LONDON – The World Health Organization says it's holding an open forum to rename the disease monkeypox, after some critics raised concerns the name could be derogatory or have racist connotations.
In a statement Friday, the U.N. health agency said it has also renamed two families, or clades, of the virus, using Roman numerals instead of geographic areas, to avoid stigmatization. The version of the disease formerly known as the Congo Basin will now be known as Clade one or I and the West Africa clade will be known as Clade two or II.
WHO said the decision was made following a meeting of scientists this week and in line with current best practices for naming diseases, which aims to "avoid causing offense to any cultural, social, national, regional, professional, or ethnic groups, and minimize any negative impact on trade, travel, tourism or animal welfare."

Lefties dont need rallies and boats and golf carts and flags to be appreciative. They are not a cult.

You equate one deranged teacher with the THOUSANDS of Trumpers that would lick the shit out of his ass?
Trump rallies are every weekend and attended by thousands. And his boat rallies!! OMG! How did this guy lose to a guy that gets 25 people at his rallies? (BTW this is my favorite argument for voter fraud).

Same. If hes the nominee I'll vote for him because the Dems are so out of touch with reality but I've 4 or 5 others I'd prefer in his place. EFMN thinks everyone who isnt a card carrying Democrat is a Trump cult member.
