Here we go again

As the first country, Sweden yesterday confirmed the first disease case of the new, more serious form of mpox (called mpox clade I), formerly known as monkeypox, outside the African continent. This caused the Danish pharmaceutical company Bavarian Nordic (BAVA), which makes the vaccine against this disease, to rush on the Danish stock market exchange at the opening today. So far, (BAVA) has increased more than 11.59% compared to the opening price.

Magnus Gisslén, state epidemiologist at the Public Health Agency, says that quote "It concerns a person who has been infected during a stay in a part of Africa where there is an ongoing spread of mpox clade I. The person in Sweden who has been confirmed to be infected has received care and rules of conduct .", unquote.

I sincerely hope that Sweden has taken new measures compared to Covid-19 and now quarantines people who come from infected areas until it is proven that the person(s) are free of infection.
