Monkeypox: Do we need to be worried about it? BBC Africa

Crazy how people only started growing concern about it because it spread outside of Africa🙂

" the risk to the wider public is very low" i've heard that before

If the transmission between humans is so low, how the hell did we get cases in 12 different countries within a week all of a sudden?

even when first cases are discovered in America with patients with patients with no travel history, they would still look for a way to link it to Africa. that's the media we have

What I hate is the association of images of Africans associated with the outbreak when our nation had nothing to do with this recent outbreak.

They doing this to the world this stuff not just randomly happening

If this is still the tradiitonal Monkey Pox virus it's not really something to be greatly concerned about, if however it's been tweaked in a lab to have it's transmisison and severity aspects changed in the same way covid was then that's a completely different story.

Where these diseases get their names is interesting

Hope it doesn't spread like the Covid-19, wish everyone a healthy and stay safe.

why is her voice so mesmerising lol its so nice to hear

"Found monkeys kept for research purposes". I am sure the others were also found in such monkeys. And I wonder what the "research" was aimed at.

the next big lie

The NHS just edited their Monkeypox page…to make it scarier few days ago the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) edited their Monkeypox page to alter the narrative in a few key ways. Firstly, they removed a paragraph from the “How do you get Monkeypox?”section. Up until a few days ago, according to archived links, the Monkeypox page said this, regarding person-to-person tranmission [emphasis added]: It’s very uncommon to get monkeypox from a person with the infection because it does not spread easily between people. …this has now been totally removed. Secondly, they’ve removed this paragraph, which was present up until at least November of 2021 (and maybe much more recently, there are no archives between November and May) [emphasis added]: Monkeypox] is usually a mild illness that will get better on its own without treatment. Some people can develop more serious symptoms, so patients with monkeypox in the UK are cared for in specialist hospitals. The new “treatment” paragraph reads [again, emphasis added]… Treatment for monkeypox aims to relieve symptoms. The illness is usually mild and most people recover in 2 to 4 weeks […] You may need to stay in a specialist hospital, so your symptoms can be treated and to prevent the infection spreading to other people. So, they remove that it will “get better on its own”, and again reinforce the idea of spreading the disease despite this being described as “very uncommon” as recently as last week. They even add a line about self-isolating, which was never mentioned before: as monkeypox can spread if there is close contact, you will need to be isolated if you’re diagnosed with it. Finally, they now include a warning you can get Monkeypox by eating undercooked meat, which will doubtless feed into the anti-meat narrative too (oh, wait, it already is). To sum up, history is being re-written a little here. Before, monkeypox “did not spread easily between people”. Now it does. Before, monkeypox would “get better on its own without treatment”. Now it won’t. It’s early days to say that Monkeypox is going to be the “new Covid”, and maybe this rollout will stall and be forgotten in a couple of weeks, but there’s no doubt they are taking some tips from the Covid playbook so far.

Bruh, I love her voice.

Your way of explaining is very clear. Why you don't open your own channel .

If the media says you should be worried you should ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!! worry about anything, OTHERWISE you should worry.

Past 2002 : Sars 1 2003 : monkeypox Now 2019 : Sars 2 2022 : monkeypox

I was looking for new information considering it's now spread to 100 people in Europe, not historical information...

Thank you for this video. You've explained it so well. Just one question please..Will the monkeypox rash leave scars to your skin?

Anytime you hear the phrase “experts believe”……. Run
