TikToker Goes On “McDonald’s Run” While Suffering From Monkeypox, Twitter Disgusted
“What’s good, y’all? My bad, I’m not in the house. I had to go make a McDonald’s run ’cause I ain’t got no groceries. I ain’t got no food,” he says in the upload. Once that disclaimer was out of the way, he issued a brief PSA, encouraging people to look out for themselves and not contract monkeypox. “I just wanted to make this video to remind y’all to be careful who you f**k with,” he proclaims. “Because not everybody who you f**k with is gonna f***k with you.” Bruh…what?! We’re willing to be there are social services that could have sent along some food. Or since he has the money for the food and gas, he could have ordered takeout and have the delivery person leave it at his door. So, make it make sense. Also, he’s reportedly pushing his music with all the attention, but we’re good. ...
Monkeypox Declared A Public Health Emergency In The U.S.
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Alex Wong / Getty As the number of monkeypox cases has risen in the United States, the federal government has seen enough to declare it a public health emergency. On Thursday (August 4th), the Biden administration declared that the monkeypox outbreak was a significant enough risk to Americans to declare a public health emergency. The declaration by Health Secretary Xavier Becerra makes it the fifth time it has been used since 2001, and it allows federal agencies the power to expeditiously direct money towards evaluating and developing drugs and vaccines. The declaration also releases emergency funding and allows for the hiring of additional workers. “We’re prepared to take our response to the next level,” Secretary Becerra said during the briefing held at...

Monkeypox, y’all—f***** monkeypox. According to WTOP News, Washington D.C. is currently experiencing the largest outbreak of monkeypox per capita in the nation with a reported 122 cases, which, fortunately, no one has died from. And now, D.C.health officials are distributing a monkeypox vaccine to citizens as fast as federal healthcare sources can make them available.

WHO Advisor Suggests Monkeypox Spread by European Raves
Dr. David Heymann, former head of the World Health Organization’s (WHO) emergencies department and now a leading advisor, suggested that sexual transmission at two raves in Spain and Belgium may have spurred the recent outbreak of Monkeypox. However, names and details of the events were not shared. “We know monkeypox can spread when there is close contact with the lesions of someone who is infected, and it looks like sexual contact has now amplified that transmission,” Heymann told The Associated Press. Symptoms of Monkeypox—similar to past cases of smallpox though clinically less severe—include fevers, chills, muscle pains, headaches, and lesions on the face or genitals. The recovery period is usually a few weeks and does not require hospitalization. In the past, Monkeypox has typically s...
What Is Monkeypox And Its Health Risks?
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: SOPA Images / Getty The confirmation of an outbreak of the monkeypox virus last week has many concerned as two cases have been confirmed in the United States. But initial reporting has left a space for confusion about the virus and the risks with COVID-19 still prevalent. We’ve taken some time to provide some clarity in this article. Officials with the World Health Organization have confirmed that while 160 cases of monkeypox have been discovered in the U.S. and 12 European nations along with Israel and Australia, they are confident that the spread can be stopped as these are countries where it is considered non-endemic. “As surveillance expands, we do expect that more cases will be seen. But we need to put this into context because it’s not Covid,” said ...
