As the H5N1 (Avian Influenza, or Bird Flu) jumps from fowl to mammals, the outbreak has not only spread rapidly (causing egg prices to soar), last week the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) instructed hospitals to test patients because the required treatment is different than the standard flu shot. One cause is consuming or being exposed to raw milk or poultry products. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) and CDC (along with other medical agencies) release the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report (MMWR) to share the information to help medical personnel and laboratories to remain current on data. The MMWR is released every Thursday at 1:00pm.
Yesterday, there was no report. According to MedPage Today, Forbes, and Health Policy Watch, The White House halted research grants and issued a gag order "until a review can be done."
Do not drink raw milk. Do not consume raw or undercooked eggs or poultry.
