Bird Flu: Asymptomatic Infections May Spread Undetected
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Findings
A study by the CDC has revealed that some individuals may be infected with bird flu without exhibiting any symptoms. The study randomly tested 150 veterinarians for bird flu antibodies, indicating a recent infection. Surprisingly, three veterinarians specializing in cattle tested positive despite reporting no flu-like symptoms.
This finding adds to growing evidence suggesting that people can have asymptomatic bird flu infections. The implications of this are significant, as it means the virus may be spreading undetected in the population.
Trump’s Reciprocal Tariffs
President Donald Trump has instructed his administration to implement reciprocal tariffs on countries that impose fees on U.S. exports. This move is expected to result in higher costs for American consumers.
Tech Industry Job Cuts
The tech industry is experiencing a wave of job cuts, leaving highly-skilled workers searching for employment. Many of these individuals were hired during the early years of the pandemic when there was a hiring surge in tech companies due to shifting consumer habits.
However, as companies restructure their priorities, they are slimming down areas that were vital during the pandemic and investing in others. This has led to a challenging hiring environment for unemployed tech workers, who face more competition than their laid-off counterparts in recent years.
