Catching Up On Missed Headlines: Ghana Sees Its Mpox Cases Spike, And A First Fatality...


This happened last weekend, whilst I was off grid at an Iron Man 70.3.

But here it is -- just the same. Back in the saddle now -- and into the power alley:

. . .Ghana has recorded its first death from Mpox, health authorities confirmed Sunday, amid a sharp rise in new infections in the West African country. . . .

Twenty-three new cases have been confirmed in the past week, bringing the total number of infections to 257 since the virus was first detected in Ghana in June 2022.

The latest figure marks the highest weekly increase since the outbreak began and the first fatality recorded in the country. . . .


Now you know -- and we will be largely off grid for the whole month of September, 2026 -- enjoying the World Championships in Nice, France. And then. . . more time, back in Monaco. Woot!
