With a dramatic jump in cases — and a strain of mpox that is deadlier than the virus that went global in 2022 — specialists are scrambling to reign it in.
Ich dachte mir gerade, jetzt da wieder mal fast alle Corona (oder "das ist nur ne Erkältung also teste ich mich nicht-Corona!") durch haben, und nun die Grippe langsam das Ruder in die Hand nimmt, könnte ich ja mal schauen, was die #mpox so machen.

Great work on #mpox#virus ( #MonkeyPox) from Lisa Bauer, Debby van Riel, & Oliver Harschnitz:
