Looks like just one from this variant's outbreak in Sweden at the moment; there's other cases around, such as Germany and Pakistan, but they might be the older one from 2022, but until it's sequenced, no-one can be sure. The 2022 outbreak seemed to have a death rate of about 1:500, whereas the current strain is more transmissible and is currently running at 1:300 in DRC Article on vaccine production here of one of the newer specific vaccines MPox Vaccine Manufacturing in Africa ‘Unlikely’; Donations Are Most Likely Supply Channel, says Bavarian Nordic Official Health Policy Watch Sweden Detects First Case Of More Virulent Strain Of Mpox Forbes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Desmog link Yes WHO has declared an emergency, which highlights the issue of transmission from DRC to other countries. e.g. the NHS needs to be alert to possible cases, and the existing UK's infectious disease tracing system might need putting in motion; N.B. the existing one, not the C-19 version. It's been used successfully for years for thing like STD or TB outbreaks. HMG link The big difference the author chose not to mention is the means of transmission, (and the related differences in actual transmissibility/infectiousness.) The other one, is that the world already has experience of dealing with MPox outbreaks as I mentioned in earlier posts, but see also; https://sph.umich.edu/news/2022posts/monkeypox-it-may-be-the-next-pandemic-but-its-different-than-covid.html 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
