🚨 Avian Flu Outbreak Spreads in the U.S. 🦠 The avian flu continues to spread, affecting both animals and humans, with 67 cases reported in the U.S. since 2024. The CDC states the public health risk is currently low. In response, New York Governor Kathy Hochul ordered a temporary closure of live poultry markets in some counties after new cases emerged. Additionally, a strain of the virus was detected in cows in Nevada, indicating greater persistence than previously thought. However, the Trump administration has limited the release of bird-flu data and has not prioritized addressing the outbreak. This has included halting studies related to the virus and censoring information on possible transmission between humans and pets. Egg prices are also anticipated to rise significantly due to the outbreak. #AvianFlu #PublicHealth #NewYork
