This question resolves to YES if there are >=85,500 confirmed cases of monkeypox worldwide by year-end, using the cumulative confirmed cases of Jan 31st 2023, from Our World in Data:
https://ourworldindata.org/monkeypox

Note on resolution:
Our World in Data sometimes updates late, sometimes for several days. I am going to check on February 1st at 12:00PM EST. The latest data point will be the number I go with, even if the date for that number is earlier than Jan 31st (For example: If on February 1st, I see that Jan 29th is the last data point showing 84,999 cumulative cases, this question will resolve NO.

@JimAusman I was able to find it by searching though, so I am good.

predicted YES

first time i ever wished a disease on people

predicted NO

If you liked this market, I'm going to make a bunch more!

predicted YES

@MarcusAbramovitch check if @egroj hasn't already created the same, to avoid duplicates

predicted YES
predicted YES

Nevermind ...it was updated anyways.

I'm sinking with the ship...

predicted NO

@AllanLacy I'm going to check at exactly 12:00PM on Feb 1st. OWID may update past numbers. They may not. But whatever they do, that's the number I'm going with.

sold Ṁ193 of NO

I wouldn't be nearly as confident as Pat Myron seems to be

predicted YES

@MarcusAbramovitch Since you extended the close date, it would be way more interesting to wait until the data for January 31st its updated!!!

predicted NO

@AllanLacy that's not why I extended the close date. It's to allow people to trade it until the resolution

predicted NO

I was very clear on the resolution criteria and I'm not going to change them now.

predicted YES

@MarcusAbramovitch yes, I understand....just saying it would be more interesting to see if the predictions were right/wrong based on the number of cases, not just because the data is delayed.
