Lawmakers gather information after Texas bird flu case

Roll Call ^ | April 4 | By Olivia Bridges

The first human case of avian influenza in Texas this week has prompted Congress to gather information about the risks to public health and agriculture.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention held a bipartisan briefing with congressional agriculture staff about the person infected after exposure to infected dairy cattle, according to a congressional aide. And members of Congress plan to schedule a meeting with the Agriculture Department, which announced last month that “there is no concern about the safety of the commercial milk supply or that this circumstance poses a risk to consumer health.”

The human case of bird flu in Texas, the second reported in the United States, comes as the House and Senate Agriculture committees are drafting a new farm bill that typically lasts for about five years and includes funding for the animal health system.

The last farm bill, enacted in 2018, provided $300 million for animal and health entities and initiatives between fiscal years 2019 and 2023. Congress extended that farm bill by a year, and it expires on Sept. 30.

The Texas case has launched a multiagency effort with the CDC, USDA, Food and Drug Administration, and Strategic Preparedness and Response Administration, which is part of the Department of Health and Human Services. Federal agencies are also collaborating with state-level entities, including veterinarian, animal and human health groups.

NUKE THE UTTERLY UNCONSTITUTIONAL CDC!!!!

[blackdog]

How is this not a comedy piece of news?

[ConservativeMind]

I want the CDC completely abolished.

The CDC has strayed from its primary directive and has become an instrument for the furtherance of liberal causes and the Democrat party. The continuing hiring of affirmative action hires has made it incapable of intelligent and competent actions, especially with the original purpose of the organization to monitor, identify and control infectious disease.

Gematria is the ancient practice of coding numbers into letters, assigning numeric values to words. A similar practice in Ancient Greece is referred to as Isopsephy. In both the Greek and Hebrew alphabets, letters also have numeric values.

It was developed by practitioners of Kabbalah (Jewish mysticism). Hebrew Gematria and Biblical Gematria are actively practiced today.

English Gematria is a newer practice, and believed by those who interpret events and news stories to reveal deeper meanings and hidden connections.

There are four base English ciphers - Ordinal, Reverse Ordinal, Reduction and Reverse Reduction.
