Europe has only one case of mpox. It is in Sweden. The man came from Africa and is doing well.
For those who are now in fear again, an excerpt of a German article by a physician and biochemist:
"Monkeypox has a low infectivity; unlike cold viruses (such as SARS-CoV-2) and flu viruses (influenza viruses), it cannot be transmitted by droplet infection.
Monkeys as the source of the pathogen only live close enough to humans in very few areas of the world to allow regular transmission. Humans practically only infect each other through anal intercourse in the highly symptomatic stage - as with the HI virus, which only occurs in heterosexuals through intravenous drug use or blood transfusion, but is not transmitted during ******l intercourse. Among monkeypox patients with known HIV status, 38 percent are HIV-positive. No wonder, since it is the same patient population.
Around 600,000 people died from malaria (Plasmodium falciparum and other pathogenic plasmodia) in 2022, and up to one million people died from Hong Kong influenza in 1969 (the last truly significant global viral epidemic). But malaria and tropical diseases are not being dealt with because there is no money to be made on the “lost continent” (as pharmaceutical managers call Africa). "
