Title: Monkey Pox in North Wales.
Post by: Helig on June 11, 2021, 03:50:14 pm

There was a report in today's paper of a few cases of Monkey Pox in North Wales. This is now on the BBC website:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-57431322 (https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-57431322)

It says it is similar to Smallpox but not as serious.

It is something else to worry about apart from Covid 19.

These things sound, from what I read, to be coming from abroad.

Western Africa seems to be the origin.
