Monkey pox Outbreak in UK/Spain

The next plague on the march?

No. If you're worried (there's no reason to be) then don't be a slob and wash your bedsheets. That's about it.

We have hit over 250 cases.

Now that we know more about the disease, it's pretty funny to read some of the hysterical comments in this thread. I was going to suggest that their author should write for one of those tabloids that put an exclamation mark in every headline, but 'let's hope that the virus kills mostly children' seems too cartoon-villain even for the Daily Mail.

So the virus has been increasing exponentially. I could see this one being deadlier than COVID.

600 cases now according to the wiki.

In terms of raw deaths? LMAO.
In terms of actual mortality rate, yeah probably.

A month later and we are at over 4,000 cases. So far apparently there had been one death in an immunocompromised person but I can’t find a good source for that claim tbh. The UK and Spain still lead. It is widely believed the virus has been spreading undetected for quite some time and that cases are significantly higher than thought.
