    Very happy to see Swallwell fail after his immature ignorant behavior with a Chink whore spy.

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

    A global outbreak of monkeypox has grown to nearly 14,000 cases,
    including 5 deaths, the director-general of the World Health
    Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, PhD, said today.

    Though the outbreak is heavily concentrated in Europe, the five
    deaths have been reported in African nations. Some countries are
    beginning to record a decline in cases, but six countries this
    week reported their first cases.

    "Tomorrow, the International Health Regulations Emergency
    Committee will reconvene to review the latest data, and to
    consider whether the outbreak constitutes a public health
    emergency of international concern," Tedros said. "Regardless of
    the committee's recommendation, WHO will continue to do
    everything we can to support countries to stop transmission and
    save lives."

    Tedros said the global supply of vaccines and diagnostics is not
    equitable at this time, and the WHO will work to ensure vaccines
    reach low-income countries.

    Earlier this week, the WHO updated its guidance for men who have
    sex with men (MSM), the group most at risk for infection. The
    agency urged MSM to be aware that symptoms can develop within 21
    days of contact with an infected person, and said MSM should
    self-isolate while waiting for test results.

    Our World in Data puts the global count at 14,179 cases.

    UK outbreak grows to 2,137 cases
    The UK Health Security Agency (UKHSA) said the country has 281
    new confirmed monkeypox cases, bringing the national total to
    2,137.

    The UKHSA also said it has ordered 100,000 more doses of
    Bavarian Nordic's monkeypox vaccine, in addition to the 30,000
    the National Health System had previously procured. MSM are
    being offered the vaccine.

    "Although most cases of monkeypox in the current outbreak are
    mild, severe illness can occur in some people, so it is
    important we use the available vaccine to reach groups where
    transmission is occurring," said Gayatri Amirthalingam, MD, the
    head of immunization at UKHSA. "We continue to urge anyone with
    a rash with blisters, or any other monkeypox symptoms, to take a
    break from events, meeting with friends, or having sexual
    contact."

    The agency also updated its guidance on close contacts of cases,
    saying close contacts no longer need to isolate for 21 days,
    unless they begin to show symptoms. Close contacts should,
    however, avoid sex, kissing, and hugging until the 21 days has
    passed.

    In other news, the United States has 136 more monkeypox cases,
    putting the total at 2,108. The number of affected jurisdictions
    remains at 45.

    New York has the most cases, with 581, followed by California,
    with 267. Illinois has 200 cases.
