WHO Declares Mpox Outbreak in Africa a Global Health Emergency
[Epoch Times] The World Health Organization on Aug. 14 declared the outbreak of mpox in Africa a public health emergency of international concern, due to the increase in cases and deaths in recent months.

A public health emergency of international concern, or global health emergency, is the highest level of alarm the WHO can convey. It’s declared for extraordinary events deemed to constitute a public health risk to countries through the international spread of disease.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, the director-general of the UN’s WHO, announced the declaration in Geneva, accepting a recommendation from WHO’s emergency committee.

Tedros said there’s already been more than 14,000 reported cases, and 524 reported deaths in Africa this year, a jump from last year. He also pointed to the emergence of a new mpox strain, or clade, which he described as worrying.

Formerly known as monkeypox, mpox is a virus that occurs in animals and humans. Mpox can spread between people and causes an illness that typically manifests with a rash and resolves in a few weeks. But some cases can lead to death.

Mpox typically spreads between men who have sex with other men.

As noted: "Mpox typically spreads between men who have sex with other men."
So it seems Africa has a sizeable Male Homosexual population. Given the increased number of Africans using the US Open Border to cross. Will I.C.E. be doing Butt checks at the border ☻?

SIDE NOTE:
How many panic epidemics/Pandemics does this made now, that just happen to start a few months before US National Elections?

#2 Only an emergency to the Davos crowd, worried about a 95% infection rate after their next meeting.

And those who use the Juicy Smollet Dating Ap.
