Just saw your comment, Dawn, nice one. Well still trying to stay informed, but it’s encouraging to see folks like you already taking action. I’m active duty military, and seeing this kind of breakdown in public health response hits different. Totally agree, we need more people speaking up and pushing for awareness. Appreciate you setting that example.

I’m baffled at how little media coverage there appears to be about this… you would think this make the front page… NOPE

And feeling like maybe I’ll just start staying home as much as possible to reduce exposure risks… :(

Is pasteurized milk still okay or should we avoid that too? There’s this lady local to me always posting about having raw milk to sell and it makes me so mad😡😡

are there Canadian (or British) government websites that post similar information about infectious diseases and recalls (keeping in mind that I understand the products might have different names & lot numbers)? I'm going to start researching for such sites, but I thought maybe you, or someone here, have the links handy.

ok, adding:

Canada Recalls: https://recalls-rappels.canada.ca/en

I *think* this is like the CDC, but anyway has a LOT of info:

https://www.canada.ca/en/public-health.html

Looks like there isn't anything comparable in the UK? There must be, but I might be using the wrong search terms.

In late(ish) 2024, CDC redid their website addresses and old links were set to automatically redirect to new links for a period of time. I'm not saying that has anything to do with this, but it's possible this redirect isn't functioning the way it's meant to, or the redirect period has expired.
