UPDATE - 200 people in 27 states in the US are being monitored for symptoms of Monkeypox after an infected person traveled earlier this month from Nigeria to Dallas, according to the CDC (NY Post)
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?
