And have quicker responses. As with Covid..just a couple of people here in the states but it was spreading quickly in other places n people travel from all over. Next thing we know, it’s everywhere n we all know the ramifications of not responding faster. If we need vaccines, then get em out quickly. We have vaccines for monkeypox unlike Covid. Let’s ramp up the production n get the people vaxxed. Just today I heard a teacher is infected n now the children are exposed..these spread so fast. Guess I’m ranting but we need to do better. Jmo
