The Conversation: The WHO has declared Mpox a ‘public health emergency of international concern.’ Is it time to worry?

Dr. Kiffer Card wrote an article for The Conversation: The WHO has declared Mpox a ‘public health emergency of international concern.’ Is it time to worry?

"Naturally, in the wake of COVID-19, this has many people worried we’re about to relive the collective trauma of lockdowns and fears of acquiring a potentially deadly virus. As an epidemiologist who studies the intersection of infectious diseases and social life, I share these concerns, but, at this point, I believe the WHO’s announcement should raise caution, not cause panic."
