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

    More than 3,800 monkeypox cases have been reported in the US,
    the most of any country around the globe, government health data
    shows.

    The rising number of cases has reportedly prompted the Biden
    administration to mull declaring a national health emergency.

    The virus has already been classified as a global health
    emergency by the World Health Organization (WHO).

    To date, more than 18,000 cases have been reported in 75
    countries.

    According to data published online by the US Centers for Disease
    Control and Prevention (CDC), as of 25 July there were 3,846
    confirmed or suspected monkeypox cases in the US.

    The figure - which comes amid expanded testing in addition to
    the growing outbreak of the virus - is now ahead of that of
    Spain, where 3,105 cases have so far been reported.

    The two other countries with the highest number of infections,
    Germany and the UK, have reported 2,352 and 2,208 cases,
    respectively.

    What is monkeypox and how do you catch it?
    Monkeypox: Handing out health advice without stigma

    With cases in the US rising, the Washington Post on 25 July
    reported that the Biden administration was considering declaring
    a public health emergency.

    The measure would allow the government to use federal funds to
    combat the outbreak, raise public awareness and better collect
    relevant health data.

    Additionally, the administration is reportedly preparing to name
    a coordinator to oversee the government's response to monkeypox
    from the White House.

    On July 21, 50 Democratic lawmakers sent an open letter to
    President Joe Biden, urging him to declare a public health
    emergency and send millions of vaccine doses to the US from
    manufacturing facilities overseas.

    While officials have said that gay and bisexual men - as well as
    healthcare workers - have so far been most at risk, fears are
    mounting that the virus could spread to other segments of the
    population.

    On 22 July, the US confirmed the first cases of monkeypox in
    children.

    The US response to the virus has so far been plagued by vaccine
    shortages and a slow start to testing, leading some to compare
    the situation to the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic in early
    2020.

    In Washington DC, for example, officials have warned that a
    "rapid increase in cases", coupled with a "very limited" supply
    of vaccines, means that authorities must prioritise high-risk
    residents.

    The city currently has the highest per capita total of
    infections, with 172 cases reported in the district.

    Most monkeypox cases are mild, with initial symptoms including a
    high fever, swollen lymph nodes and a blistery, chickenpox-like
    rash or lesions.

    So far, no deaths from the virus have been reported in the US.
