The Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America (SHEA) is concerned that two weeks have passed since the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) announced a pause on mass communications and public appearances that are not directly related to emergencies or critical to preserving health. With the order remaining in effect until a new HHS secretary is confirmed, this unpredictable timeline prolongs uncertainty for both healthcare professionals and the public, and endangers the nation by hindering our ability to detect and respond to public health threats, such as avian influenza (H5N1). Public health officials and healthcare professionals are reliant on continual coordination from local to federal levels to know whether avian influenza is becoming more of a threat to humans, and the local response to this threat has been compromised by this, the longest and most comprehensive communication ban to date.
