The CDC is investigating the first two cases of monkeypox that have been identified in children in the US. One case is a toddler who is a resident of California. The other is an infant who is not a US resident.
Dr. Ashish Jha, the White House Covid response coordinator, said the Biden administration is considering declaring monkeypox a public health emergency that will help unlock federal financial assistance in response to the outbreak. This comes after the WHO declared monkeypox a global health emergency on Saturday, as well as pressure from Congress and the first confirmed cases of monkeypox in children in the US. "There’s no final decision on this that I’m aware of," Jha told reporters on Friday. "It’s an ongoing, but a very active conversation at HHS."
The CDC is investigating the first two cases of monkeypox that have been identified in children in the US The two cases are unrelated and probably the result of household transmission, the CDC said. One case is a toddler who is a resident of California. The other is an infant who is not a US resident.
So far, the US has shipped more than 300,000 doses of the monkeypox vaccine to city and state health departments, said Jha. The FDA is in the process of authorizing an additional 786,000 doses awaiting distribution in the US.
Currently, no deaths have been reported in the US, but more than 2,500 monkeypox cases have emerged so far across 44 states, according to the CDC. The largest outbreaks are in the densely populated areas of New York, California, Illinois, Florida, DC, and Georgia.
The Biden Administration has come under fire from Congress in their handling of the monkeypox outbreak. Fifty House Democrats wrote a letter to President Joe Biden this week, calling for the administration to declare a public health emergency.
Health experts have recently been debating whether monkeypox is now a sexually transmitted disease, as it is primarily spreading through skin-to-skin contact during sex. Men who have sex with men are at the highest risk of infection, but anyone can catch the virus through close physical contact. In most cases, recovery takes two to four weeks, but the virus causes lesions that can be very painful.
maybe CPS needs to investigate those homos....i mean homes.
why’s your kid anywhere near your junk/rash/ just ewww.
Gay adopted children? Molestees? Unfortunate victims of incidental contact with infected care-givers?
Worth tracing.
The health emergency is homosexuals.
I’d be more concerned who spread the pox to the kids.
No need for a national emergency. Don’t be a queer and monkey pox isn’t a worry.
Why? The only way your likely to get it is if you engage in butt sex with fags.
These are likely the same people who would drop an atomic bomb on a mole hill if that mole hill was found to be a ‘public health emergency’.
I mean golly, they would have been better off declaring a climate change lockdown since you know its no doubt a ‘public health emergency’ and existential threat.......... /s
CONTRARY TO THE POPULAR BELIEF, YOU CAN GET THE POX VIA CASUAL CONTACT AND OFF INANIMATE OBJECTS.........................
They’re children adopted by gay men. It is possible to catch monkey pox through casual contact like hugging one cue the poxes start showing.
Not true.
It’s not like coronavirus.
You can get it thru casual contact and from inanimate objects....
He’s worried about the November elections. Probably the only reason he doesn’t commit more criminal tyranny right now.
STD in the gay world so it will be illegal to even suggest someone may be infected. Exactly like AIDs and the complete opposite of Covid.
Guess which group will not be locked down.
Check behind the curtain you’ll find some pedophiles
Then tell us how many cases are from straight people. The one woman who has it in the US had sex with a bisexual man IIRC.
There is another election to steal.
It is time for another plandemic.
Having read how monkeypox is spread, should I wear my face mask over or under my pants?
CHILDREN... shouldn’t be that hard to trace the source then
12 cases reported in Minnesota, please send 300,000 vials of magic sauce.
