there is sustained on going human-to-human transmission outside of the democratic republic of congo or n nigerias virus is not as transmissible as something such as covid and contract tracing is more straightforward because there is a tell tale rash and the tact that we already have in hand because of smallpox and there is some cross protection because of concerns about bioterrorism around smallpox in the early 2000s, we have stockpiled three different vaccines for smallpox and two anti-viral treatments so we're much better prepared forring this ththan something like covid so i have some optimism that we could keep this fairly contained. but it is quite interesting and concerning that we're seeing these multiple faux outbreaks. >> it is good to hear that we have some of the protection already in place and we'll be keeping a close eye on that. dr. peter hotez, thank you so much for your time today. >> thank you. >>> in court, actress ellen barken calls her ex boyfriend johnny depp a jealous and controlling man. you'll be hearing new testimony from depp's multimillion-dollar defamation case agains

outbreaks in multiple countries meaning historically we've seen transmission in nigeria and democratic republic of congofferent countries, and there's been ongoing transmission in several different countries. solve, we have 17 suspects or actual cases in montreal, around 20 cases in spain, several cases in the uk, sweden, and now australia, and two cases in the u.s. so, trying to understand how all that unfolded and what level of transmission is going on within these other new countries in europe, australia, and the u.s. is what's under active investigation right now. >> and you're right to distinguish it from covid-19 in the sense of the fatality risk in particular of monkeypox. so, do we know -- to date, no one has actually died in the outbreak in comparison of course to covid-19. but i'm not clear on what the symptoms are. obviously the apparent pos tulles around the body would be a clear indication. are there things that would predate during the incubation period, for example, that we should be aware of? >> one of the big features is swollen lymph nodes around the test, so wellings around the neck,

one of the forms in central africa and democratic republic of congo and wes africa and nigeria.e variant that comes out of nigeria. you're seeing what looks like ongoing human to human transmission in at least a dozen countries. so the concern this will continue to accelerate and will go considerably above the 400 current suspected and known cases. i think the good news to consider, though, is that this is a virus that's far less transmissible than covid-19. it's not a virus that you inhale in aerosol. it's close, intimate contact. there's a long incubation period so it's possible to isolate individuals. if necessary in the u.s., anyway, we have two vaccine stockpiles initially stockpiled for purposes of smallpox but we believe this will protect against monkeypox as well. so there's nowhere near that level of alarm as covid-19. on the other hand, the cases, we will continue to see more cases. and exactly what the end game is still a little bit murky until this eventually burns itself out. >> and to that point the world health organization says there is a good window of opportuni
