Monkeypox just give you unsightly lesion that goes with the virus. Doesn't say whether it scars like smallpox though. But it is most times not fatal and not spread by respiratory means, so no need panic button yet. Now the spread in Europe is mainly hitting MSM (gay dudes) community, but no reason why it cannot spread equally well through hetero activity too.

Can they give it a code instead of calling it monkey, chicken? Hahaha

Key Points

Belgium has introduced a mandatory 21-day quarantine for monkeypox patients as cases spread globally.

The U.K. has also urged close contacts of monkeypox patients to self-isolate to stem a recent mysterious outbreak of the disease, which is typically endemic to Africa.

The WHO has so far confirmed 92 cases of the disease in 12 countries, with a further 28 suspected cases under review.

Monkeypox cases could be 'peak of iceberg': WHO
https://www.straitstimes.com/world/europe/monkeypox-cases-could-be-peak-of-iceberg-who

“The World Health Organisation (WHO) cautioned on Friday (May 27) that some 200 monkeypox cases found in recent weeks outside of countries where the virus usually circulates could be just the beginning.

"We don't know if we are just seeing the peak of the iceberg," Dr Sylvie Briand, WHO's epidemic and pandemic preparedness and prevention chief, acknowledged in a briefing to countries on the "unusual" spread of the virus.“

Hopefully just a caution ONLY.
