The World Health Organization today declared an ultra-deadly strain of monkeypox a global public health emergency.

Officials said that an outbreak of the virus in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and its neighboring countries posed 'international concern' - the WHO's highest level of alert.

The hope is to speed up research and accumulate more funding and public health measures to contain the virus, which is more infectious and several times deadlier than the one that caused the global outbreak in 2022.

No cases of the new strain have been reported in the US or the UK yet, but the American CDC is urging doctors to be extra vigilant for symptoms like skin rashes and lesions.

More than 17,000 suspected cases of monkeypox, now called mpox, and 517 deaths have been reported on the African continent this year alone, according to the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention. This is a 160 percent surge compared to the same period last year.

A total of 13 countries have reported cases. And in the past month, at least 50 mpox cases have been reported in four other countries bordering the DRC - countries that have not experienced the virus before.

They include Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda and Uganda.  

Mpox caused an international epidemic in 2022 when it spread to more than 100 countries and killed hundreds of people - including 58 Americans. No deaths were recorded in the UK but several thousand Brits were infected.

That outbreak was caused by the more mild clade 2 strain, which is rarely fatal.

But for more than a year, the DRC has been struggling to contain a deadlier version of the virus known as 'clade 1a,' which kills up to 10 percent of those infected.

Dr Josie Golding, head of epidemics and epidemiology at infectious disease organization Wellcome in the UK, said: 'Epidemics pose a threat to health and health equity globally. The current surge of cases in Africa demonstrates the ongoing and growing threat of mpox.'

'We should not wait for diseases to escalate and cross borders before acting. Effective outbreak control requires sustained, coordinated efforts worldwide – from local and national governments, and public and private industry to funders, regulators and NGOs.'

Two vaccines have been backed by the WHO to prevent mpox infection.

The organization recommends a vaccine within four days of contact with someone who has the virus or within up to 14 days if there are no symptoms.

Healthcare workers and men who have sex with men are advised to receive a vaccine even if they have had no mpox exposure.

Symptoms of mpox include a rash, skin lesions, fever, headache, muscle aches, back pain and swollen lymph nodes.

It is spread through physical contact, such as kissing or sex, animals when cooking them, contaminated materials and pregnant women who can spread it to a fetus.

Mpox, formerly known as monkeypox, is a viral disease that can spread easily between people and from infected animals.

It can spread through close contact such as touching, kissing or sex, as well as through contaminated materials like sheets, clothing and needles, according to WHO

There aren't any currently approved antiviral treatments for mpox.

If you're very sick, your provider might prescribe antiviral drugs like cidofovir or tecovirimat.

These drugs are approved to treat other viral infections (like smallpox), but researchers need to learn more about how well they work for mpox.

Plandemic katanyehh.
Kronologi virus, asal negara mana apa lancau info semua tolak tepi.

Yang penting, lu worang jangan dengar cakap WHO.
Pandai bangkang, tapi solusi dan usaha takdak.
Kalau pemikiran level gini pun mudah terpengaruh, apatah lagi nak pimpin segerombolan manusia duduk hidup diam dalam hutan.

Sweden's public health agency has recorded what it says is the first case of a contagious new variant of mpox outside the African continent.

The person became infected during a stay in an area of Africa where there is currently a major outbreak of mpox Clade 1, the agency said.

The news comes just hours after the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the outbreak of



mpox in parts of Africa was now a public health emergency of international concern.

At least 450 people died during an initial outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo and the disease has since spread to areas of central and east Africa.
