A "global emergency"!
Over some 14,000 cases (0.00002% of Earth's population) and 524 deaths (0.00000007% of Earth's population), with more than 96% of all cases and deaths in Congo.

APnews.com: WHO declares mpox outbreaks in Africa a global health emergency as a new form of the virus spreadsLONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization declared the mpox outbreaks in Congo and elsewhere in Africa a global emergency on Wednesday, with cases confirmed among children and adults in more than a dozen countries and a new form of the virus spreading. Few vaccine doses are available on the continent.
Earlier this week, the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced that the mpox outbreaks were a public health emergency, with more than 500 deaths, and called for international help to stop the virus’ spread.
“This is something that should concern us all ... The potential for further spread within Africa and beyond is very worrying,” said WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The Africa CDC previously said mpox, also known as monkeypox, has been detected in 13 countries this year, and more than 96% of all cases and deaths are in Congo. Cases are up 160% and deaths are up 19% compared with the same period last year. So far, there have been more than 14,000 cases and 524 people have died.
“We are now in a situation where (mpox) poses a risk to many more neighbors in and around central Africa,” said Salim Abdool Karim, a South African infectious diseases expert who chairs the Africa CDC emergency group. He said the new version of mpox spreading from Congo appears to have a death rate of about 3-4%.

rduckworWell, it's been a while since they could get any mileage out of COVID, so WHO has to generate a new crisis to get everyone's panties in a wad.
Since I do not plan to go to central Africa or be around anyone who has traveled there, Ho-Hum.

Pipe SmokerPer the OP, it appears that they’re trying to rename it: Mpox instead of Monkeypox.

AglifterIf it’s found a new way to spread, that can be a concern. TMK, it was being spread only among homosexuals- which usually means blood borne.

Yup, right on schedule.
But I think I have a fool proof way of avoiding this one. I'm just not going to go to gay orgies and go bareback on other dudes every weekend. That's going to be my strategy.

LunaseeIt was probably declared an emergency because someone has a vaccine to sell.

So... what else is there to do out at sea?
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

YooperSigsNot only Monkey Pox, but one of my news feeds was claiming that Covid cases are rising in some parts of the country.
Gotta have some type of BS crisis going all the time!
Said the increase of Covid was based on the analysis of "wastewater".
So I guess someone is rooting through shit to find Covid!
