As mentioned previously, MP is very much like Smallpox, except less deadly...it can leave permanent scars since the disease, if serious, will attack all the way through the skin's dermis...not pretty. Right now, it is estimated to have a transmissibility factor (R0) of around 2-3...(versus Measles with R0=12+).
Investigations are continuing...stay tuned, but no need to 'freak out' at this point in time.
