Will the H5 bird flu be the new covid in Trump’s 2nd term?

We may never know. Trump is doing his best to control all communications from federal health agencies to the public. With Covid, there was a significantly higher death rate in red states, so if history repeats itself, Democrats will start to outnumber MAGA. There were some fairly comprehensive studies done, and even among registered voters, there were more excess deaths (deaths that exceeded the norm in pre-covid times), among registered Republicans than among registered Democrats. If and when the budget cuts to Medicaid and Medicare are enacted, which seems likely by next month, many people from both parties may have difficulty getting healthcare. And when poorer, rural areas and small towns start losing clinics and hospitals that currently rely on Medicare and Medicaid to pay their bills, it will be a much bigger impact.
