It appears WHO officials have settled on a new name for Monkeypox - MPOX.

Some of us have been using MPX, so need to add a letter going forward…

Wow, can I sue for copyright infringement?   (no, I don't hold the copyright).  MPOX has been my "shorthand" for monkeypox all along since we started the 2022 iteration.  

Here in Wisconsin we've no active (reported) infections.  A good many people here took advantage of drive through MPOX vax clinics.  We didn't even have to get out of the car.  

MPX always meant multiplex in my texting shorthand.
