U.S. Declares State Of Emergency?
This is unreal.
As the United States economy strives to recover from the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic, CNN’s network medical analyst Dr. Leana Wen is now telling the United States that it’s time to “declare a state of emergency” over the recent monkeypox outbreak.
According to Breitbart, just last week the World Health Organization recommended to gay and bisexual men to reduce their number of intimate partners “for the moment” to prevent the spread of monkeypox.
As a result, Dr. Wen said the declaring a state of emergency would “allow the Biden administration to appoint a monkeypox czar” so they can properly combat the virus.
“I do think it’s time for the U.S. to declare a state of emergency … because that will allow for a much better-coordinated response,” Wen outlined. “It will allow the Biden administration to appoint a monkeypox czar to oversee these efforts. It will also allow for more resources to be put into this as well. I hope that the window hasn’t closed. I think that there is still an opportunity just to underscore why this is the case. Monkeypox may not be as fatal as a lot of other illnesses, but we don’t want another disease that we have to worry about in perpetuity if it takes hold here,” Wen said.
Wen then added, “Also, we don’t want it to affect the most vulnerable, including young children and pregnant women. That hasn’t really happened as much yet here in the U.S., but we want to contain it before that happens.”
