men who have sex with men are the community at highest risk.

Im wondering on whats the reason on why men who have sex with other men does have higher risk? Is this immunity issue or just trying you tell something? hehe

Dont know if this one needs to make out some emphasis into those who had some relation with similar gender but well this is how they do deliver it out.
Important thing that people or government shouldnt really be that confident on neglecting or not putting some attention on this one because
this might end up on being a pandemic if cant be stopped nor get rid early.

Is this the new black swan that should crash all markets?

"The WHO declared monkeypox a global health emergency.
The rare designation means the WHO now views the outbreak as a significant enough threat to global health that a coordinated international response is needed.
The WHO last issued a global health emergency in January 2020 in response to the Covid-19 outbreak.
Europe is the epicenter of the outbreak. Right now, men who have sex with men are the community at highest risk.
The WHO chief said the global risk is moderate, but the threat is high in Europe.
Monkeypox is unlikely to disrupt international trade or travel right now, the WHO chief said."

No not at all. This isn't going to be a major black swan event. First of all this isn't a new virus it's just another outbreak which also is not that contagious like Covid and all. The number of cases in total are pretty low and then moreover the death rate is pretty low in this case so I dont think this will affect the global markets in any manner. Covid was on an altogether different level compared to this. These types of viruses have been coming and going it's only after Covid we are noticing them.
