LONDON (AP) — The World Health Organization convenes its emergency committee Thursday to consider if the spiraling outbreak of monkeypox warrants being declared a global emergency. But some experts say the WHO’s decision to act only after the disease spilled into the West could entrench the grotesque inequities that arose between rich and poor countries during the coronavirus pandemic.
“The case fatality rate in these four African countries combined is 4.4%”
iirc og covid is 0.75% globally. Probably like 1% or so no treatment.
so afaik, monkeypox is 4.4x deadlier than og covid no treatment for both.
