Monkeypox has been declared a public health emergency in Africa.

The Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention declared this week that the increasing spread of mpox across the continent is a health emergency, warning the virus might ultimately spill across international borders.

On Wednesday, the World Health Organization is convening its own expert meeting to consider making a similar emergency declaration over mpox. The U.N. health agency said there have been more than 14,000 cases and 524 deaths this year, which already exceed last year’s figures.

So far, more than 96% of all cases and deaths are in a single country --- Congo

Maybe this is why POTUS keeps telling us the illegal immigrants are coming from Congo during rallys. Trying to give us a heads up in the next pandemic?
