Monkeypox is getting a new name. What name would you give it?

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Assigning new names to existing diseases is the responsibility of WHO under the Int'll Classification of Diseases. WHO is holding an open consultation for a new disease name for #monkeypox. Anyone wishing to propose new names can do so.

This man was disowned by his family! SMH! Regardless of your political views or religious beliefs, what's happened to this family is sad and I don't wish it on my worst enemy.

A great example of colorism is to believe I can be compared to anyone. I’m the youngest talk show host ever. The first Black woman to star in her own show on Nickelodeon, & the youngest & first Black Cinderella on broadway. I’m an incomparable talent. Baby, THIS, is Keke Palmer.
