The Trump administration has stated that the CDC and other public health organizations cannot release any data or statements without first running them through the organization. So these public health orgs and the general public have not been communicating like they should during such a disaster. It’s insane and because of this we’re only at the tip of the bird flu iceberg.
Send help. Most of us didn’t sign up for this.

One thing someone else posted is that poultry farms are 1000 to 10000 times bigger in just number of poultry per facility in the USA, some news report speculation this issue is going to force USA poultry farms to vaccinate - this is already done in Mexico and much of EU including NL, but vaccination has been politicized in the USA and it would cut into profits sans bird flu and corporations run the show here. We know vaccination works because the countries that adapted it stopped it from infecting their farm stock.
It's still weird that it got so dramatically out of hand in the US this time.
