episode 833: Why You Don’t Need To Panic About Monkeypox
It's fair to say there's been a lot of panic about the new spread of Monkeypox in Europe, North America and now Australia, but as we're still dealing with Covid-19 it's understandable as no-one wants to live through another pandemic.
You might be particularly concerned because it seems very hard to pin down accurate information about why Monkeypox is suddenly being transmitted around the world, and what it actually is or does to our health?
That is why in this episode The Quicky speaks to an expert in infectious diseases to break down what exactly this disease is, and why we need to be informed, but not alarmed.
