Mayor Sylvester Turner, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and other health officials came together to give the public an update on the current monkeypox situation.
HOUSTON — A public health emergency -- that's how Houston Mayor Sylvester Turner described the current status of monkeypox in the city.
There are now 57 confirmed cases across the Houston area.
On Monday, Turner, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo and health officials came together to give the public an update on the current situation.
“We are the fourth largest and the most diverse in the country and we need more vaccines,” Turner said. "The number of cases in the Houston area is rising, and because of the limited supply of the vaccine, it is still very concerning. If you think you have monkeypox symptoms, please speak first with your doctor and get tested."
There is some confusion over who can get the virus. It's not just men who have sex with men -- anyone can get it.
"Anyone can get monkeypox. That is not limited to any one population. Just this Friday, we learned of the first two children who were diagnosed with monkeypox," Hidalgo said.
During Monday's news conference, Hidalgo laid out the current plan for the vaccine doses the county has its hands on right now. She said only those who have been exposed or are at high risk qualify to get the vaccine through the health department. She encouraged testing and said it should be easy to find a location to be tested at.

Is the judge or mayor up for reelection in november? May explain a lot....
BTTT!!!
It’s the “local leaders” that need the doses. Houston has pretty much gone all out gay. They’re competing with Austin for the “Rainbow of the Year” trophy.
Here we go again. Remember AIDS?
I am gonna laugh my a$$ off when a bunch of rednecks start getting this and have to eat crow. All it takes is one handshake , or a sit down on a toilet seat after someone else used it. Unlike HIV virus which is not formite spread monkeypox absolutely is spread by formites up to days after contact with infected materials.
Look at the viral loads of the soap dispenser, the toilet handle and the toilet seats. Those kinds of viral loading will certainly inoculate someone else but hey don’t let actual science get in the way of self soothing cuz look at me I’m not a fag. It’s replicating in that community now and has branched out already to women and children.
For a good read look for the ten year-old who got it in Turkey his family of five went out of their way to be safe and one of their kids still got the bug. They vaccinated the rest immediately so it will never be known if the others were exposed the vaccine blocks symptoms if given before a person is symptomatic. Th at ten year-old was not buggering with anyone and his parents brought their own towels and linens to the hotel. So riddle me this bat man without direct contact with the gays and their own towels and linens how did the little chap get it? Daddy was not symptomatic and was with the family the whole time. The medical community’s take is he was exposed via a shared eating utensil such as a plate, cup ,or forks that were not properly sanitized. Think about that for a second given that saliva is loaded with pox virus. One crappy dishwasher and dozens could be exposed from a single person eating and turning their cup in. Have you ever watched a bar take used glasses dunk them once in the three sinks each then put them back in the rack for the next smuck. Yeah that triple dunk is not sterilizing those glasses in the least. When this bug gets a good foothold it will be like it’s nearly identical cousin smallpox nearly impossible to get rid of without a full on eradication effort just like it’s genetic DNA twin of smallpox. Scientists have warned since the 1980s that once smallpox was eradicated and the smallpox vaccine stopped being used monkeypox would take it’s place. This is how virus work in real.life. Wishing it away won’t work, ignoring it won’t work and it will keep growing exponentially like is currently is until real.scientific steps are taken to stop it. No amounts of qtard quackery will make it magically disappear it is past critical mass now and a global problem it’s on all 6 of 7 continents inhabited by humans.
Here how about some real quantifiable data and sscience not internet BS and political belly aching. Comprehend it for those with the mental facilities to do so.

Kills people! It petrifies me because girls be hanging out with them. One night they could be in the club having fun with their gay friend, give them a little kiss. And go home with AIDS on their lips! And then when her husband, like five years later, Somebody says:
“Mr. Johnson you have aids..”
“AIDS?! But I’m not homosexual!”
“Sure you’re not homosexual...”
-Eddie Murphy (Delirious)
Exactly...........................
Children are victims of gays so naturally they are apt to get it.
“Why don’t our queer overlords ask the perverts to abstain from sex “
Or use condoms, or saran wrap.
Wow! I lived there for a few weeks once. Was single pinching pennies.
Yes, undoubtedly. One would have to be a complete fool not to see it. But gays and their helpers will fight that distinction to the very end.
So covid is let out of a lab and we all have to stay home and wear masks until a vaccine comes along, but we can’t tell gay men to refrain from sex until they are vaccinated?
Srsly?
Shirley you jest!
Where ever gays are promiscuous sexual diseases follow.
So I guess even though 57 cases now they are expecting thousands in the very near future.
The only ones I feel bad for are the wives and children of the Down Lowers!
Anyone can get it, yet they want to ignore the key demographic that is spreading it.
I work in the area. It has changed a lot. Many of the old houses that used to be divided and rented out as duplexes or triplexes have been torn down and replaced with 3-story condos. Some of the prominent gay bars like Mary’s Biker Bar are gone and have been replaced with upscale restaurants.
Has Houston shut down all the gay sex bars, or are they considered essential businesses?

Under SCAMdemic 2.0.( tm)
Yes.
I am gonna laugh my a$$ off when a bunch of rednecks start getting this and have to eat crow. All it takes is for the monkeys to smear their pee/poo on everything in public to get the propaganda narrative started.
So that’s the plan huh ?
Thanks for the heads up.
