How worried should we be about monkeypox?

Episode description

While COVID continues to ravage the world, it's far from the only virus that's affecting humans at the moment.

Cases of flu are soaring in Australia, and the Queensland Government is worried enough about it that it's offering all Queenslanders a free flu vaccination.

And to add to that is a new outbreak of monkeypox in Europe and North America with 100 suspected and confirmed cases so far, though cases have not been severe.

So what is Monkeypox, could it end up like COVID and how worried should we be?
