A top doctor has warned the USDA and CDC are ‘blind’ to a potential nationwide bird flu outbreak in the United States because of a lack of testing.
Dr Rick Bright, a virologist and former director at the Department of Health and Human Services, said that the level of concern is greater than it appears on the surface, with only three Americans having tested positive for the virus.
He warned that, despite the low number of cases, it is possible the virus could be mutating, making it better able to infect humans.
