A recent 60-minute report on Bird Flu sounded the alarm on the spread of the disease, from birds, to cows, to humans. It is now spreading to other mammals and scientists, and infectious disease specialists are concerned that if we don't get a handle on it soon, bird flu could spiral into a pandemic that would make covid look like a "walk in the park." The Biden Administration was slow to put programs into place to test for the virus and the Trump Administration has laid off hundreds of CDC Scientists and health workers who track bird flu. Now, there are talks of more cuts to the Centers for Disease Control and other federal health agencies. What does this all mean for your health? Dr. Keith Newby discusses how the cuts impact public health. Also, WHRV Jazz Producer Jae Sinnett gives in-sight into the Hampton Roads Jazz Incorporated celebration of the life and legacy of Newport News native Ella Fitzgerald. This and all Another View Programs can be heard on demand on the show program page.
