How concerned should you be about the mpox outbreak?

- Mpox is rapidly spreading in parts of Central and East Africa, with the World Health Organization declaring a global public health emergency earlier this month. Outside Africa, the first case of infection with a new strain of the infectious disease was confirmed in Sweden last week. Asia is on high alert after the Philippines reported its first case of the year on Monday (Aug 19).
CNA’s Asia First speaks to Dr Amesh Adalja, senior scholar at the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, to find out how concerning the latest outbreak is. He also gives his thoughts on how effective current vaccines are against the Clade 1 and 2 mpox strains.

YOU SHOULD ONLY BE CONCERNED ABOUT LOSING YOUR FREEDOM.
Not again bro, im sick of these stupid infections and viruses
😂
Not concerned we are sick of this constant attack on the people that just want to live their life. People are awake to this.
I mean.. dude, even if it's whatever you're thing. be concerned, this could actually affect people, don't hear what I'm not saying ok?
I'm not saying, "Be afraid", but prepared.. don't give into the fear mongering and fake news.
What life is that? Most peoples lifestyles have no purpose. Go back and stay in your room

Let me guess, the answer is going to be vaccination vaccination vaccination
Dont fall for this
USA Pharma sales dipped?
U got it right . Usa is becoming a huge problem to the world peace/health and what not
They really think we’re dumb
They do, but wym?
We are.
We are...
You are seriously most comments think viruses can't mutate
Who’s letting these viruses out
0 concern as it is transmitted by close bodily contact.
Per CDC, it can also be spread by an infected person touching an object, surface, items. From there, if the objects are not disinfected such as fabrics, anybody can get infected by touching the same contaminated object. This clade is deadlier than the previous one, let us not be complacent
Alright but if one person who has Mpox touches something and then I touch it quickly by accident, would i get it?
@@DuolingoIsOutsideMyWindowhigh chance
@@DuolingoIsOutsideMyWindowmost likely yes
@@DuolingoIsOutsideMyWindow yes, just like staphylococcus/ staph infection
During the 2022 outbreak, HIV-negative gay and bisexual men who had little experience with stigmatising illnesses found their mpox diagnosis to be particularly traumatic and a personally threatening experience. They often required additional support beyond what was available. However, men living with HIV seemed to handle the stigma better, drawing on resilience from past experiences with HIV.
Mpox was associated with significant feelings of stigma, particularly due to homophobic narratives that linked promiscuity with illness and disease. Some men were also discriminated against by sexual contacts, online, and in healthcare settings. All men who had contact with non-specialist hospital services (such as Accident and Emergency) after receiving an mpox diagnosis reported some degree of enacted stigma from staff, usually related to infection control measures.
I am not surprised to hear that. The level of stigma and hostility directed at gay men on CZcams is shocking. There is unconscious bias in the way the reporting and language used in the media too, with gay men routinely described as 'spreading' the disease, while straight people are described as 'suffering' from it. There is also a narrative around children’s infection that again wrongly targets gay men for blame and stigma. It is unsettling just to see it, let alone.one to experience this first hand, it would be traumatic.
Yes, agreed. It has not been widely reported that over half of hospitalised cases in the Congo in this recent clade 1b outbreak are women. Reporting has elided this outbreak with the different clade 2 outbreak in 2022 so the general misimpression given is that this is mainly a MSM STD. Then some mistakenly or maliciously link that to the sad fact that under 15s have been most affected in this outbreak, which has been through family or community transmission in overcrowded conditions - rather than what some assume it to be.
🙏When you're on the road, try to bring some disinfectant sanitizers. Personal hygiene can boost your immunity. Try to sanitize your hands when you cannot wash them. Try to disinfect your WC toilet seats before use. Popular options include sanitizer sprays, disinfectant sprays, and handwashing liquids. ECOSAM sponsors our National Day Parade 2024. Thank you all, and take care.🙏
Thank you.
*_"Personal hygiene can boost your immunity"_* engaging yourself in physical exercise builds muscle and being sedentary ruins your musculature similarly exposure to your environment including bacteria & virus exercises your innate & adaptive immunity and will boost your immunity. It's not always favorable to have a highly sanitized environment.

Essentials.
Safety first.
Remember safe and effective was not safe and effective. Do not comply.
New pandemic? Let us isolate e we need it
Thank you CNA for covering this consistently! Its amazing how the world just lets another possible pandemic develop, just after getting out an almost apocalyptical one!
Ha! The world just "lets"? If by "the world", you mean the main shot-callers who for years have meticulously planned this in its entirety, just the same as they did the previous one, then I laugh at that.
More nonsense.
Any chance to lockdown globally
Since Singapore is famous in shipping health enforcement should check the marine crew on the ships at the anchorage before they come ashore.
Any cases straight to isolation in hospital wards. It's not enough to remain on the ships.
As we are hygienic concerned, we shall treat every and any disease or sickness outbreak precautions just like we did during our fights with SARS in 2003 and COVID19. This is to protect ourselves from having infected 🎉
As people are still gathering, don't forget it's always a matter of time before the next biggest spike in cases, and it's likely those people last gathering of their lives.
Not worried
There's no reason for people not to gather over mpox thats such an overreaction at this moment.
lockdown again😂
This year really is the worst year to be a kid
Very concerned if it spreads from Singapore to other S.E. Asian countries because many tourists visit Singapore and they can bring it in and take it out to neighbouring countries. .
Will we block African entry
Ofcourse
😅😅😅 hilarious
yup we are cooked look how fast its spreading already
It really isn't spreading that fast compared to COVID which actually caused a pandemic, also mpox spreading the way it is in the DRC and Africa isn't indicative to how it would spread or act in more developed countries. In the DRC people are often forced to live in extremely close quarters for a number of reasons. We are far from cooked this isn't some entirely new airborne disease like COVID was in 2020 that spreads at an unbelievable rate. We know how mpox spreads, we know what it looks like, healthcare workers know how to treat it, we have vaccines available. Like 2022's mpox outbreak this isn't good certainly but the odds of this turning into a pandemic are quite low with all the tools the world already has to fight mpox. COVID gave us all ptsd so it's understandable why a lot of people are having this reaction.
Time to lock myself up in my room 🔐
It has entered Philipines.
Update : Thailand too
Luckily, the Filipino patient is currently recovering in a hospital & confirmed old strain (clade 2b).
Thailand on the other hand has a case of mpox clade 1b, this is bad. Considering the tourism in Thailand and how mpox is transmitted
@@iPhoneUser2024
update:
Taiwan
update
Taiwan and Portugal
Singapore now has 13 cases of mpox clade 2 infections. Ref reuters
A recent study found that men diagnosed with mpox, clinicians and community stakeholders believe that the government's perceived inaction towards the illness was due to its association with stigmatised sexual minorities. This systemic failure was often compared to the initial response to the AIDS crisis.
Very regrettable but unsurprising unfortunately. You just have to see the level of hostility on CZcams and the misreporting in the media, the inconscious bias and the language used. .
Hopefully can reduced Daily
Dont be concerned at all . the people that made millions out of the last lie were rubbing their hands with millions of dollars and pounds while you sat at home hiding , and rubbing your hands on antibacterial poison😂. Wakeup people.
Lockdown or no?
I mean never say never but with the way mpox spreads and with a vaccine available already that seems extremely remote. Something would have to go very wrong.
@@SCBlueDevilcan I expect delays or not
i love lockdown, it was so peaceful for the 2 months😂
@@Tony.L9793 same but i doubt it will happen... they already got vaccines and mpox isn't something new so yeah
You mean like a new strain? Maybe one more deadly and that may spread more easily? 1B is this new strain look it up and see what you think.
Here we go again. 1st M vaccination
😂 jog on
noo bro this is my junior year istg
Hahahahaha. More lies. Ignore the media, ignore the governments and certainly ignore any offerings from big farma.
in OYK's words, very worrying. Singaporeans to panic and stock up on daily necessities now. Make your home into a tiny supermarket.
Surely not to that extent. Yikes
I’ve noticed a big difference in the language used when the same disease affects homosexuals vs. heterosexuals. Gays are described as 'spreading' while straights are 'suffering' the disease. Reports focus on gay sexual behaviour in an overtly judgmental way and often the infection is called 'homosexually transmitted'. But you never hear of 'heterosexual transmission'. For example chlamydia is an STI with high rates among young heterosexuals but it is never described as 'heterosexually transmitted'. Because that would imply that heterosexuality itself was a disease vector, which is precisely how homosexuality is still viewed and presented. It may no longer be classified as a disease but in the straight mind, homosexuality is still quite possibly ‘infectious’.
A matter of time before it comes here so yes
WHO 💩😂🤦🤦🏾♂️🙀
Put the DRC under lock down ban all travelling
Agreed! This would be helpful.
🐑
Previous steps should be followed and double vaksination
I first heard about MP around 2 years ago and I now know since then it has spread far outside of Africa. Why do I say this? Because on Saturday, August 24th I witnessed a lady's body infested with it here in my hometown. Every part of her that wasn't covered by the shorts and blouse was full of pimple, blister like welts. So yes it's here in the states!!!
So MPox have passport papers now, Africa to the Philippians to a guy who never traveled there, hmmm 🤔
Clade 2b has been circulating around the world for a while, though it’s a milder strain and the older strain (2022-2023).
If You’re gay You should be concerned
I guess that prolly depends on how much it was hoped up before release, accidental or otherwise ..
Singaporeans to be blamed again?safe entry etc?
Surprisingly majority people said the people are the every day opposition people themselves.
Man, I miss Steve Lai. Congrats to him on the move.
Not again

I’m not concerned at all because I do not put my beautiful skin next to weirdos randoms or strangers… I’m a true germaphobic individual…. it paid itself off during the COVID era.. and it’ll do the same with this Mpox nastiness… I’ve been telling anybody and every body that skin to skin contact is a dangerous thing not just in a sexual sense but in all senses..
I keep myself to myself and I’m glad I do…
With freedom of movement by people across the globe… from all sides of the world to settle wherever they want to call home comes a host of different diseases and illnesses
so one must be aware of this eventuality and act accordingly…
No one can keep you safe but you…
That’s it in a nutshell…

Oh look the conspiracy theories are already popping up
Calm down breath and think
That is exactly what conspiracy theorists do. Breathe, Think, Research.
I personally don't typically hang around sick people or people with disgusting rashes on them so Im not very worried
no but they go into stores and touch everything
0:01 I heard this as " Democratic Republic of Hong Kong " 😅
Our country, New Zealand, has had mpox for 2 years ago, and we haven't gone to lockdown yet. lol, this virus sucks lol
Zero
Here we go again 😂
What's important lucky I didn't had any brand of the jab before and that's why never sick before, as majority people said after they took the jabs previously but nowadays they only became more and more easily to fall sick, it's the pap party mistakes and there's no way to u-turn back.
trace together will be back to haunt us again😂
Another propaganda!
Who be the Pm also no use, majority people said they choose the pap party but only getting more and more sufferings and problems from the pap party always of course.
1/32 chance of death from having mpox
😂
People who Are Single and Virgin 😂
What's important singapore became a multi-nation country, multi-nation-singapore so even with the saf soldiers also no use, it's the pap party mistakes and there's no way to u-turn back.
Well not as bad as HIV
