Gov. Gavin Newsom rescinded the statewide emergency declaration for mpox this week, citing that state residents are no longer in "extreme peril" due to the virus.
Newsom issued the state of emergency for mpox, initially known as monkeypox, on Aug. 1, 2022. The declaration enabled the state to collaborate more efficiently with local governments to vaccinate at-risk people and quickly stand up vaccination and testing clinics.
At that time, the state was receiving paltry dispersals of the Jynneos vaccine for mpox from the federal government. Meanwhile, confirmed and suspected cases were skyrocketing in cities like San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Cases of the virus started to rapidly decline just after Newsom's declaration. The state has not reported a seven-day average of more than five cases per day since late October. As of Jan. 20, 5,719 cases of mpox have been confirmed statewide.
In addition to the mpox state of emergency, Newsom rescinded 25 other active statewide and local emergency declarations dating back to 2017, including those for the Tubbs Fire and the Colorado Fire.
Only in danger if you take it where it don’t belong...
High speed rail NOW!
“initially known as monkeypox”
It still is. “Mpox” is politically correct nonsense.
Did the cowering masses peek out of the basement windows to see the all clear? Or did a guy in a helmet come past with a bullhorn?
“State of Emergency”
Somebody needs to take those “car keys” away from the statist joyriders.
gee, what’s the rush, Gavin?
As soon as the dogs and adopted children of these mentally ill people began contracting the Monkey Pox, raising awareness to their demented and perverse lifestyles, all a sudden it’s disappear in large part from the media.
