The WHO has now declared monkeypox a “public health emergency of international concern.”  Cases have continued to rise worldwide and has not necessarily grown out of control, but it has the potential to do so.  Part of this is to also raise awareness for people to know symptoms, warning signs, and look out for guidelines.  Keren Landman, epidemiologist and senior health reporter at Vox, joins us for what to know.
