New York and San Francisco are ringing the alarm about monkeypox. |
The main mode of transmission has been prolonged, skin-to-skin contact. It's also possible to get monkeypox through bedding and respiratory droplets. And the virus is spreading…not as quickly as COVID-19, but more than anyone wants. In recent days, New York City and San Francisco became the first US cities to declare public health emergencies. The State of New York declared a disaster emergency. The US has recorded over 5,100 cases so far — the highest of any country. While no US deaths have been recorded yet, Spain just reported the first two in Europe. |

By declaring public health emergencies, officials can act more quickly on everything from tracking cases to administering vaccines. These recent moves also pressure the federal government to take similar action — something the Biden admin has yet to do. |
