Kills 4 out of every 100 that it infects. The WHO is concerned about a new strain but it looks like there is a vaccine available though the Beeb doesnt give any details.

In other news, Martians are planning to be invading next Monday which is bloody bad luck for them really, given their legendary weakness to such things as publicised by Tom Cruise in that documentary he made.

Monkeypox renamed, in case anyone’s wondering what is this new devil plague.

This reads like I probably don’t need to worry https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/mpox/
