we have a case of monkey pox confirmed in the state of Texas. I know. I don't like it in the United States. Little

alone Texas. So apparently this Texas resident who flew to Atlanta from Nigeria on July 8th with the final

destination of Dallas on July 9th. The CDC said that it's the first case of the virus seen in the United States in

nearly 20 years. The patient is hospitalized in isolation in Dallas and is in stable condition. Health

officials with Dallas County Health and Human Services have said, there's no reason for alarm. We

don't expect any threat to the general public. Oh, okay. So monkey pox was detected in the US in 2003.

Outbreak, which involved 47 people. That outbreak was traced to prairie dogs in the Midwest that

harbored the virus. Now the monkey pox skin spread from person to person through respiratory droplets or

got an incubation period, which is 10 to 14 days. So I mean, he landed here, you know, came into

Dallas on the ninth. And if you're listening live today, it is the 19th of July. And this happened

over the weekend, I think Friday, so that incubation period was there. So I don't know that he knows

how he got it. But we know that it can spread from animal to human, from human to human. We know

that it's you spread it either an animal bite or direct contact with an infected animal's bodily

fluids. And the virus can spread from human to human by both droplet and contact with the infected

person's bodily fluids. So we better be doing some contact tracing on this cause monkey pox. You don't
