感染猴痘和新冠病毒是有可能的。
"It's certainly not impossible for that to occur. You know, it's just incredibly bad luck. But they are very different viruses."
“这种情况当然是有可能发生的。不过这么倒霉也实属难以置信，这两种病毒是非常不同的病毒。”
He says COVID is much more transmissible than monkeypox, which is known as an Orthopoxvirus.
温斯洛博士称，相比属于正痘病毒的猴痘，新冠病毒的传染性更强。
Mitcho says he's finally starting to feel better, and has learned that given all he's been through, sometimes laughter is the best medicine.
米秋表示，现在他的身体终于开始有了好转，而且鉴于他所经历的一切，他感悟到，有时笑容才是良药。
