While the outbreak is attracting headlines, there is little threat of a massive global pandemic – and no comparison to COVID-19.
There are important differences that make Mpox a much less serious threat than COVID-19:
These include:
- Mpox does not spread easily.
- Infected people are easier to identify.
- Outbreaks are easier to contain.
- There are two vaccines that are effective against Mpox.
Unlike COVID-19, this virus doesn’t transmit human to human very efficiently and It’s also much easier prevent the spread and isolate infected individuals
