Monkeypox is a disease that surfaces periodically, but the current wave of it has some public health officials worried. The world is still mired in new COVID-19 variants, causing thousands of cases, so another public health emergency is certainly not welcome. The Biden administration has empowered the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to respond to the monkeypox as U.S. cases of the disease rise.
GovExec correspondent Courtney Bublé is covering the monkeypox outbreak. She joined the podcast to talk about the federal response to the disease’s spread.
