More than 200 people in 27 states are being monitored for possible exposure to monkeypox after they had contact with an individual who contracted the disease in Nigeria before traveling to the United States this month, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. To date, no additional cases have been detected.
State and local health authorities are working with the CDC to identify and assess the individuals, and follow up with them daily until late this month, said Andrea McCollum, who leads the poxvirus epidemiology unit at the agency’s National Center for Emerging and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases.
“It is a lot of people,” McCollum acknowledged.
The efforts stem from the discovery that a U.S. resident infected with monkeypox traveled from Lagos, Nigeria, on an overnight flight to Atlanta that arrived on July 9; the person then traveled the same day to Dallas. On July 15, the individual sought care at a Dallas hospital emergency room, where the diagnosis of monkeypox was made.

God really IS angry at us!
How is the CDC handling all of the disease being brought into the US over BiXiden’s open Southern Border?
Monkeypox? Why not. No one is scared enuff of the delta variant of kungflu.
Probably 20 illegals from Nigeria have been allowed to come over the Mexican border in the past month and our government has no idea.
You know what this means? Time to start importing people wholesale from Lagos.
Sorry, I just wanted to see what it’s like to think like a Democrat.
From further down in the article:
“Passengers on the Atlanta-Dallas flight with indirect contact — in other words, those sitting near the infected person — were deemed to have had too short an exposure to be at risk, said McCollum.”
Who determined what is ‘too short’ an exposure? Spin the wheel of fortune?
Ebola is so outdated.
Bidens fault
Tell another lie, Faucnocchio!
Did Fauci sponsor GOF research on Monkeypox?
Betcha it’s more than that.Yeah, let’s have a monkeypox outbreak in all the places the Biden idiots are shuttling illegals throughout the country. I think the monkeypox would make an EXCELLENT running mate for the Democrats in 2022.
Could be worse.
At least we aren’t being forced to watch Monkees re-runs.
Who needs bio-weapons labs when we got sub-Saharan Africa?
What a “Monkey Cluster” this is going to be! :>)
“We define indirect contact as being within 6 feet of the patient “
6 feet must be some sort of magic number.
Do you have to wear a mask to prevent monkeypox? Sooo.. is this their next “trick” to shut us down again????
I say let the chinese have it.
the CDC works with the first pedophile and his
Communist Stasi to impose their patents on humans
to make them TRANS-HUMAN.
to encourage this, they remove normal cures and therapies,
lie about everything, and then work to move the infected
from city to city, from borders to cities SECRETLY
[”Quartering”]. why? to inject more of their
untested patents.
What happened to accountability, Koch’s postulates,
and doctors deciding instead of Board rooms.
