more likely this is a natural occurrence sars cov 1 animal reservoir to a human. we still don t know what the argument is. it is more likely to be a natural jumping of species from an animal reservoir to a human. jesse: but the first liberals who dared to think logically were the comedians there s a novel respiratory virus overtaking china, what do we do? do you know who we can ask the wuhan novel respiratory coronavirus lab. the disease is the same name as the lab. [laughter] that s just a little too weird, don t you think? there has been an outbreak of chocolaty goodness near hershey pennsylvania. what do you think happened? like, oh, i don t know. maybe steam shovel made it with a cocoa bean or it s the [bleep] chocolate factory.
neil: dock, in all the years you served, in capacities, the list of outbreaks you ve had to handle are staggering. hiv, ebola, the bird flu, obviously the pandemic flu, covid. it seems that every few years we re dealing with something of this magnitude. covid was its own case, i get that. we seem vulnerable as a world population, as a species, for these things. what do you think? i think what you re describing is the unfortunate reality that we have continual emergence and reemergence of infectious diseases, almost invariably, getting back to our prior conversation about the origin of covid, invariably jumping from an animal reservoir to a human. we see that with hiv. we see that with ebola. we see that with bird flu.
and i will stand strongly behind it. dana: congressman from new jersey, thank you. bill: about 25 past now. police feel under siege. two officers shot and killed and ambushed in cold blood. another cop shot and wounded in a separate attack. that troubling trend continues. plus will we ever know the origins of covid? why would a team from the world health organization finally turn their attention to a lab in wuhan? there is every reason to believe that the jumping of species from an animal reservoir occurred. home pricese breaking records. now is the time to turn your home equity into cash. you can get at least 25% more cash at newday than you get at a bank. 25% more cash to make home improvements. 25% more cash to pay bills. 25% more cash for retirement. call now and get an average of $60,000. veterans get more at newday usa.
africa. it seems genetically like it is the west african strain that is circulating. so now it is circulating. so now it is circulating within particular pockets of populations, particularly in urban areas which is different from the natural sites of west africa where it is normally confined to rural areas and the interesting thing about monkeypox is that although we know a lot about the biology of the virus, we don t necessarily fully understand the epidemiology of it. so it is likely to be usually confined to animal populations and then spilling over into human populations. but we don t know what the animal reservoir is but we know that human to human transmission is not usually the most important method of transmission. sorry to interrupt, talk to me a bit about the transmission, how is it being transmitted and how can people, you know, prevent that transmission if possible? yes.
highly contagious. probably a few more cases than what we know about in massachusetts and the one being investigated in new york, this is a pox likes virus. gives flu-like symptoms and swollen lymph nodes and turns into a rash where you see like a chicken pox, measles or small pox like family of viruses. charles: why is it spreading now? if it s been around so long and most people have never heard of it, why out in? it lives in animal reservoirs. the previous cases that have been seen, the first case in 1958 was among monkeys confined together for research purposes. a outbreak in the midwest in the united states years ago only among an ma ams. that was among imported an ma ams that were together. we re probably seeing an animal reservoir transfer this over to a human.
