A new strain of a highly pathogenic bird flu known as H7N9 has surfaced at a poultry farm in Mississippi where chickens are raised for breeding.
There is only a single staffer remaining in the White House Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy. This report comes today alongside a new report of H7N9 avian flu among a flock in Mississippi (the first H7N9 report since 2017).
