Monkey Pox, right on time to give Democrats an excuse to cheat in the next election..

The World Health Organization declared the outbreak of monkeypox
to be a public health emergency of international concern.

"The global monkeypox outbreak represents a public health
emergency of international concern," WHO Director-General Dr.
Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a briefing in Geneva
Saturday.

At the virtual press conference, Ghebreyesus also said that the
outbreak has spread around the world "rapidly" and that
officials understand "too little" about the disease.

Ghebreyesus also outlined a set of recommendations for countries
that have not yet reported a case of monkeypox or have not
reported a case for 21 days; those with recently imported cases
of monkeypox that are experiencing human-to-human transmission;
those with transmission of monkeypox between animals and humans;
and those with manufacturing capacities for diagnostics,
vaccines and therapeutics.

This is the seventh event declared a PHEIC by the global health
agency since 2007.

The other six include the H1N1 influenza pandemic of 2009; the
Ebola outbreak in West Africa from 2013 to 2015; the Ebola
outbreak in the Democratic Republic of the Congo from 2018 to
2020; the Zika outbreak in 2016; the ongoing spread of
poliovirus that started in 2014; and the ongoing COVID-19
pandemic, according to the National Library of Medicine.

More than 14,000 monkeypox cases have now been detected across
the globe in more than 70 countries and territories, according
to the WHO. Thus far, five deaths have been reported, all of
which have occurred in Africa.

In the United States, more than 2,300 cases are confirmed or
suspected in states and the District of Columbia, according to
the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In New York, a
total of 679 cases of monkeypox have now been confirmed, with
the vast majority of them — 94% — detected in New York City,
state officials said on Wednesday.

"I would like you to all understand that we anticipate an
increase in cases in the coming weeks,” CDC Director Dr.
Rochelle Walensky said during a press briefing last week, noting
that with increased testing, an improved reporting system for
states, and the continued spread of disease, more cases will be
identified. “We know monkeypox symptoms usually start within
three weeks of exposure to the virus, so we anticipate we may
see an increase in cases throughout the month of July and into
August.”

Prior to the outbreak, most cases occurred in countries where
the virus is endemic -- typically central and western Africa.

Monkeypox is generally a mild illness with the most common
symptoms being fever, headache, fatigue and muscle aches.
Patients can develop a rash and lesions that often begin on the
face before spreading to the rest of the body.

People are typically infected by animals through a bite or a
scratch or through preparation and consumption of contaminated
bush meat.

However, in the current outbreak, most of the spread has come
from coming into contact with infected people's lesions or
bodily fluids, making it less transmissible than other viruses
such as COVID-19.

Many cases have been reported among men who identify as gay,
bisexual or men who have sex with men, but there is currently no
evidence monkeypox is a sexually transmitted infection -- and
experts have emphasized anyone can be infected.

In an effort to combat the spread of the disease, health
officials are working to ramp up distribution of monkeypox
vaccines.

Last week, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services
(HHS) announced that it has ordered another 2.5 million doses of
the JYNNEOS monkeypox vaccine, amidst increased demand for the
shots. The department’s latest order is in addition to its July
1 order of 2.5 million doses, which will begin arriving over the
next year. The federal government expects to have an available
supply of 7 million doses by mid-2023.

“I want to acknowledge that at this time the demand for vaccines
from jurisdictions is higher than our current available supply,
and we know that this is frustrating,” Walensky said last week.

Teams are “actively working” to strategically increase supply to
get the vaccines to “those who need it most,” Walenksy noted.

White House COVID-19 Response Coordinator Dr. Ashish Jha, also
acknowledged this week that the need for additional monkeypox
vaccine doses is paramount.

"We got to keep going and we got to keep doing more," Jha added.
"In the days and weeks ahead, you're gonna just see more and
more."
