WHO declares monkeypox a public health emergency
When it first started spreading outside of Africa I was concerned because the reported fatality rate was something like 5-10%<p>Now we have tens of thousands of cases outside of Africa and it doesn’t appear to be lethal at all and goes away on its own. Depending on the severity it seems like the biggest issue is pain/itchiness for a week or so.<p>So what’s the “emergency” in that context?
