As federal officials move to address growing concerns over an outbreak of monkeypox in the U.S., an increasing number of positive cases are emerging across the country.
Last week, Brian Thomas, 32, of Baltimore became the latest American to test positive for monkeypox -- a diagnosis he has been sharing openly on social media, in the hope of curbing the spread by raising awareness about the disease.
"I probably first started hearing about monkeypox a month or two ago and I really kind of wrote it off," Thomas told ABC News. "You're always watching it happen to other people and you're like, 'oh, but probably not going to happen to me, probably not going to happen a lot in the States.'"

..."Prince’s close friend, actor Odette Annable, on Wednesday shared a tribute on Instagram, writing: “The unimaginable has happened and we have to say goodbye to another friend.”
"Will, it feels surreal writing this. Mostly because it feels like you were just getting started. The life and love that you gave to my best friend made it feel okay that we were thousands of miles apart," wrote Annable, who starred in the 2010 film “You Again.”
"What a gift you gave to everyone who knew you to witness the passion that burned in your soul. The passion to help people, to build your business, to find happiness like I’d never seen from you living in North Carolina with Bevin," she continued.
Annable said Friend was "perfect" for Prince in "every way."
"You supported her dreams, you made her feel seen, you adored her with every bit of your soul," she wrote. "Being here with Bevin, hearing her share stories about you and your love breaks my heart for her, because she lost the love of her life and the world lost a really really good one."
The couple celebrated their fifth wedding anniversary in May 2021.
At the time, Prince shared photos from their nuptials on Instagram. In a caption that accompanied the post, she wrote: “5 years, baby. Winston and I are so lucky to know you, to love you, and to learn with you. We have come so far and I am so proud of the life we have built. You make life delicious, my love. I love you.”
Friend was credited with transforming Bisnow “from a local events business into a multichannel data, events, news and intelligence platform for the multitrillion-dollar commercial real estate market,” the company's tribute said."
