The egg farm was impacted by bird flu “Unfortunately, we have been previously affected by bird flu, and we know the necessary steps to mitigate further spread,” Rose Acre Farms said in a series of posts on social media. On Thursday, Massachusetts officials said that evidence suggests the virus is “widespread” in the state, and is “likely present even in places where there has not been a confirmed positive.” Bird flu killed dozens of geese in Ohio and a more rare strain was recently found on a duck farm in California. Prices have soared amid bird flu and the cullings of millions of birds How the Trump administration will respond to outbreaks largely remains a mystery, although its halt of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Weekly Scientific Report has stalled some related research, according to KFF Health News. When asked about bird flu during his confirmation hearing on Wednesday, Health and Human Services Department Secretary nominee Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., told senators that he intends to devote the appropriate resources to preventing pandemics.
