Are we supposed to know what monkey pox is and it’s implications? I didn’t see that in the article, just the incidence of it,etc. I may have skipped it but what is it anyways?

The short answer is, basically it's smallpox. Those of us who are immunized against smallpox have a lower rate of infection and mortality, but it's not 100%.
