Ghana Has Reported 34 New Mpox Clade 1b Cases; 79 Overall, In This 2025 Outbreak...


Not remotely unexpected -- that the totals are still rising, in the middle of Africa. This is what would be predicted, by all the modeling, if one were to greatly curtail international public health funding -- and safe population practices / hand-washing education efforts.

What were smallish outbreaks of difficult communicable viral diseases. . . will go. . . and stay. . . viral.

Sadly, this one also (like so, so many other debacles) falls at the feet of Tangerine 2.0's misguided "policies". Here's that story -- from local African outlets:

. . .Ghana has reported 34 new cases of Mpox, raising the total number of confirmed infections to 79. Four patients are currently hospitalised, and contact tracing is ongoing.

The Ghana Health Service says more than ten regions have been affected, prompting nationwide surveillance. Authorities are urging the public to seek medical attention if they show symptoms such as rash, fever, swollen lymph nodes, or muscle pain. . . .


And once again -- where is USAID? Sidelined -- that's where. Onward, just the same.
