SACRAMENTO, the United States, Feb. 18 (Xinhua) -- Vital data and analyses from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about dangerous flu outbreaks have been blocked from release since U.S. President Donald Trump took office, leaving doctors and public health experts struggling to respond to escalating infections, U.S. media quoted health experts as saying.
"Without more information, we are blind," said Sonya Stokes, an emergency room physician in the San Francisco Bay Area, who reported seeing daily surges of patients with flu symptoms, according to KFF Health News. "I need to know if we are dealing with a more virulent strain or a coinfection with another virus that is making my patients sicker and what to look for so that I know if my patients are in danger."
