The recent 'blackout' imposed by President Trump on federal health agencies, restricting external communication, may hinder the ability of healthcare professionals and the public to effectively respond to the growing threat of bird flu. This move could lead to a lack of critical information, exacerbating the situation. With the spread of bird flu on the rise, it is essential to have timely and accurate updates from federal health agencies, utilizing digital health technologies and public health strategies to combat the disease. The blackout may compromise these efforts, putting the public at risk. Key health organizations are concerned about the potential consequences.
