A survey found that Americans are more worried about the coronavirus than the monkey pox virus.
And this poll, released Friday evening by the American network “Fox News”, shows that 55 percent of Americans are very worried about the coronavirus that causes “Covid-19”, which is a relatively constant figure since last May. And 17 units have decreased compared to January.
In contrast, 45 percent of Americans expressed concern about the monkeypox virus, while a majority, an estimated 54 percent, said they were not concerned about the virus.
This announcement is made while a few days ago, the United States declared a public health emergency due to the outbreak of the monkey pox virus in this country, and the decision of the United States was made after the World Health Organization declared a global emergency regarding this epidemic.
Official statistics in the United States say that the number of people infected with the monkey pox virus exceeded 10,000 by Friday.
However, that number appears to be relatively low in the case of the coronavirus that has “struck the country” since the beginning of 2020, according to Fox News, as it has infected 92 million people and claimed the lives of more than one Millions of Americans have ended.
Monkey pox, a viral disease discovered a few months ago, is somewhat similar to the well-known smallpox and is transmitted by contact with infected people or animals or by handling contaminated tools, while the coronavirus is transmitted through respiratory droplets. is transferred in the air.
Monkey pox causes a rash on the body as well as fever, malaise and muscle aches, but so far appears to have a lower human toll than the coronavirus.
