Pritzker declares monkeypox disaster with 520 cases
The Center Square ^ | 8/1/2022 | Greg Bishop

Gov. J.B. Pritzker declared the virus a public health emergency Monday, which allows the Illinois Department of Public Health to use state and federal resources across state agencies to distribute vaccines.

“I find that a disaster exists within the State of Illinois due to the public health emergency caused by the monkeypox virus and specifically declare all counties in the state of Illinois as a disaster area,” Pritzker’s disaster declaration said.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention puts the count nationwide at 5,189. Illinois has reported 520 cases of confirmed or presumptive monkeypox, according to the governor’s office, the third most in the country.

“specifically declare all counties in the state of Illinois as a disaster area”

Ridiculous. Not a single county in the state is in an actual state of disaster. Not even Boy’s Town in Chicago is in a state of disaster, and that’s about the only place in the state that you’re likely to catch the buttpox if you aren’t careful.

I would love to see a map of the US showing monkeypox cases and overlay it with places they had pride festivals in June.

The fudge-packer flu is so easy to avoid....unless you’re an innocent child who has wound up in one of their homes.

Five hundred twenty out of three hundred thirty million I guess qualifies for a disaster in liberal terms.

I just hope you don’t get it from staying at Hyatt hotels in the Chicago area. It’s my understanding that Pritzker frequence them with his friends
