"A NEW deadlier mpox strain is spreading in Africa and poses a "global threat", health officials have warned.

A surge in cases in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) “raises concerns” that the virus could jump to other countries.

The clade I strain detected in the DRC causes more severe illness and deaths than the clade II virus that triggered a global outbreak in 2022.

Since 2023, the DRC has recorded an “unprecedented number” of suspected Clade I virus cases, according to a new report by the US Centers for Disease Control (CDC).

It found that there were 19,919 cases of clade I mpox reported between January 1, 2023, and April 14, 2024, along with 975 deaths.

CDC officials branded it DRC's "largest surge of mpox cases ever recorded"."

I think Im right in saying that this is NOT an airborne disease like covid. It only spreads through close contact so its unlikely to cause a pandemic

Still a worrying disease though with such a high mortality rate (10%).

Keep your distance, wash your hands regularly and eat healthy, these things have always been good daily practice.

If I was president I will ban all flights form Africa stop the virus coming to our country.

Minor issue people travel all over the world, so a person infected with mpox goes to another country and comes in form there is not going to prevent the spread of the virus.
