So, Have You Heard About Monkeypox?

>The current outbreaks in Europe and the U.S. are different and very concerning.

This is an understatement. Since the virus was first discovered in humans in 1970 there have been ~1500 documented cases, almost all in sub-Saharan Africa. Since this outbreak started with a single case in the UK back on May 7, there are now 70+ cases in Europe (mostly UK and Portugal, but also Spain, Sweden, Italy, and Belgium), a cluster of at least 17 cases in Canada (Montreal), a case in Australia, and 2 cases in the US (MA and NY). It's been less than 2 weeks since that first case and we know that the typical incubation period for monkeypox is 7-14 days.
