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.”

nah, there is no meaningful opposition to him at this point. the opposing party is bought and paid for by israel, and as long as the genocide goes on, they rake in the dough to keep their party apathetic.

Drump is even worse in that regard, or am I mistaken? I think he's worse in every regard imaginable.

Not only by Israel. Israel is only one of a very long list of participants for the auction of who gets to dictate the DNC's policy platform.

true, Jon Stewart pretty much identified that as the primary driver of the apathy towards to the Dem party in his podcasts since the election. Now they are fighting harder against the internal dnc people that advocate change than the republicans. Even if it is from the emergency room for a broken hip to get the chemo patient placed infront of AOC on a committee spots, they have no values when it comes to attacking their own party

I mean you gotta both sides when it's both sides, unless you think Chuck "lay dead" Schumer is viable opposition.
