department of health and human services. what can we expect following this public health emergency? >> a public health emergency is another tool in our toolkit to fight monkeypox. it will unlock new levers. for example, cdc will be able to find more sources of data so we can calibrate our response accordingly. it also allows the fda to look and consider another way to get more out of one dose of vaccine, possibly expanding vaccine supply. luz: talk to us about the shift in usage of doses. >> the fda is looking at ways they can change the emergency use authorization of the vaccine in a way where you can get more out of one file of vaccine. >> the u.s. government failed to

promptly order more vaccines when it's outbreak started in april, and was slow and flat-footed, so other countries got in line ahead of us. it did not need to be this way. i'm concerned we are now at a point where it much be harder or impossible to truly control this outbreak. luz: following a fast increase in cases in california, new york, and illinois, these states declared public health emergencies before the federal government. >> the main hope is that it will make it easier for people to get access to medication to treat monkeypox and easier to get new kinds of monkeypox tests approved and available to people. luz: regarding testing, the government set about 80,000 tests have been administered per week. that's key because even when exposed, it takes about three weeks to experience symptoms.

larry: is the government expediting doses? when does the government expect more? luz: according to the white house, they just ordered 5.5 million were doses of the vaccine, but they are coming from a company in denmark, so people are asking when we will receive those here. i was told by the white house that 150,000 are coming in november. how many will be see in california? that is yet to be seen. larry: here is a clips at how health officials are handling the monkeypox vaccine as shipments arrive in the bay area. santa clara county receiving its latest shipment it was immediately unpacked, put on ice, and refrigerated. karina: the student housing construction project at berkeley's people's park remains on hold following yesterday's clash between police and protesters. two officers were hurt and some equipment was vandalized.

compelling points as to what invites -- why rights may be violated. legal analyst steve clark also argues the requirement may be seen as a way to limit access to guns of people cannot get insurance. >> those insurance companies are not going to cover criminal acts. they will only cover accidental shootings so things like gilroy garlic shooting and the vta shooting will not be covered by insurance, and those victims will not receive insurance settlements. justin: the ordinance was delayed from originally starting in just a few days due to litigation. the mayor says the city has filed a motion to dismiss the case so we can hopefully go into effect later this year. >> we will obviously continue this fight and in the meantime be ready to implement this ordinance because it is essential to protect the safety of our community. karina: we have breaking news to
