Global monkeypox threat upgraded to 'moderate' by World Health Organization amid fears virus will jump to animals and never be eradicated
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] - The UK Health Security Agency confirmed 71 new cases in today, bringing the UK total since May 6 to 179
How many of ‘em went to that recent Gay Pride festival in Spain, or have interacted with someone who has?
- WHO said outbreak is 'moderate risk' because clusters have been reported in different places simultaneously
- The outbreak, which was first detected in early May, has spread to 24 countries and struck 106 Britons
- The UN health agency said risk from the virus 'could become high' if it spreads to more vulnerable groups
- WHO said surge in infections suggests virus 'may have been circulating unrecognised' for weeks or longer
- There are growing concerns that monkeypox will spill into wild animals and never be eradicated
I’m confused. Doesn’t monkey pox come from an animal reservoir, which has never been eradicated?
