Last Week Tonight with John Oliver — S09E19 — August 7, 2022: Monkeypox

00:00:23 LAST WEEK TONIGHT WITH JOHN OLIVER

00:01:58 after going to war with information.

00:03:32 and shown this image of her engulfed in flames.

00:04:56 Which is particularly despicable,

00:06:20 And saying to yourself, "Wait. Your time will come."

00:07:47 Walter. Butler, Indiana.

00:09:09 30 days in between calls, please, here on Washington Journal.

00:10:31 Its most obvious symptom is skin lesions,

00:11:58 and when the woman in question found out, this is how she responded.

00:13:23 exhaustion, headache, and a rash, though it can also cause

00:14:48 on this little plague-ridden Freddy Krueger.

00:16:12 And I want to believe the words of the head of the smallpox secretariat,

00:17:40 and its network of public-health labs", of which there are around 70.

00:19:15 We're gonna get our packages in 2 days and everything will be fixed.

00:20:46 weren't available at the start of this monkeypox outbreak,

00:22:25 I went to the website and the website crashed.

00:24:02 made things harder than they needed to be.

00:25:29 And that is where there are strong echoes

00:26:50 But it is also true that, while anyone can get it,

00:28:11 Consider the following ways to reduce the chance of spreading the virus.

00:29:39 Well, in the short term, the next six to eight weeks are going to be crucial.

00:31:10 Which is humiliatingly bad.

00:32:40 Good morning. Thanks for taking my call.

00:34:05 Thanks so much for watching, see you next week, good night!
