First #mpox case outside of #Africa (at least for the current epidemic): a man in #Sweden has been diagnosed with it, after having travelled to "an area in Africa with a particularly high infection rate", according to the #news on the radio now.
I bet before this, the rest of the world didn't know what mpox was. But wasn't it the same with Covid in the beginning? :/
