by Hello, welcome to TopNewsWorld, Now, the problem of conflict is prevailing in the world today. There is the issue of Israel, Iran, Ukraine, Russia. On top of that, many countries of the world are heading towards recession.
Thank you for reading this post, don't forget to subscribe!Meanwhile, a problem that we did not need was another global health emergency. Dr. Tedros recently came out with bad news and told the whole world that M-Pox (Monkey Pox) has spread to 116 countries and now it has become a global health emergency.
Here you will be able to see the head of the WHO World Health Organization, Dr. Tedros. I will show you his video now. His director has openly said that M-Pox outbreak in Africa is a global health emergency. Cases of M-Pox have come in India as well, in many countries and the need is that countries around the world work together so that this does not become a global pandemic. Now, first of all, our favourite Dr. Tedros, who successfully brought the world out of the Covid-19 pandemic, is a joke.
Monkeypox Spreads to 116 Countries Affected…
I am showing you a little bit of his speech of few seconds through which you will be able to understand the seriousness of the situation – the detection and rapid spread of a new cluster of m-pox in Eastern DRC, it has been detected in neighbouring countries that had not previously reported m-pox and the potential for further spread within Africa and beyond is very worrying in addition to other outbreaks of other clusters of m-pox in other parts of Africa, it is clear that coordinated international response is essential to stop these outbreaks and save lives
So as you have heard Dr. Tedros has said that a global response is needed if we have to deal with the outbreak of m-pox, now once someone here can ask the question that WHO has declared that m-pox is a global health emergency, but monkeypox is a very old disease and vaccines for it are also available, so suddenly What’s new?
Look, scientists first discovered monkeypox in the Democratic Republic of Congo, which is today’s country. In 1958, this disease was initially discovered in monkeys.
Later, it was discovered that it is a zoonotic disease, meaning that this disease can spread from an animal to a human being. And then recently, we saw for the first time that monkeypox can also spread from one human being to another. This is a very painful disease. Pimples or blisters form all over the body. Obviously, they cause pain. Apart from that, the patient may get fever and in some cases, in some rare cases, monkeypox can also be fatal. And if your question here is what is the fatality rate of monkeypox?
I mean, if we assume that 100 people get this disease, then how many people out of 100 can usually die. So, its fatality rate is very high. It is not less but it is not too much either. It happens to three to four people.
So if 100 people get this disease, then three to four people can die. You can imagine if a disease spreads on a large scale, millions or even billions, then how many deaths can happen on a large scale.
That is why WHO is already concerned. Now here you will ask that if monkeypox was discovered in 1958 and its vaccines are available, then why is there a new panic all of a sudden?
See, the reason for the new panic is that a new strain of monkeypox or the way Tedros was saying, a new type of strain has emerged and this strain spreads faster and it is also deadly. And here you will be able to see that it is written here that a new strain spreads in Africa. You will also see this on Euro News.
Now look, many people are asking this question here that these new strains are new diseases. They spread only when the US election comes near. But we have to take seriously what the WHO is saying here because there have already been more than 1600 such cases in the USA and the main country from where the disease has spread all over the world is the Democratic Republic of Congo, there have already been 14000 cases and out of these 14000 cases, 524 have died. See, monkeypox can kill people and therefore I will not be surprised if the disease continues to spread in this way, this new strain of monkeypox spreads.
The WHO should also ask countries to take some strict measures that at the airports you will have to ensure that whoever is coming to your country, test them to see if he is monkeypox positive or not because look, there is also a problem with this new strain, usually when the old strain of monkeypox affected a person.
The first effect that was visible was that blisters would start appearing on the hands and arms, but in this case This new strain targets a person’s private parts and for a long time no one gets to know whether he has monkey pox or not and the need is that countries take this outbreak very seriously, before this you will remember that in 2022 also there was talk of monkey pox epidemic that monkey pox is spreading a lot and at that time predominately the people of the LGBTQ community who are gay bisexual people, this disease had spread a lot among them because it was actually told that a party was held in Africa, there were some people who had monkey pox.
They transmitted this disease to other people and in that way the disease later spread in many places in Europe and the US and yes, if you see, monkeypox usually spreads through very close contact. I am not talking about the new strain of traditional monkeypox. Proper information related to how the new strain spreads and how fast it spreads is not yet available. But whatever you say, the variant of monkeypox, about which we know traditionally, it usually spreads through close contact, that is skin to skin contact for a very long time or sexual intercourse is taking place, in that case monkeypox can definitely spread.
So this case came to light in 2022 and this global emergency was closed in 2023, but now this new strain that has come is genuinely a cause of concern because again it is very difficult to detect it and if you look in the US, the US aid has already decided to support the WHO and is saying this.
Whatever resources are needed to deal with this emergency, they are ready to help here. So, in the times to come, we will actually get to know how fast this new strain spreads and its fatality rate.
