Please help track data suppression and alternative sources.

This discussion thread is pinned.

Dennis Donovan posted about a TB outbreak in Kansas City. Links to the CDC are scrubbed.

We need to track alternative, reliable sources for this data! And support those who will be filling important roles during this bleak time.

Another tip: Check food packaging for the marks that mean it’s been deemed Kosher. It’s an indication that someone independently is taking an active interest in maintaining a level of quality in the product. The manufacturer has paid some big $ to obtain this status and they are in no rush to lose it.
