Should monkeypox be a global health crisis?

Описание: 원숭이 두창이 전세계 보건 위험 인가?

It's time for ON-Point, where we speak to experts to delve deeper into some of the key issues in the spotlight right now.
Cases of Monkeypox across the globe have seen a rapid increase.
According to the U.S. CDC, more than 12-thousand-5-hundred cases have been confirmed in 68 countries.
Many countries, in response, have been ramping up their supply of vaccines to fight the virus... however some health experts are saying it's too late to respond now.
Is this really true, and are we facing another potential global health crisis?
For more, we have Michael Toole, a Professor at Burnet Institute, with us today.
Good morning!


1. First, health officials globally are saying that the confirmed cases now are just the tip of the iceberg. Could you elaborate on what the officials are really saying by this,... in terms of what the situation is now or how it might unfold?
2. The WHO is considering calling the outbreak a "global health threat". People are already weary from the prolonged COVID-19. Is this move necessary and what are the implications?
3. How aggressively should countries try to obtain monkeypox vaccines and is there a need for people to get inoculated?
4. Monkeypox doesn't seem to be as transmissible as COVID-19... but as the virus evolves... is there a chance it could become more transmissible than it is now?

It's always a pleasure speaking with you.
Thank you again, and hope to see you again soon.
