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.
