NEW YORK (AP) — Two children have been diagnosed with monkeypox in the U.S., health officials said Friday.
One is a toddler in California and the other an infant who is not a U.S. resident but was tested while in Washington, D.C., according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The children were described as being in good health and receiving treatment. How they caught the disease is being investigated, but officials think it was through household transmission.
Called it that this would become another pandemic.
Luckily this particular monkeypox variant is not particularly deadly but it is painful.
There are serious problems at the World Health Organization with it's responsiveness to stuff and it is beyond time for some accountability at that organization and a change of leadership.
Had they responded appropriately in the early days of COVID and declared an emergency in January there in my opinion was a good chance that we never would have had a pandemic. Same thing with fuckin' monkeypox.
