WHO Director: World does not need to live with monkeypox Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, PhD, of the World Health Organization (WHO) today said many European countries, including Germany and the Netherlands, were showing continued slowing of new monkeypox cases, while countries in the Americas (save for Canada) are still seeing increased case counts.Tedros said the slowing of cases in Europe, once the epicenter of the current outbreak, is welcome news."There are encouraging early signs, as evidenced in France, Germany, Portugal, Spain, the United Kingdom.

These signs confirm what we have said consistently since the beginning: that with the right measures, this is an outbreak that can be stopped," Tedros said. "And in regions that do not have animal-to-human transmission, this is a virus that can be eliminated."Unlike COVID-19, which the world will have to live with for the foreseeable future, monkeypox does not have to become an accepted disease, Tedros said."Eliminating monkeypox needs three things: the evidence that it's possible, which we are now beginning to see; political will and commitment; and the implementation of public health measures in the communities that need them most," said Tedros.Globally there are more than 50,000 cases of monkeypox.

Fanta Bility shooting: 3 Sharon Hill officers charged in child's shooting death due in court

SHARON HILL, Pa. - The three Sharon Hill police officers charged in the death of Fanta Bility, 8, are due in court Monday. Officers Devon Smith, Sean Dolan and Brian Devaney are each charged with 12 criminal counts of manslaughter and reckless endangerment in relation to the August 2021 shooting. The officers were also fired from the force following the fatal shooting. Authorities say Bility and her family were leaving a football game at Academy Park High School when a shooting between two men erupted in a crowd of people. Bullets from the shooting were fired in the direction of the three officers who were monitoring the crowd. RELATED HEADLINESThe officers reportedly returned fire, shooting toward a car they believed was involved in the initial gunfire, fatally striking Bility, officials say. Investigators later determined that the bullets fired toward the officers originated from an argument between 16-year-old Angelo "A.J." Ford and Hasein Strand, 19. The officers are set to arrive at the Delaware County courthouse in Media, Pennsylvania, to learn the fate of the charges against them. The mother of 8-year-old Fanta Bility spoke to FOX 29's Jeff Cole on the eve of the one-year anniversary of the deadly police shooting that claimed the life of her daughter. The family was leaving a Delaware County high school football game when a shooting erupted between two men and prompted nearby officers to return fire.
