Pakistan health officials announced on Friday (Aug 16) their first case of the deadly mpox virus this year, after the World Health Organisation (WHO) declared an international emergency over its spread.
"The affected person has come from a Gulf country," a Ministry of Health statement said, adding the strain was yet to be confirmed. Sweden's Public Health Agency said on Thursday that it had registered a case of the Clade 1b subclade, the first to be diagnosed out of Africa.
The WHO this week declared the rapid spread of the new Clade 1b strain in Africa a public health emergency of international concern - the highest alarm it can sound.

Can we pledge not to post any articles about this, if everyone ignores it maybe it will go away.
If those in Pakistan had found that the guy was gay before dying of Monkey Pox, wouldn’t they have just thrown him off a five story roof?
At an average of 400,000 per home, that would mean $`.1 trillion. Where is the money coming from?
Then, she promises o give new home purchases some $25,000 each, and if 3 million want that freebie, it would mean another $75 billion in giveaways.
And we all know that when government gets involved in industry, the costs will be many times the original estimate. so, we can expect some #10 trillion in new spending in 4 years.
It’s easy to promise the impossible to the uneducated and the ignorant and the people looking for freebies or handouts. Promise them anything, but end up giving them the finger. But, as long as those low-information/low-education voters vote her in, she won’t care about fulfilling the promises. It’s about duping the voters.
not Gpox?
Goatpox.
Wrong lane.
And we know how monkey pox is transmitted.
Pakistanis goats beware!
Like last time they’ll stop talking about it when they start to get reports of mpox in chidren and dogs.
the only thing this will do is increase the prices of housing.
remember what tuition rates were before the govt subsidized “fog this mirror for approval” student loans?
or before you could discharge them in bankruptcy ?
strange, was skimming comments and replied to one that made sense, but it had anything to do with mpox or the article, unless you consider the education system today as an incubator
I got you into the wrong lane too.
Deadly right. It has a .04 percent death rate. And it is entirely possible to avoid it...don’t have physical contact with someone with open sores. I’ll bet this turns into more of a gay disease.
Stop having sex with people who get Monkeypox, and it solves itself.
What makes having sex with that person so imperative? Maybe you should get Monkeypox, idiot.
Wow, that was a completely wrong thesis.
Prediction:
In just a matter of weeks the virus will have ‘mutated’ to one which is easily communicable, perhaps even airborne.
I’m sure some nih-funded tallywackers are hard at work on it.
I only have one observation and I’m not sure if it applies to this monkey pox BS scare. About 15 years ago I had a severe case of shingles on the right side of my face. Now I do not know exactly how MP operates, but I surmise it is a virus that is sort of like chicken pox affecting the nerves and presenting with blisters or pox on the skin. The point I want to make is that with shingles my facial nerves were like they were on fire and the pain was severe. I couldn’t bear to have anything touch my right check, even wind blowing on my check caused severe pain. Viruses that affect nerves are SOBs and awfully painful. I only had shingles on my right check and I can’t even imagine what it would be like to have the same pain all over my body. My hopeful thought is that having had shingles and have gotten the two shot herpes zoster shot and those who have gotten the more recent chicken pox shot may have some immune resistance to this scourge. Let’s hope so anyway and let’s hope it will just be another uneventful BS scare.
