Representatives Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.), Richie Torres (D-N.Y.) and Val Demings (D-Fla.) wrote a letter to the Government Accountability Office (GAO) on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>The three Democrats asked the agency to conduct a review of the response due to concerns about the virus spreading over the past two months because of delays in procuring tests as well as vaccines. The letter also included a request for the GAO to figure out if any agencies learned anything from the response of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">House Homeland Security Chair <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/BennieGThompson?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@BennieGThompson<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/valdemings?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@valdemings<\/a>, and I are calling on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/USGAO?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@USGAO<\/a> to investigate the federal government\u2019s delayed response to the Monkeypox outbreak. <\/p>\n<p>The US should spare no effort to secure the homeland from infectious disease. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/plEonSBXBm\">https:\/\/t.co\/plEonSBXBm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Ritchie Torres (@RitchieTorres) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RitchieTorres\/status\/1554470383419621376?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 2, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>According the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), there are now more than 5,000 cases of monkeypox in the US.
