Sarah Asch writes:

The situation with the virus is somewhat complicated by the fact that the Trump administration has ordered federal health agencies like the CDC to pause public communications. “There’s still information about avian influenza on the CDC website. 

So if you want to find out where cases have been found up till last week – but I don’t know whether there’s been any new ones since then; that’s the kind of information that would be missing – but if you want to find out how to protect yourself where we’ve seen it again up to last week, what mammals have gotten infected, etc., that you can find out on the CDC website,” she said. “You can get information from your state health department.
