I would give it a 2/10.
The World Health Organization (WHO) announced on 14 August that it is declaring mpox a ‘public health emergency of international concern’ — just 15 months after the end of the WHO’s previous mpox emergency. The declaration asks the world's countries to work together and to provide resources to improve surveillance, treat those who are infected and stop the outbreak.
The previous outbreak was clade II, considered less dangerous. This new outbreak is clade I, considered more dangerous and is estimated to have emerged around mid-September 2023. There are indications this strain is transmitted through sex, and there is increasing evidence of mpox-HIV co-infection.
There have been hundreds of identified cases in Africa, and these are thought to be the tip of the iceberg. In recent days cases have been identified in Sweden and Pakistan.
Current antiviral options include tecovirimat, cidofovir and birincidofovir all of which have been recommended relying on experience from animal studies, clinical case reports or case series. Results of well-planned randomized control trials are not available.

I saw a meme where a scientist said he was fighting racism by changing the name, and a Black guy asked "So you think we're monkeys?"
Sierra Leone declares emergency over mpox outbreak
Sierra Leone has declared a public health emergency after two cases of mpox were reported.
The West African country’s health minister announced the move on Monday after the second case of the deadly viral disease was confirmed.
“The confirmation of two cases of mpox in the country has prompted immediate action as mandated by the Public Health Act,” Health Minister Austin Demby told reporters in the capital, Freetown. “On behalf of the government of Sierra Leone, I am declaring a public health emergency.”
Last week, Sierra Leone reported its first confirmed case of mpox since the African Union’s health watchdog declared a public health emergency over the growing mpox outbreak on the continent last year.
A second case was confirmed after a 21-year-old man showed symptoms on January 6, the National Public Health Agency said on social media.
Neither case had known recent contact with infected animals or other sick individuals, the Ministry of Health and Sanitation said.
Only the first case involved recent travel, limited to the airport town of Lungi in the northern Port Loko District between December 26 and January 6. Both patients are receiving treatment at a hospital in Freetown.
Some intracellular Orthopoxvirus monkeypox particles (the virus is still called that)
