Even the lower fataility rate of 1%, it is still higher than Covid!

Monkeypox, a viral zoonotic disease, is caused by the monkeypox virus - a member of the Orthopoxvirus genus in the family Poxviridae.

It occurs primarily in the tropical rainforest areas of Central and West Africa and is transmitted by close contact with infected humans or animals with lesions. Body fluids, respiratory droplets and contaminated materials can also transmit the virus.

Spillovers from animals are said to be more common than transmission between humans.
With symptoms that include fever, headaches, muscle aches, backache, chills, exhaustion, and swollen lymph nodes and a distinctive bumpy rash, it was first identified in monkeys in 1958.
...
Monkeypox usually lasts from two to four weeks, with the typical fatality ratio of around 3 to 6 percent. The disease has two main strains: the Congo strain, known for up to 10 percent mortality, and the West African strain, with a fatality rate in about 1 percent of cases. The cases in the UK are reported to be the West African strain.
