Quick Glance: Thailand Reports First Mpox Case in Asia
- Thailand has confirmed its first case of a new, more dangerous strain of Mpox, marking the second confirmed case outside Africa. The patient, who traveled from an unnamed African country, was found to carry the clade 1b strain, as reported by the Thai Department of Disease Control.
- Travelers arriving from 42 'risk countries' are required to register and undergo testing upon arrival in Thailand. If any symptoms resembling chickenpox are observed, further testing is mandated. The head of the Thai Department of Disease Control noted that Mpox is less likely to spread rapidly compared to Covid due to the close contact necessary for transmission.
- Mpox, previously known as monkeypox, is a highly infectious disease primarily found in West and Central Africa. The new clade 1b strain has raised global concerns due to its increased infectivity and lethality. A case of this variant was confirmed in Sweden last week, indicating a potential spread beyond the African continent.
- The World Health Organization (WHO) has declared a global health emergency in response to the new strain. According to the WHO, the spread of this deadlier variant can be managed and should not be compared to Covid. Over the past week, around 1,400 Mpox infections have been reported in Africa, raising the total to nearly 19,000 cases this year.

Quick Glance: Trump Melts Down Online During Harris’ DNC Speech
- Donald Trump erupted into a public meltdown just two minutes into Vice President Kamala Harris' nomination acceptance speech during the Democratic National Convention. His response included around 50 furious posts on Truth Social, which started when Harris entered the venue and continued after her speech concluded. Trump's posts revealed his displeasure with Harris' remarks, questioning why she was discussing topics like childhood instead of pressing issues such as the border crisis, inflation, and crime.
- Harris specifically criticized Trump and his associates for their plans to restrict reproductive rights, outlining proposals from Project 2025, a conservative initiative aimed at advancing a far-right agenda. These included limiting access to birth control and implementing a national abortion ban. Trump vehemently denied these claims, labeling them as lies and insisting he supports women's safety, while accusing Harris of contributing to societal problems through her immigration policies.
- In addition to his social media rants, Trump called into Fox News to vent his frustrations. He argued against Harris' growing popularity in polls and demographics, asserting that he was performing well among various voter groups. Despite the anchors' attempts to moderate the conversation, Trump seemed flustered and repeatedly interrupted himself due to technical mishaps on his phone.
- After his Fox News appearance, Trump continued his tirade by calling into Newsmax, where he expressed disappointment that Harris did not address issues like human trafficking. His erratic behavior and inability to stay composed were noticeable throughout these broadcasts, leading to comments from hosts about his unique demeanor.

Quick Glance: Harris' Multiracial Heritage Mirrors US Demographic Shift
- Kamala Harris, the daughter of a Jamaican father and an Indian mother, embodies the changing demographics of the United States. With her nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate, she represents the country's fastest-growing racial group, as 13% of Americans now identify as multiracial.
- The rise in multiracial identity in the U.S. has been significant since the 2000 census allowed individuals to select multiple races, where only 2% identified as multiracial. The majority of multiracial individuals are under 44 years old, indicating a more diverse future ahead.
- Harris's election could mark the first presidency of a Black woman and South Asian. Many Democrats view her mixed heritage as an asset, enhancing her ability to advocate for a wide range of Americans and contribute to legislative solutions.
- Despite advances in multiracial identity, there is a growing backlash from white nationalist groups and some Republican lawmakers attempting to halt change. This reaction is seen as a response to shifting demographics and a regression in racial politics.
