#China is suddenly dealing with another public health crisis: #mpox (formerly known as #monkeypox)
While the scale is vastly differently than #covid, government is already repeating some of the same mistakes.Mpox is less contagious than covid, but since 2022, more than 88,000 people have contracted the disease, which can be painful and even debilitating for some.
