NO

Resolves YES if the 7-day moving average of Mpox cases reported by the CDC (https://www.cdc.gov/poxvirus/monkeypox/response/2022/mpx-trends.html) is 0 on any day before February 1, 2023.


The market closes on January 31, 2023, but data for the last days of the month will likely not be available until later, so I will resolve the market whenever data for January 31 is available.

predicted NO

Data is now available up to February 1st. Lowest point for January was 2 on the 31st.

predicted NO

CDC is now updating cases every two weeks, so you will have to wait a little bit for resolution. But I'm almost sure it will resolve NO, so I already created the same market for February:

hmm the data says 0 at the moment but I think it's gonna be like december 31st first they put 0 and later on they will update the data with the actual numbers

@Simon1551 it has to get to 0 for the moving average, not the cases in one day. I don't think it will be a problem for this market as cases will update within a week if there are issues. In any case, I will resolve as soon as there is a day with a report of 0 for the 7-day moving average, independently of the data then changing. I'll update the description to make sure that everyone is aware of that.

predicted YES

@egroj they now only update once a week on Wednesdays, that's why there's been nothing since Jan 4.

@NicoDelon Oh thats golden info

@NicoDelon Did they specify it somewhere?

sold Ṁ24 of YES

Probability is quite high, so I made another one for it ending mid January:

I mean is it ever going to end?

bought Ṁ15 of YES

@Simon1551 looks like it is about to end:

@egroj Well that's good
