I see that the UK has stretched its lead at the top of the Monkeypox league over the past week. https://www.monkeypoxmeter.com/#countrylist
Though there's plenty of info out there re cases, there's very little to be found re deaths. Does anyone actually snuff it from Monkeypox?
As well as heading the 195-strong countries globally in Monkeypox cases, it seems Blighty is at number one for BA.4 and BA.5 of the Covid-19 Omicron variant cases.
Covid infections are rising again across the UK, the latest figures from the Office for National Statistics (ONS) show.
An estimated 2.3 million people or one in 30 has the virus - a rise of 32% on the week before.
The rise is being driven by two new fast-spreading sub-variants of Omicron - called BA.4 and BA.5.

Can't compete with that although the Germans have come up with a word whereby their word for 'bad' is dropped into the middle of their word for 'improve' (and which becomes 'verschlimmbessern') and means making something worse whilst trying to improve it

“Today, I am intensifying my call for governments and civil society to scale up efforts … to prevent monkeypox from establishing itself across a growing geographical area," WHO Regional Director for Europe, Hans Henri Kluge said.
“Urgent and coordinated action is imperative if we are to turn a corner in the race to reverse the ongoing spread of this disease."

Britain remains proudly at the head of the worldwide Monkeypox table - https://www.monkeypoxmeter.com/
Germany and Spain are closing in but providing we can organise more dinghies to cross the Channel filled with former citizens of countries where Monkeypox is endemic then I'm confident we can hang on to top spot.
Dr Eric Feigl-Ding is a very big wheel in his field (his wiki page: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eric_Feigl-Ding).
He appears to be gagging for Monkeypox to be declared a pandemic. In fact, he appears to be salivating at the prospect. https://twitter.com/DrEricDing
⚠️Exponential surge to almost 13,000 #monkeypox cases globally—with no signs of slowing—on track to hit 100,000 in August 👀(per earlier forecast). The next @WHO meeting to discuss making a public health emergency declaration is… in 4 days on July 21. Pandemic yet? Heck yeah. 🧵 pic.twitter.com/M1zvmn1ayV
