Monkeypox is also spreading rapidly in the country after Kovid 19. American actor Matt Ford has shared how dangerous monkeypox is through social media. In a video shared by Matt on Twitter, Matt says that the disease has left him very tired and he cannot sleep at night.
He also opened up about the US government’s slow response to the virus, which has infected more than 142 people in the country. The government needs to speed up vaccines and testing. “The slow response is unacceptable,” Matt said.
Matt added that he contracted the virus through skin-to-skin contact and started showing symptoms a week after contracting the disease in Los Angeles. The initial symptoms were fever, chills and fatigue.

Matt says monkeypox is no joke and should not be taken lightly. Matt tweeted that he should be ready to get vaccinated if possible and not let down his guard. He said he could not sleep at night without taking painkillers.
