WHO Says Monkeypox is a Global Health ‘Emergency,'
2022-07-24
[Epoch Times] Monkeypox has been declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO), joining COVID-19, which the international agency continues to label as such nearly two and a half years after it was first declared.

"I have decided that the global monkeypox outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a July 23 statement.

Ghebreyesus said that his decision was prompted by the global growth in monkeypox cases, which have now been reported in over 75 countries and territories, with over 16,000 infections and five deaths.
Five deaths. Right up there with covid and smallpox. How can we 'flatten the curve'?
From 10News:
WHO’s top monkeypox expert, Dr. Rosamund Lewis, said this week that 99% of all the monkeypox cases beyond Africa were in men and that of those, 98% involved men who have sex with men. Experts suspect the monkeypox outbreaks in Europe and North America were spread via sex at two raves in Belgium and Spain.

“Although I am declaring a public health emergency of international concern for the moment, this is an outbreak that is concentrated among men who have sex with men, especially those with multiple sexual partners," Tedros said. "That means that this is an outbreak that can be stopped with the right strategies in the right groups.
