92 monkeypox cases confirmed in 12 countries, may spread globally: WHO

Image
NEW DELHI: At least 92 monkeypox virus cases have been confirmed in 12 countries, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said, warning that the infection is likely to spread to more nations even as it expands surveillance. The 12 countries -- the US, Canada, Australia, UK, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Sweden -- are not endemic for monkeypox virus, meaning the virus is not typically found unlike some countries in Central and West Africa. While so far no deaths have been reported, about 28 cases in these countries are potential cases. Investigations are going on to confirm them, the global health agency said.

"No associated deaths have been reported to date. The situation is ...

Marvel Studios now approaches the finish line for the release of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness , a feat that is certainly cause for celebration thanks to this sequel’s scale and expectations. However, even with a story that breaks the Multiverse open and introduces potentially dozens of new characters, the lead-up to its debut hasn’t come without its hiccups.

This started with Phastos being portrayed as gay in last year’s Eternals , and Doctor Strange 2 will continue that trend, but it’s clear that parts of the world still have progress to make in this area. ADVERTISEMENT Just the other day, Saudi Arabia banned the release of Doctor Strange 2 in its theaters due to America Chavez being shown as gay on-screen; she’s a member of the LGBTQIA+ community in the comics as well. Now,...
