After California Governor Gavin Nelson issued a state of emergency, the LA County Board of Supervisors issued a proclamation Tuesday morning that declares Monkeypox a local emergency. California has confirmed nearly 800 Monkeypox cases, with almost half of those being reported in Los Angeles County. Monkeypox is a DNA virus where as coronavirus is an RNA virus. In short, RNA viruses make more mistakes in their genetic code when replicating than DNA viruses. More mistakes mean more mutations. Fortunately there are already vaccines for monkey pox and more vaccine centers are being set up throughout the county. Check all lates info here: http://publichealth.lacounty.gov/media/monkeypox/
