White House declares monkeypox a public health emergency (deaths, money, million)

Yes, AND the fact that it is only spread by very close and frequent contact. https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID...monkeypox.aspx

Monkeypox can be spread through:

Direct skin-skin contact with rash lesions

Sexual/intimate contact, including kissing

Living in a house and sharing a bed with someone

Sharing towels or unwashed clothing

Respiratory secretions through prolonged face-to-face interactions (the type that mainly happen when living with someone or caring for someone who has monkeypox)

Monkeypox is NOT spread through:

Casual brief conversations

Walking by someone with monkeypox, like in a grocery store

But why waste an opportunity to scare (and control) the masses, right?

It will be interesting to see if the CDC will update the above to make it much more scary. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if that happens or if they declare that the original monkeypox has mutated into a much more dangerous virus. No, that would not surprise me one little bit!

If schools start seeing a lot of cases that will probably be one response. That, and trying to figure out how a disease that, at least right now, is limited to a fairly small subset of the population is being spread to non-adults.

They are bound and determined to find a virus/disease to help them cheat in 2022 election. The left is so predictable.

What they should declare as emergencies -

The border
Inflation
Supply Chain issues
Reliance on China

Instead they declare Monkeypox as an emergency. Something almost none of us will get and if we do we will itch for 1 week.

America leads the world in infections.

This statement should worry everyone.

“We are prepared to take our response to the next level in addressing this virus, and we urge every American to take monkeypox seriously and to take responsibility to help us tackle this virus,” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra said during a briefing.

We've seen this administration go "Next Level" and November is right around the corner. Right now I wouldn't put anything past them.

Any insane restrictions they try and put in will likely negate any advantage the abortion thing gave them. This election isn’t really inside the margin of fraud at all and they’ll never get Republican states to go along with VBM anyhow so not sure how much they’d gain by trying this again

So far no governing body is recommending any restrictions.

AIDS was a health emergency with zero restrictions.

I suspect we will see a similar reaction.
