From your link, the strain of monkeypox involved has a fatality rate of 1%.
Compare that to the 0.2% - 0.3% with the coof, clustered among people over 70 with co-morbidities...
Anyone know the R0 for monkeypox?
And is it possible for some James Bond villain to introduce smallpox (~30% fatality) so people mistake it for monkeypox?
