  • The US government announced a funding allocation of $306 million to enhance its response to bird flu before the transition to President-elect Donald Trump.
  • Health Secretary Xavier Becerra reassured that while the risk to humans is low, preparedness is essential for public health safety.
  • The US has documented 66 human cases of bird flu this year, with experts fearing the actual number might be higher due to underreporting.
  • The upcoming Trump administration has raised concerns regarding its approach to pandemic preparedness, particularly with the potential dissolution of the Office of Pandemic Preparedness.
  • Experts warn that the ongoing circulation of bird flu in animals could lead to a mutated strain capable of human transmission, potentially triggering a severe health crisis.
