[Speedskater]

So now it's H5 Bird Flu in North America.
Farm cats die from drinking raw milk.
Farm workers can catch the flu by being splashed with raw milk.
The US government unlearned everything from COVID.
and now:
The US Administration temporarily mutes Federal health officials.

H5N1 has been around since the 90s.

I think we all know if there is another outbreak of something under this regime, people will die again.

Just wonderful, isn't it?
He was elected. I guess the economy supersedes all else if you manage to live long enough.

Wait until Trump/Kennedy, shuts down the CDC. I think the research side has just been put on HOLD. To much money spending for R&D. Could be true and some waste.

In essence it is shut down. No communications with anyone. How do you do your job when communications outside the office is crucial.

And cannot even get any info from that health organization now.
Insanity at work.

I can assure you that if anything serious occurs on the horizon, Doctors will do their duty and get the information out, just not in official publications. The whole thing is a disgrace, and there are too many reasons to count, why Trump is unfit for office.

And it appears that this blatant dissregard for sanity will continue to get worse. How about our new Secretary of Defense? Truly frightening.

Yes, it is. Trump has halted all external communications from all of the Federal Health agents, so professionals can not even communicate with each other and with State Health Departments. This while H5 may well be reaching the tipping point. He is thinking about getting rid of FEMA. May be states should be at least drawing up plans to leave the union, as we may well be better off out of it.

That blocking of information went further than I thought and is quite bad, and the effects will be worse the longer this drags on. It could also be an early sign that the Trump admin will prettify health statistics the way authoritarian states like China and Russia does.
