US Monkeypox Outbreak Is Worse Than CDC's Initial Report

Although initial reports of the monkeypox outbreak in the United States didn't raise alarms some experts fear the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has underestimated the severity. NPR reports many of those who have tested positive for monkeypox haven't traveled or come into contact with others confirmed to have carried the virus which leads health experts to believe the virus has cryptically spread in communities around the country.
