0:00.0	This week in virology, the podcast about viruses, the kind that make you sick.
0:10.4	From microbe TV, this is twiv this week in virology, episode 926 recorded on August 11th,
0:19.1	2022. I'm Vincent Drakenyllo and you're listening to the podcast all about viruses joining me today
0:26.8	from New York. Daniel Griffin. Hello, everyone. So Daniel, we have COVID, we have monkeypox,
0:34.3	we have polio, and now there's a new henna-povires in China that's infecting people and it seems to come
0:40.6	from shrews. Oh my goodness, viruses, they must be important, Daniel. You know, I already put that

1:56.8	the Monkey Pucks update, the Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Bacchera declared the
2:03.9	Monkey Pucks outbreak a public health emergency on Thursday, August 4th, 2022. And this is actually
2:10.5	important for helping strip away a bit of the bureaucracy that's been sort of standing in the way
2:16.1	of us moving forward. And that bureaucracy, it's important, right? We, you know, and I think we
