Monkeypox.. what's the story?


A new virus called monkeypox has emerged in recent weeks and has scared people, although scientists have downplayed its danger.


Humans did not emerge from the repercussions of Covid until monkeypox appeared, so what is its story?


The World Health Organization announced on Sunday that it had reported 780 laboratory-confirmed monkeypox cases in 27 countries outside the countries where the disease is endemic, but confirmed that the global risk level is still moderate.


The organization suggested that this outcome, which was recorded between the previous May 13 and the second of June, is less than the actual number, given that epidemiological and laboratory information is limited.


"It is very likely that other countries will discover cases and the virus will spread further," the organization said.


Only a few cases of recorded injuries required the transfer of the injured to hospitals, as well as patients who are subject to health isolation.


The World Health Organization listed the countries where the disease is not endemic and recorded the highest number of infections, namely Britain (207), Spain (156), Portugal (138), Canada (58), and Germany (57).


In addition to Europe and North America, injuries were recorded in single numbers in Argentina, Australia, Morocco, and the United Arab Emirates. One infection in a country where the disease is not endemic is considered an outbreak.


The World Health Organization said, "Some countries announce that new generations of infections do not appear only among known contacts of previously confirmed cases, which indicates that chains of transmission pass undetected."



In its latest data on the outbreak of monkeypox, the organization indicated that "although the risk to human health remains small, the risk to public health may become high if the virus takes advantage of the opportunity to establish itself in countries where it is not endemic to cause a widespread human disease." ".


"The World Health Organization assesses the risk at the global level as moderate, considering that it is the first time that this number and groups of monkeypox infections have been announced simultaneously in countries where (the disease) is endemic and non-endemic," she added.


I believe that humanity has defeated Corona and can defeat monkeypox and any other pandemic.

  Summer in Morocco in 2025 is not only about the heat and the sunshine; it is a season of social rhythms, cultural gatherings, and daily habits that shape life across the country. As temperatures rise, Moroccans naturally adapt their routines, shifting much of their activity into the cooler hours of the evening when families and friends fill the streets, cafés, and seaside promenades. In coastal cities such as Casablanca, Rabat, and Tangier, the Atlantic breeze softens the summer atmosphere, turning the evenings into lively social occasions. Families stroll along the corniche, children play near the water, and young people gather in open cafés where mint tea and fresh juices remain essential companions to conversation. This nightly migration toward public spaces is one of the most distinctive features of Moroccan summer life. In Marrakech, Fez, and the historic towns of the interior, the story takes a different turn. The heat of the day pushes life into the shaded alleys of the...
