It's starting to feel a little bit like Groundhog's day, you know, two years ago, plus we were reporting on COVID,

but something else is on the horizon now, and this is what it looks like in the news. It's called Monkey Pops.

The stark warning about the Monkey Pops outbreak.

Powerful words from the head of the World Health Organization amid rising cases of Monkey Pops.

The global Monkey Pops outbreak represents a public health emergency of international concern.

A public health emergency.

A public health emergency.

Monkey Pops cases surge in more than 75 countries.

Here in the US, there are about 2,900 cases, including two children.

States across the country are struggling to get the Monkey Pops vaccine as cases are on the rise.

The US originally ordered 2.5 million vaccine.

They've now ordered an additional 2.5 million, but health officials admit they do not have enough vaccines to meet demand.

We got an allotment of 200 vaccines, and the appointments for that went in about an hour and a half.

The Biden administration considers whether it will also declare a public health emergency here in the US.

I think they're going to be reluctant to use the word pandemic because it implies that they've failed to contain this.

And I think at this point we've failed to contain this.

I think the window of it getting control is containing it. Probably has closed.

So far, the majority of the cases have happened in men.

We're intimate with other men, but officials stress this. Anyone can get this virus.

Yeah.

So, well, we have a public health emergency of international concern.

Basically, just that asks other countries to donate money to this.
