First time in history when WHO has declared two pandemic Public Health Emergencies of International Concern (PHEIC)
Global Prevalence

Presently in 76 countries in the span of 78 days since May 6, 2022 when the first case outside of endemic regions in Africa was reported in the UK
Growth

As of today, 16,593 cases are reported from countries where Monkeypox is not endemic. Given the limited test availability, the lack of awareness of symptoms and the asymptomatic transmission, likely the current case count is closer to 100,000. At the present rate of growth, confirmed cases will exceed 25,000 by end of July, 200,000 by end of August and 2 million by end of September.
Demographics
Presently 98% of Monkeypox cases are among Men having sex with Men (MSM) who constitute 2% of the population. However, about 1.5% of the cases are among women and 0.5% of the cases are pediatric. 1/3 of the pediatric cases (23) are under age 4, meaning there is no demographic that is not impacted. Of the 2891 cases reported in the the US, 3 are pediatric cases including a toddler in California.

Muscle aches and backache
