Cause for Celebration

This week saw the spectacular, once in a generation coronation of King Charles III in London. Wet weather could not deter the British Spirit, with over 4,000 troops in the streets on parade hundreds of thousands lining the streets and over 20 million people tuning in to watch live from around the world. Ukraine is still in the depths of war, facing tough Russian opposition, and Monkeypox cases continue to rise in Africa, although the WHO says it is ‘confident’ this is not a serious issue.

Monkeypox cases continue to rise in Europe and North America

The number of monkeypox cases continues to rise in Europe and North America, with the World Health Organization (WHO) reporting over 1,000 cases so far. The WHO has said that the outbreak is "unusual" and that it is investigating the cause of the spread.

The number of monkeypox cases continues to rise in Europe and North America, with more than 200 confirmed or suspected cases reported so far. The outbreak is unusual, as monkeypox is not typically seen outside of Africa.

The World Health Organization (WHO) is investigating the cause of the outbreak, but it is believed to be linked to sexual activity at recent raves in Europe. The virus is spread through close contact, including sexual contact.

Most cases of monkeypox are mild and self-limiting, with symptoms lasting for 2-4 weeks. However, the virus can be more serious in some people, especially young children and people with weakened immune systems.

There is no specific treatment for monkeypox, but it can be prevented with smallpox vaccine. The WHO is working to ensure that countries with monkeypox cases have access to smallpox vaccine.

Health officials are urging people to be aware of the symptoms of monkeypox, which include fever, headache, muscle aches, backache, swollen lymph nodes, chills, exhaustion, and a rash. If you have any of these symptoms, you should see a doctor right away.

The WHO is also urging people to take steps to protect themselves from monkeypox, including:

  • Avoiding close contact with people who are sick
  • Avoiding contact with animals that may be infected with monkeypox, such as rodents and primates
  • Washing your hands frequently
  • Covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze

The WHO is confident that the outbreak can be contained, however it stressed the importance to be aware of the risks and take steps to protect yourself from the spread.
