Using contaminated towels or pool equipment can put you at risk of mpox. Using contaminated towels or pool equipment can put one at risk of mpox Items such as bedding, clothing, and other objects may also be contaminated with the virus if someone with mpox uses them.
Myth #2: Mpox can spread in large gatherings
Fact: Yes, while Mpox can spread in larger gatherings, the risk varies depending on factors like ventilation, crowding, and the nature of interactions. Closed spaces and prolonged skin-to-skin contact can significantly increase the risk of transmission.
Myth #3: Mpox is Life-threatening.
Fact: While Mpox can cause serious illness in some cases, especially in individuals with weakened immune systems, most infections are mild and self-limiting. The death rate from mpox is relatively low. Although most mpox infections are relatively mild, they can cause significant discomfort in some cases. Therefore, it’s recommended to take precautions to avoid contracting the virus.
Myth #4: Mpox is a sexually transmitted disease.
Fact: Kissing, touching, or sexual activity with an infected person can transmit mpox. according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), people who have sex with many or new partners are more likely to contract mpox. Contact with an infected person’s lesions or bodily fluids can transmit mpox. This can occur during sexual activity but also in other settings like households or when individuals are in close physical proximity.
Myth #5: Only gay and bisexual men can get mpox.
Fact: Mpox is not exclusive to the LGBTQ+ community. It can affect anyone who doesn’t have immunity. It’s essential to dispel the myth that this virus only affects certain groups. Mpox awareness and prevention are crucial for everyone. The virus is indiscriminate and affects people of all backgrounds irrespective of one’s sexual orientation or gender.
Myth #6: The mpox vaccine is new.
Fact: No the vaccine being recommended to prevent the spread of mpox right now is not new. Mpox vaccines are recommended for individuals.
Myth #7: It’s highly contagious.
Fact: Mpox is not as contagious as COVID-19 and primarily spreads through close contact with an infected person’s lesions, respiratory droplets, or contaminated items. The risk of a major outbreak is less probable.
Myth #8: It’s caused by monkeys.
Fact: Not exclusive to monkeys
The virus can be spread by animals, including rodents and primates. Understanding this helps prevent stigmatization and ensures people take appropriate precautions, regardless of the animals they encounter. The name ‘monkeypox’ suggests a connection to monkeys, it’s actually more closely related to the smallpox virus. Despite its initial discovery in monkeys, humans are also susceptible.
Myth #9: It’s the same as smallpox.
Fact: Both mpox and smallpox are caused by viruses in the Orthopoxvirus genus, a family of related viruses. They exhibit similar symptoms such as fever, headache, muscle aches, fatigue, and a rash with fluid-filled lesions.
However, mpox is generally less severe than smallpox. While both can cause a rash, mpox lesions tend to be smaller and less numerous. Additionally, mpox is less contagious than smallpox was, making it less likely to spread widely.
Smallpox had a high fatality rate, especially in unvaccinated individuals. Mpox, on the other hand, has a much lower fatality rate. While it can be serious, particularly in people with weakened immune systems, most cases of mpox are mild and self-limiting.

Golden Growth Fund Secures Rs25 Crore in First Closing of the Fund to Acquire a Prime Land Parcel in South Delhi
New Delhi, 10th September, 2024: Golden Growth Fund (GGF), a leading Category 2 Alternate Investment Fund (AIF), has successfully secured ₹25 crore in its first funding round, which concluded in mid-August. This initial capital infusion will be used to acquire a prime land parcel in South Delhi, marking a significant milestone for GGF. The acquisition is the first project under GGF’s strategic plan to develop high-end residential properties in the region, further supported by Grovy India Limited, which has completed over 100 real estate developments in Delhi.
Ankur Jalan, CEO of Golden Growth Fund, stated, “This first closing of the fund is a significant step forward in our mission to transform the luxury real estate landscape in Delhi. Our commitment to acquiring and developing premium land parcels in South Delhi is now being realized, and we anticipate that our ongoing funding efforts will further solidify our position as a leader in the market.”
Golden Growth Fund distinguishes itself in the field of alternative investment funds by focusing exclusively on real estate opportunities in the Delhi region, particularly in South and Lutyens’ Delhi. As a Category 2 AIF, GGF operates under the regulatory oversight of SEBI, ensuring a high level of transparency and security for its investors.
Notably, Golden Growth Fund’s focus on brownfield projects offers a distinct advantage over other realty funds, which primarily target greenfield developments. GGF’s project turnaround time is anticipated to be between 15-18 months, significantly shorter than the 60-72 months typically seen in greenfield projects. Additionally, GGF’s projects face no time escalation, construction cost escalation, or government regulation uncertainties, unlike the high risks associated with other realty funds. Furthermore, the infrastructure surrounding GGF’s projects is fully developed, reducing sale uncertainty and price volatility, which remain high in greenfield projects.
Golden Growth Fund is dedicated to transforming real estate fortunes in Delhi by equipping investors with actionable insights and flexible investment options. This commitment to transparency, coupled with a focus on high-end residential development in prime locations, positions GGF as a leader in the market.
The ₹25 crore raised in the first closing is just the beginning, as GGF plans to close additional funding rounds in the coming months. This capital will be crucial in supporting GGF’s ongoing and future projects, which aim to transform the luxury real estate market in South Delhi. With multiple proposals already in the pipeline, GGF is set to play a key role in reshaping the region’s real estate landscape.
Looking ahead, Golden Growth Fund anticipates continued growth and expansion as it finalizes additional funding rounds and explores new investment opportunities. The leadership team, with decades of experience in real estate and investment management, is committed to executing its projects with precision and delivering superior value to its stakeholders. GGF’s strategic focus on acquiring and developing prime land parcels in South Delhi highlights its commitment to driving high returns for its investors while contributing to the transparency of the region’s luxury real estate market.
