(CNN)Out of tens of thousands of monkeypox cases around the world this year, there have been a dozen deaths linked to the virus, and for the first time, some of them have been outside Africa, in countries where the virus doesn't usually spread. More than 31,000 cases of monkeypox have been reported globally since January 1, more than 10,000 of them in the United States. Most people have recovered at home with no lasting problems. But doctors are working to understand why monkeypox can be serious and, rarely, fatal. According to the latest numbers from the World Health Organization, there have been two monkeypox deaths in Spain, one in Brazil, one in Ecuador and one in India -- all so-called nonendemic countries. So far, none of these deaths hae been in the US.
In a recent Q&A on social media, Dr. Rosamund Lewis, technical lead on the monkeypox response for WHO, says the lack of clear understanding around disease severity is one reason why infectious diseases are so challenging.
"When people are exposed to infectious agents, they respond in different ways," she said. Some won't develop any symptoms or only mild problems like a low-grade fever. They get better and move on with their lives. Others, though, go on to develop very serious complications. "We're seeing that now," she said.
Lewis says WHO has asked every country for more information on the circumstances surrounding any monkeypox deaths.

I believe the worst cases begin after two fellas go into a Target restroom. Hope that helps the experts.
You had monkeypox and buggered me without telling me?
Results in death...
They use the word”rare” and my first thought is “probably not so rare”.
Somehow I suspect there may have been none at all. But come up with thousands of diagnoses from the already immunocompromised and then fully jabbed, living a high-risk lifestyle, and you’re likely to come up with a handful of deaths that can be “linked” to the diagnoses.
Maybe it’s not really monkeypox.
Wonder how many if the dead were CoupFlu vaxxed...
If only there were a way to drastically reduce your chances of catching it.
Stay away from public sex venues in TX - “Fall festivals are just around the corner. Austin Public Health recommends decreasing the number of sex and intimate contact partners, not going to places like public sex venues, avoid raves, parties or clubs where people wear minimal clothing.”
Austin needs to be walled off and shipped off to CA.
That is true for EVERY illness, and now they are freaking out over monkeypox?
It would serve mankind better if they raced to find away to reduce deaths from medical mistakes and negligence.
Probably those with weakened immune systems due to aids and the drugs used to treat it.
I’ve pretty much had it up to here with “experts”.
If there are many cases every malady leads to death for a tiny or a larger number of the afflicted. Much depends on what other maladies one has.
The Democrats put the kibosh on a program to place desalinization plants along the coast of California.
I suspect that monkey pox was supposed to be much more serious than it turned out to be. Moneypox virus is another subject of tinkering at Wu Han.
Pennsylvania and Wisconsin will get locked down. The Democrats don’t want to take any chances with the vote in those states and some others.
We are experiencing a deadly mRNA pandemic.
I expect that plague. This election will be stolen for a Democrat Sweep perhaps all the way down the ballot.
I agree with you.
Haha I was wondering if anyone would get it!
