Despite the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) declaring a public health emergency last week, one key expert is still hopeful that the virus can be contained before it develops into a full fledged outbreak.Dr Scott Gottlieb, former head of the Food and Drug Administration and current board member at pharma-giant , told on Sunday that while difficult, it is possible to prevent monkeypox from becoming an endemic virus - a prospect officials likely failed with Covid.He says that the response to the virus has to be wider to control it, though. At the moment, testing has mainly been reserved to just gay and bisexual men - who make up a overwhelming majority of cases. Gottlieb believes that more cases would be found if testing was expanded beyond just that community.
