Health officials are making a renewed call for vigilance against bird flu, but some experts are puzzling over why reports of new human cases have stopped.

Has the search for cases been weakened by government cuts? Are immigrant farm workers, who have accounted for many of the U.S. cases, more afraid to come forward for testing amid the Trump administration’s deportation push? Is it just a natural ebb in infections?

“We just don’t know why there haven’t been cases,” said Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University. “I think we should assume there are infections that are occurring in farmworkers that just aren’t being detected.”

This US administration is truly a danger to the entire world.

Could you please finally lock Drump and his henchmen up for all their crimes and put some halfway decent people in their place?

No, because that should have happened during Biden's tenure. I still contend Trump should have been hanged for treason and his Jan 6th buddies got off too lite. Now they're pardoned and emboldened and Trump thinks he has the mandate of "the people" even though over half of us that voted did not vote for him. Sets a pretty bad precedent when someone can get away with standing up and calling for violence and to disregard the results of an election. Trump should have been made an example of - instead he's now president because we live in the dumbest timeline.

It's probably going to get worse before it gets better. The next few years will be a key point in future history classes. We're staring at an existential threat to our Republic and I'm not sure we will survive it.

At least we successfully prevented the justice department from having the appearance of pursuing partisan goals. That would have been the worst possible outcome.

Lol, the fact that people would consider it partisan to prosecute someone leading an attempt to violently change the results of an election in essentially a coup attempt is a great reminder of how fucked we truly are.
