This week from South Korea, President Joe Biden spoke about monkeypox and warned that it is “something that everyone should be concerned about.” The first cases detected in the United States were recorded in Massachusetts.

Despite the president’s warnings, the White House insists it has a vaccine to treat those affected by the outbreak that is starting to strengthen in Europe and North America.

This is what he said. “They haven’t told me the level of exposure yet, but it’s something everyone should be concerned about,” said Asia’s Biden. “We are working hard to find out what we are doing and what vaccines, if any, may be available.”

• “But it is worrying in the sense that if it spreads, it will have consequences. That’s all I was told,” he added.
• White House national security adviser Jake Sullivan later said the country had a vaccine “relevant to treating monkeypox.”

what you should know. WHO shows that monkeypox mortality rates range from 1% to 10%. According to these data, the pathogen does not kill more than one in 10 people. Swollen lymph nodes, before causing a chickenpox-like rash on the body, is one of the symptoms. Also fever and muscle aches, which are symptoms that resolve within two or three weeks.

• Currently the disease has been detected in several countries such as the United States, Canada, England, Portugal, Spain, Italy and Belgium. And this Friday two cases have been confirmed, one in Germany and the other in France.
• Now the authorities of each country are copying the same from other countries, by identifying their contacts to guide them on how to act to prevent the spread of the virus and reach a larger scale.
