-Africa CDC has a press conference scheduled tomorrow morning before markets open where they will likely declare monkeypox a "continental emergency" (an unprecedented declaration by Africa CDC)
-World health organization has an emergency meeting scheduled Wednesday to decide if the outbreak should be declared an international emergency (language from WHO suggests they will indeed declare the emergency)
-SIGA said in their earnings call Aug 1 that results from a clinical trial will be published "in the coming weeks" so any day now, there will be data proving the efficacy of tpoxx in humans
each of these is a major catalyst for SIGA
