Monkeypox

In discussing monkeypox, Sal Di Stefano from the Mind Pump Podcast pointed out that it wasn't considered a widespread issue, with only about 118 cases reported globally at the time of discussion. He mentioned that the virus appeared to spread through close contact and mentioned an instance where it might have spread through raves in Europe. The physical symptoms of monkeypox were described as severe, including rashes and large pox, but the disease itself was not considered highly deadly. The discussion also touched on the panic and conspiracy theories that emerge around such viral outbreaks, highlighting how societal fears can be amplified despite the relatively small number of cases1.
