A single case of mpox – formerly known as monkeypox – linked to the recent outbreak in parts of Africa, has been detected in the UK.
It is part of the Clade 1b outbreak, which appears to spread more easily between people.
Mpox was declared a global health emergency by the World Health Organization in the summer.
The UK patient had recently been on holiday in at least one of the affected countries in Africa and began to feel sick 24 hours after flying home.

Anyone notice any trends? Terror attacks/ nuclear threat/ climate change whatever/ viruses ? Anything to keep us in our place.
I wonder if it will only be a threat at certain times of the day, and in certain places, like the last one…..really clever these things.
Oh no we might have another lockdown
imagine believing in infectious disease. here we are, “mpox” being “a thing” since 2022. and yet…………. nothing. nothing except fake news like this. it’s difficult to still believe people who believe in infectious disease are human. it’s a trial, but . nah! don’t think of them as human at all! things. things are all that they are.
