Resolves yes if there is a full or partial lockdown in at least 100 countries due to Mpox or if the WHO declares an Mpox pandemic
1,000
1.00There are two sides to this: (1) lockdowns in 100 countries and (2) pandemic declared by WHO.
(1): even for COVID there weren't 100 countries under lockdown by the beginning of the epidemic, in April 2020 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_lockdowns
MPOX much less/not transmissible by air -> less beneficial to impose lockdowns
(2) WHO declaring a pandemic is (a) extremely political, (b) might create panic. even for COVID they were extremely reluctant to do it
-> very unlikely to happen
