Monkeypox Declared Global Emergency ⛔️

The WHO declared monkeypox a global health emergency, the highest alert level, after 16,000 cases spread across 75 countries. The emergency committee initially couldn't agree but classified it as a Public Health Emergency of International Concern, the same level used for COVID-19 and polio.

So monkeypox has just been declared a World Health Emergency, a global health emergency, by the World Health Organization. Now, the World Health Organization met twice about the monkeypox outbreak, and they were undecided as to whether it should be a global health emergency But it is, and I'm letting you know. Now, there are only two other states of global health emergency, and that is the coronavirus and polio. So this is actually the highest classification of alert that the World Health Organization can issue, and it follows a big upsurge in cases globally. Uh, it was their second meeting of the committee, and more than 16,000 cases have now been reported from 75 countries. There have been 5 deaths from the outbreak. So my question to you is, number 1, what do you think about this? Do you think that we're more sensitive to this now because of the coronavirus outbreak, or do you think this is something we should now take seriously because of what happened with the coronavirus outbreak? The, the emergency committee of the World Health Organization had actually been unable to reach a consensus, but then they classified this as a global health emergency. And like I said, there's only coronavirus and polio that is currently in that category. It is the highest category. Um, apparently the World Health Organization have said that too little was understood about the new modes of transition which had allowed it to spread. The World Health Organization's assessment is that the risk of monkeypox is moderately globally is— sorry, is moderate globally and in all regions except in Europe, or except in Europe where the risk is high. It was a bit wordy, but that's what it says, um, in the breaking news. So it's moderately, um, risk category in the globe. But in Europe, it is high, high risk. There was also a clear risk of further international spread. The declaration would help speed up the development of vaccines and the implementation of measures to limit the spread of the virus. We've been here before. And another quote from the World Health Organization: this is an outbreak that can be stopped with the right strategies in the right group. Yes, so let me know what you think in the comments. Um, isn't it strange how we've not really had any viral outbreaks, or it doesn't feel like we have, for many, many years, and then we have two, um, in two years or two and a bit years? So let me know what you think. Is Um, so, you know, 5 deaths so far. Are we sensitive because of coronavirus? Is it actually fair and reasonable that we should be sensitive to this? Thankfully, they've said nothing yet about lockdowns or anything like that, but the World Health Organization have declared a global health emergency on the monkeypox outbreak, which has 16,000 cases from 75 countries and 5 deaths so far. The, um, global health emergency is the highest alert that they can issue, and they say it's high risk in Europe and medium risk, uh, globally. And that's the breaking news. So my question to you would be— well, I've got some, a few questions, and I'd love your thoughts. Number one, what do you think about this? Do you think that it's fair and right that this should be declared a global health emergency? Number 2, do you think we're maybe— it's a bit sensitive because of coronavirus, or do you think coronavirus has given us the warning that we need to actually take it seriously? Many of you are saying here it's all about control and jabs and control, jabs, etc. I would love your thoughts, uh, basically, because this is the breaking news. And look, we've been here before, so I will be keeping my eye on
