The new variant is also barely audible for now at least in my country like that. As for the Monkeypox problem, in my opinion, this is actually only exaggerated because if you look at the symptoms or transmission, it's not as strong as Covid.
And when we add the aggressive vaccination campaign then the effects of the covid pandemic have been reduced significantly, so it is not surprising that other more prominent problems are now the main worry of the people.
I have seen an images of a person suffering with the monkeypox - it was horrible. I pray to Lord to save us from all these diseases - Ameen
