Monkeypox has infected about 16,000 people in over 70 countries in just a few months. According to infectious disease experts as quoted by Bloomberg, getting out in front of this virus is an achievable goal.

However, the lack of coordination in treatment in parts of the world has prompted WHO to sound the alarm. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General on Saturday declared the outbreak of monkeypox a public health emergency of international concern. “This outbreak can be stopped with the help of right strategies in the right groups," Tedros stated.

He also suggested that the scientists should focus on the basic detective work of decoding the reason behind rapid increase in monkeypox cases and why it has spread so quickly.

Monkeypox disease, which has been around for decades, was first reported in human beings in West Africa in 1970. It has been contained largely to two countries in Africa since then.

The poll, conducted online, samples more than 2,200 members of the Angus Reid Forum.Four out of five respondents said they’re cutting back on discretionary spending, putting off major purchases, scaling back travel, driving less or deferring saving in recent months.
