Post: North Korea fired three ballistic missiles early on Wednesday morning, South Korea's military has said. Authorities in Seoul said the missiles were fired in the space of less than an hour from the Sunan area in Pyongyang. It comes just a day after US President Joe Biden left the region, following a trip that saw him vowing to bolster measures to deter North Korea. North Korea has been test-firing a flurry of ballistic missiles since the beginning of this year. |

The three were being treated as outpatients in hospital and were in a stable condition, a statement said. Anthrax is considered to be primarily a zoonotic disease, meaning that humans usually pick it up from infected animals. It is not an airborne illness like the flu. Victims are usually people who work closely with animals. On Sunday, the agriculture ministry confirmed an outbreak among animals in the north-west of the country, with more than 200 dying. It was the first such outbreak for three decades. Anthrax can cause severe illness and be fatal for humans if not treated, but usually it does not spread easily. Sierra Leone's Emergency Operation Centre is closely monitoring the situation and increasing public awareness. The World Health Organization has been notified. Anthrax is caused by bacillus anthracis. It largely survives as spores that hide away in soil for years before entering an animal through a cut or wound. Anthrax can be treated with antibiotics but treatment needs to start soon after infection. |

Post: https://news.sky.com/story/monkeypox-is-a-concern-and-the-us-is-looking-into-treatments-and-vaccines-says-joe-biden-12618684 Monkeypox is a 'concern for everybody' and US is looking into treatments and vaccines, says President Joe Biden The World Health Organisation has identified about 80 monkeypox cases globally, and roughly 50 more suspected cases - with a leading doctor telling Sky News the UK is facing a 'significant rise' over the next week. Monkeypox is something "everybody should be concerned about" and the US is looking into what kind of treatments and vaccines are available, President Joe Biden has said.

Post: https://www.bbc.com/news/health-61532083 Monkeypox: 80 cases confirmed in 12 countries More than 80 cases of monkeypox have been confirmed in at least 12 countries. The World Health Organization has said another 50 suspected cases are being investigated - without naming any countries - and warned that more cases are likely to be reported. Infections have been confirmed in nine European countries, as well as the US, Canada and Australia. Monkeypox is most common in remote parts of Central and West Africa. It is a rare viral infection which is usually mild and from which most people recover in a few weeks, according to the UK's National Health Service. The virus does not spread easily between people and the risk to the wider public is said to be very low. There is no specific vaccine for monkeypox, but a smallpox jab offers 85% protection since the two viruses are quite similar. |

Post: left scare tactics. https://www.cnn.com/2022/05/19/health/monkeypox-us-cases-cdc-investigation/index.html CDC monitors 6 people in US for possible rare monkeypox, says public 'should not be concerned' Officials at the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are closely tracking recent clusters of monkeypox infections around the world -- and possible cases in the United States. Currently, the CDC is monitoring six people in the United States for possible monkeypox infections after they sat near an infected traveler who had symptoms while on a flight from Nigeria to the United Kingdom in early May. Separately, CDC officials also are investigating a case of monkeypox confirmed in a man in Massachusetts who had recently traveled to Canada. And in New York City, one patient has tested positive for orthopoxvirus, the family of viruses to which monkeypox belongs, NYC health officials announced in a news release Friday. |
