    Monkeypox update 21 June 2022. Non-reporting atm.

    Looking at the world data you would be excused to think that the monkeypox virus #3MXP was under control, but looking at individual countries you can see that most countries are not reporting data (“doing a McGowan”). There is no way they could all have had no new cases for 3 to 4 days at…
