From Washington State University Extension, this is Susie Craig.
Do you have backyard chickens? Bird flu is spreading from birds to cows, and though rare to people. So far, most human cases of bird flu have been mild, in people exposed to infected animals. The infection lasts from a few days to two weeks. 
If you’re around poultry, cows, or raw, unpasteurized milk, get medical help immediately if you experience eye redness, fever, cough, sore throat, muscle aches, or shortness of breath. Eye redness is often the first symptom. Symptoms may be mild to severe, and two to five days after exposure. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommend seeking immediate medical attention with symptoms. Antiviral treatment works best when started within the first two days.

This is Food Safety in a Minute with Expert Tips from Susie Craig.

Given the price of eggs, are you thinking about a backyard chicken coop? “Don’t wing it,” says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Carefully consider whether backyard chickens are a good fit. 

Before getting birds:
•	Check neighborhood regulations.
•	Research breeds and supplies used to care for them.
•	Secure an outdoor coop with heat source and fire alarm.
•	Locate poultry veterinarians and university Extension experts.
•	Pick a location for young birds easily cleaned and disinfected. 
•	Secure bedding, feed and supplements, feeder, and water.
•	Purchase cleaning supplies including brushes, soap and disinfectants made especially for poultry. 
•	Identify and take steps to keep you and your family safe; Work gloves, hand washing, using a dedicated pair of shoes.

Backyard chickens are often central to family life and your food budget. With the ongoing outbreak of bird flu, however, consumers have important responsibilities protecting birds, their families, and potential spread to commercial flocks. There have been confirmed cases of bird flu in backyard flocks, likely spread to your flock by wild birds. 
Learn what it takes to raise poultry successfully and safely. Search online for Defend the Flock Resource Center from the United States Department of Agriculture. Resources are available in English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, and Arabic. They include checklists for your backyard coop, tips to keep your flock healthy, and checklists to protect your flock against wild birds, rodents, and insects.

FSM 347: Backyard Poultry:  Ensuring Your Health and the Health of Your Flock

Alan Sim, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s chief data officer, announced his departure from the agency after nearly five years in the position, per a post he wrote on social media Monday.  Sim took on the role of chief data officer in 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic and over the years has been a leader on initiatives such as the agency’s generative AI projects. Reflecting on his time, Sim pointed to several “firsts” the agency achieved, including launching its enterprise data catalog and using data and cloud technologies to improve emergency response.  “It is with mixed emotions that I announce my departure from the CDC,” Sim wrote in a post to LinkedIn.  His time as CDC’s data leader was his second run at the agency. Sim, who has a PhD in epidemiology, had also been a graduate fellow and then a health informatics scientist at CDC early on in his career in the late 90s to the early 2000s. In his post, Sim said that period was “defined by concerns like bioterrorism, Anthrax, and SARS.” “Returning in 2020 as CDC’s Chief Data Officer during the worst pandemic in our nation’s history was both a significant challenge and a profound opportunity,” Sim said. Sim didn’t include details about his next steps but said he would be sharing more soon. It is unclear who the acting CDO is in his absence.

The General Services Administration struck a deal with Oracle as part of its OneGov strategy to provide a variety of cheaper services to federal agencies, including a 75% discount for license-based Oracle Technology Programs. Under OneGov, GSA wants to work directly with original equipment manufacturers like Oracle to negotiate better governmentwide terms for commercial technology. On top of the 75% discount for licensed technology such as database, integration, security, and analytics services, Oracle will also offer “substantial base discounts” for its Oracle Cloud Infrastructure services, GSA announced Monday. Oracle is now the latest of several technology vendors, including Adobe, Google, Salesforce and others, to negotiate a OneGov deal with GSA. This deal, however, comes with some additional terms beyond discounts that stand to benefit federal agencies as they modernize their IT infrastructures. In particular, Oracle won’t charge data egress fees when agencies move their “existing workloads from Oracle Government Clouds to another cloud service provider’s FedRAMP Moderate, High or DOD IL 4, 5 Cloud,” GSA said in its release. The company will also promote pricing parity with other competing commercial cloud providers, “with no additional security or government uplifts ever charged in the Oracle cloud.”

In Proverbs 26 the illustration is clear. When someone sets a trap to wrongful harm a person, they themselves will likely fall prey to their own trap. Easy enough.. However I would add that this type of “trap setting” is the very plan BIBLICAL idea to the sin of hate is manifested.&nbsp;When one finds a hate stirring up in their heart for another person, ideas of vengeance, revenge, or some type of harm causing comes to one’s mind. However the scriptures are VERY CLEAR that any type of vengeance for even the harshest of crimes (such as murder) is left for the LORD to administrate.&nbsp;Thus, hatred in an action to plan and execute a way to “get back” at someone for treating you wrong.

Beatrice speaks with Jane Thomason of National Nurses United (NNU) about the Trump administration’s disbanding of the CDC’s HICPAC committee, the body that oversees infection control practices across the healthcare industry — and a committee that Jane was briefly involved with as part of an advisory workgroup since last summer. We also discuss the Trump administration’s staggering cuts across NIOSH, a key agency for workplace health and safety protections, and their significance within the broader “MAHA” agenda.

Jane Thomason is NNU’s lead industrial hygienist. She was last on the show in March 2024 and August 2023 to speak about a campaign against proposed infection control cuts being considered by HICPAC, after which she was added to a HICPAC workgroup that May. Jane returns today now that, with HICPAC disbanded, she’s once again able to speak more openly about committee deliberations.
