    As WeHo explores H5 Bird Flu resources, it needs to be aware that the US Dept of Health & Human Services (which oversees federal health agencies) has been ordered by the Trump Admin. to cease all public communications. While supposedly temporary, it includes the stoppage of important updates like the CDC's Morbidity & Mortality Weekly Report and indicates intent on Trump's part to control the narrative on health news. City staff may need to rely more on State and County health dept resources.
