That’s Cecilia Lei, Katrina Schwartz, Dana Cronin, Alex Gonzalez, and Tessa Paoli. If that feels like a long list of people filling in, it’s because both myself and Erica have been out for a good amount of the month. So thanks to all those folks for filling in and thank you both Mel and Jessica for holding it down. Okay, well, let’s jump into the news roundup. Let’s talk about some. stories that we’ve all been following. Actually, Mel, let’s start with you. What do you got for us?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:01:03] I have this story that was originally reported by KQED reporter Katie DeBenedetti. And last week, the Trump administration signed an executive order to dramatically cut federal agencies, including the Presidio Trust. That would mean that that land, the park, would no longer be public land and could be up for grabs to be developed by private companies. and they’re even asking for the $200 million given to the park through the Inflation Reduction Act back. It’s really devastating. It’s the first park I ever visited in San Francisco as a kid, and that was like stunning. And I was like, one day I’m gonna live in San Francisco. So that was kind of like my first kind of my source of love for the city. All around, this is just pretty shocking news to most San Franciscans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:02:04] Obviously the Presidio is beloved. I mean, I used to live nearby. What are people worried could happen to the Presidio now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:02:13] Yeah, so not only do people like really love this park, but they’re also worried that it could turn into a land grab for real estate developers to build city developments on. And this isn’t the first time that the Bayside has been like considered for more urban development. There is this idea for a city called Marincello in the Marin Headlands, and it was proposed in the 1960s. It was supposed to be a bustling city with 30 ,000 residents and tons of new developments. And the Marin County Board of Supervisors actually approved it, but the Golden Gate National Recreation Area was then established as a result of all the legal battles of environmental activists and environmental groups coming in and trying to push back against this proposed Maroncello. So then it just didn’t happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:03:15] So there’s this history of attempts to develop on this public land. Are there current plans to build stuff in this area? Are there people saying, Hey, if you get rid of the Presidio Trust, I would love to build something here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:03:32] Well, actually, Trump proposed an idea for this concept called freedom cities. It would be like 10 different cities built on federal land. I think this was just mentioned during his campaign, but there’s this guy, the founder of Charter Cities Institute, which pretty much advocates for new independent cities with like different… methods of governing. It’s a little vague, but that’s what I’ve found on it. His name is Mark Lutter, and he actually was urging Trump on X to start developing a freedom city in the Presidio, but it’s not anything that’s actually happening right now. It’s just being talked about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:04:24] Yeah, I mean, it’s interesting, you know, we’ve obviously seen a slew of executive orders. We’ve also seen pushback in the courts. We’ve seen things walked back. With the Presidio, do you think that, you know, this could actually happen? Like, do you think that, you know, it could dramatically change from being this like public park to something private or are there other, you know, mechanisms or laws in place that are protecting it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:04:52] So because it’s such a beloved piece of land, like, this would take a really long time to happen and is unlikely that this will happen because of something passed in 1996 called the Presidio Trust Act, which incorporates the Presidio land into the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which protects it from being developed, which includes that a previous proposed Marincello area, which is the Marin Headlands, or what we know to be the Marin Headlands. So the Presidio is a part of that, and it would be very hard to work around that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:05:37] Well, Mel, I appreciate you bringing this story to us and kind of like a history behind, you know, the sort of big headline grabby story about the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:05:48] Of course, thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:05:52] We’re going to take a break. When we come back, we’ll talk about a fast track, scam texts, and where did the Falcons go in Berkeley? Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:06:10] And you’re listening to The Bay. I’m Alan Montesilio in for Erika Cruz Guevara. And this is our news roundup for the month of February. I’m here with intern Mel Velasquez and producer Jessica Carissa. And next up, we have a story that I’ve been following. FasTrak scam texts appear to be on the rise. I don’t know, have either of you gotten a text from a number saying, Hey, you didn’t pay your FasTrak bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:06:38] Oh, yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:06:39] Literally, literally all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:06:42] Yeah, I mean, apparently they are increasing. They’re getting more aggressive and more sophisticated even. I mean, I got one about three weeks ago. It was from a number in the Philippines. So I could, you know, kind of tell that it was not. to tell that it was not. Not legit, but it does say, you know, pay your fast track lane tolls by February 1st to avoid a fine and your license you can pay at, and then there’s a URL. So more and more of these, I think, attempted scams in general, but fast track in particular seems to be on the rise lately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:07:12] You know, I’ve noticed that I’ve gotten a lot of these texts. So how can you tell that this is a scam text?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:07:20] Well, currently there’s a few telltale signs. Um, one is, is oftentimes the phone number is, you know, from another country. A lot of times these messages will provide a URL to a website. Oftentimes those, that website URL will have like a series of numbers and letters. It’ll look kind of weird. Sometimes they’ll even try to imitate the URL of, you know, fast track or whatever the transit authorities try, you know, is in the region. The most recent ones I’ve gotten too, and not even just for fast track for, for texts I’ve gotten pretending to be the post office, they’ll say, please reply why then copy this link into your browser and activate it. So some of those signs are definitely there. One thing that folks have noticed recently is that the spelling in these texts has gotten much better. There are fewer mistakes. You know, usually you can tell if, if like the spelling is way off or the grammar is way off. This is probably not coming from, you know, Fast Track, but that’s gotten better. And the messaging has gotten more aggressive saying like, hey, if you don’t pay, you’re gonna lose your license. Hey, if you don’t pay, you know, you’re gonna pay a fine. But those are some of the signs, right? FasTrak has said, they will never ask you to pay over text. In fact, the only text I’ve ever gotten related to Fast Track come from 86557 and they’re only about when I’m trying to reset my online account. If it does happen to you, FasTrak says call your bank, call your credit card company. We know that law enforcement is obviously aware of this. And in fact, a spokesperson with Rob Bonta’s office, the attorney general said, don’t click on these, but they also couldn’t confirm or deny the existence of an investigation. So maybe they’re checking it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:09:07] Yeah, I’ve definitely gotten those scams before And it always freaks me out because I’m always dipping into the fast track lane I guess how do we even know that they’re increasing? I guess it’s only been anecdotal for me, but is there a way to actually report this stuff or track it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:09:24] I mean, data is a little hard, right? I mean, I just told you about a message I got. I did not report that to some agency. John Goodwin with Metropolitan Planning Commission, that’s the agency that handles transit, planning for regional projects. They also run the Bay Area seven bridges. He told the San Francisco Chronicle a few days ago that it’s been about nonstop for almost a year. There were also about 2000 reports to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center in about a two month span last year. So, you know, it is hard to, this is also a national thing. It’s not just a Bay area thing, right? In many states across the country, this is happening. So it is a little tough, but even just like having this conversation and even just in my own life, I’m noticing that I’m getting more of it. So, hard to be, you know, hard to put an exact number on it. But this is kind of, you know, I think just one of the features of our, you know, technological existence that we can get pinged by all these texts that say, you didn’t pay your bill. Have you ever like fallen for one of these or have you had to like help a relative sort of navigate this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:10:29] I haven’t, but I know that my grandpa has unfortunately fallen for one of those internet security scams. For people who didn’t grow up with the technology, it can be really scary to receive a message like that, especially threatening ones being like, you owe this much money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:10:52] Yeah. Stay vigilant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:10:54] Stay vigilant. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:11:00] Okay, and for our last story for the roundup, we have producer Jessica Kariisa. Jessica, what do you got?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:11:06] Yeah, so there’s two Peregrine Falcons who live on top of the Bell Tower at UC Berkeley. Their names are Annie and Archie. And [2.1s] they haven’t been seen since January. I first saw this reported in Berkleyside, but quite a few other news outlets have picked it up at this point because it’s a big deal. They’re a big part of the campus community and they’re missing now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:11:35] Maybe remind folks maybe who don’t live in Berkeley, who don’t walk through UC Berkeley, who are these Peregrine Falcons and why do they mean so much to people who live nearby?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:11:44] Annie has been there since 2016. [00:11:48]She’s had different partners over the years. Archie is her latest partner. [3.7s] And they’re just a really beloved part of the community. First of all, they’re peregrine falcons, which I learned are some of the fastest animals in the world. They can go over 200 miles per hour when they die. Um, you know, they’re just like amazing birds and you know, they’ve built a huge following over the years. [00:12:11]There’s a 24 hour webcam. [0.8s] There’s a dedicated website for them. They have an Instagram page with over 18,000 followers. Um, they’ve been part of the community for so long and, uh, people really care about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:12:26] Do we know anything about why they’re missing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:12:29] We don’t have a clear definitive answer. [00:12:34]You know, there’s a 24 -hour webcam [1.2s] on their nesting site and a few other perches that they like to hang out at on the bell tower. But unfortunately, the big elephant in the room is definitely bird flu. You know, bird flu has devastated, you know, avian communities all around the country, all around the Bay Area especially, you know, Newsom instituted a state of emergency towards the end of last year around bird flu. So the longer that they go missing, it seems like that might be the culprit, but they also haven’t found them and it is possible that they could come back, but the longer the time goes, the less likely it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:13:17] So they’re obviously beloved figures in Berkeley, but have they gone missing before?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:13:26] They have gone missing before. In fact, they’ve even, Berkeley’s even written an obituary before for Annie when she was gone for about a week. It’s not uncommon for them to go on hunting trips, sometimes really extended hunting trips, and there’s still the possibility that that’s what this could be. But you know, it is quite long, and I don’t think that they’ve been gone this long before. So, you know, people are getting a little bit worried. They haven’t. made any definitive statements yet about what happened to them. But yeah, we’ll just have to wait and see. Thoughts and prayers for the birds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:14:03] Yeah, come home Archie and Annie or just be safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:14:08] Yeah, we miss you Archie and Annie, come home.\u003c/p>\n\n",

And last week, the Trump administration signed an executive order to dramatically cut federal agencies, including the Presidio Trust. That would mean that that land, the park, would no longer be public land and could be up for grabs to be developed by private companies. and they’re even asking for the $200 million given to the park through the Inflation Reduction Act back. It’s really devastating. It’s the first park I ever visited in San Francisco as a kid, and that was like stunning. And I was like, one day I’m gonna live in San Francisco. So that was kind of like my first kind of my source of love for the city. All around, this is just pretty shocking news to most San Franciscans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:02:04] Obviously the Presidio is beloved. I mean, I used to live nearby. What are people worried could happen to the Presidio now?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:02:13] Yeah, so not only do people like really love this park, but they’re also worried that it could turn into a land grab for real estate developers to build city developments on. And this isn’t the first time that the Bayside has been like considered for more urban development. There is this idea for a city called Marincello in the Marin Headlands, and it was proposed in the 1960s. It was supposed to be a bustling city with 30 ,000 residents and tons of new developments. And the Marin County Board of Supervisors actually approved it, but the Golden Gate National Recreation Area was then established as a result of all the legal battles of environmental activists and environmental groups coming in and trying to push back against this proposed Maroncello. So then it just didn’t happen.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:03:15] So there’s this history of attempts to develop on this public land. Are there current plans to build stuff in this area? Are there people saying, Hey, if you get rid of the Presidio Trust, I would love to build something here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:03:32] Well, actually, Trump proposed an idea for this concept called freedom cities. It would be like 10 different cities built on federal land. I think this was just mentioned during his campaign, but there’s this guy, the founder of Charter Cities Institute, which pretty much advocates for new independent cities with like different… methods of governing. It’s a little vague, but that’s what I’ve found on it. His name is Mark Lutter, and he actually was urging Trump on X to start developing a freedom city in the Presidio, but it’s not anything that’s actually happening right now. It’s just being talked about.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:04:24] Yeah, I mean, it’s interesting, you know, we’ve obviously seen a slew of executive orders. We’ve also seen pushback in the courts. We’ve seen things walked back. With the Presidio, do you think that, you know, this could actually happen? Like, do you think that, you know, it could dramatically change from being this like public park to something private or are there other, you know, mechanisms or laws in place that are protecting it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:04:52] So because it’s such a beloved piece of land, like, this would take a really long time to happen and is unlikely that this will happen because of something passed in 1996 called the Presidio Trust Act, which incorporates the Presidio land into the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which protects it from being developed, which includes that a previous proposed Marincello area, which is the Marin Headlands, or what we know to be the Marin Headlands. So the Presidio is a part of that, and it would be very hard to work around that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:05:37] Well, Mel, I appreciate you bringing this story to us and kind of like a history behind, you know, the sort of big headline grabby story about the Trump administration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:05:48] Of course, thank you.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:05:52] We’re going to take a break. When we come back, we’ll talk about a fast track, scam texts, and where did the Falcons go in Berkeley? Stay with us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:06:10] And you’re listening to The Bay. I’m Alan Montesilio in for Erika Cruz Guevara. And this is our news roundup for the month of February. I’m here with intern Mel Velasquez and producer Jessica Carissa. And next up, we have a story that I’ve been following. FasTrak scam texts appear to be on the rise. I don’t know, have either of you gotten a text from a number saying, Hey, you didn’t pay your FasTrak bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:06:38] Oh, yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:06:39] Literally, literally all the time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:06:42] Yeah, I mean, apparently they are increasing. They’re getting more aggressive and more sophisticated even. I mean, I got one about three weeks ago. It was from a number in the Philippines. So I could, you know, kind of tell that it was not. to tell that it was not. Not legit, but it does say, you know, pay your fast track lane tolls by February 1st to avoid a fine and your license you can pay at, and then there’s a URL. So more and more of these, I think, attempted scams in general, but fast track in particular seems to be on the rise lately.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:07:12] You know, I’ve noticed that I’ve gotten a lot of these texts. So how can you tell that this is a scam text?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:07:20] Well, currently there’s a few telltale signs. Um, one is, is oftentimes the phone number is, you know, from another country. A lot of times these messages will provide a URL to a website. Oftentimes those, that website URL will have like a series of numbers and letters. It’ll look kind of weird. Sometimes they’ll even try to imitate the URL of, you know, fast track or whatever the transit authorities try, you know, is in the region. The most recent ones I’ve gotten too, and not even just for fast track for, for texts I’ve gotten pretending to be the post office, they’ll say, please reply why then copy this link into your browser and activate it. So some of those signs are definitely there. One thing that folks have noticed recently is that the spelling in these texts has gotten much better. There are fewer mistakes. You know, usually you can tell if, if like the spelling is way off or the grammar is way off. This is probably not coming from, you know, Fast Track, but that’s gotten better. And the messaging has gotten more aggressive saying like, hey, if you don’t pay, you’re gonna lose your license. Hey, if you don’t pay, you know, you’re gonna pay a fine. But those are some of the signs, right? FasTrak has said, they will never ask you to pay over text. In fact, the only text I’ve ever gotten related to Fast Track come from 86557 and they’re only about when I’m trying to reset my online account. If it does happen to you, FasTrak says call your bank, call your credit card company. We know that law enforcement is obviously aware of this. And in fact, a spokesperson with Rob Bonta’s office, the attorney general said, don’t click on these, but they also couldn’t confirm or deny the existence of an investigation. So maybe they’re checking it out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:09:07] Yeah, I’ve definitely gotten those scams before And it always freaks me out because I’m always dipping into the fast track lane I guess how do we even know that they’re increasing? I guess it’s only been anecdotal for me, but is there a way to actually report this stuff or track it?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:09:24] I mean, data is a little hard, right? I mean, I just told you about a message I got. I did not report that to some agency. John Goodwin with Metropolitan Planning Commission, that’s the agency that handles transit, planning for regional projects. They also run the Bay Area seven bridges. He told the San Francisco Chronicle a few days ago that it’s been about nonstop for almost a year. There were also about 2000 reports to the FBI’s Internet Crime Complaint Center in about a two month span last year. So, you know, it is hard to, this is also a national thing. It’s not just a Bay area thing, right? In many states across the country, this is happening. So it is a little tough, but even just like having this conversation and even just in my own life, I’m noticing that I’m getting more of it. So, hard to be, you know, hard to put an exact number on it. But this is kind of, you know, I think just one of the features of our, you know, technological existence that we can get pinged by all these texts that say, you didn’t pay your bill. Have you ever like fallen for one of these or have you had to like help a relative sort of navigate this?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:10:29] I haven’t, but I know that my grandpa has unfortunately fallen for one of those internet security scams. For people who didn’t grow up with the technology, it can be really scary to receive a message like that, especially threatening ones being like, you owe this much money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:10:52] Yeah. Stay vigilant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Mel Velasquez \u003c/strong>[00:10:54] Stay vigilant. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:11:00] Okay, and for our last story for the roundup, we have producer Jessica Kariisa. Jessica, what do you got?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:11:06] Yeah, so there’s two Peregrine Falcons who live on top of the Bell Tower at UC Berkeley. Their names are Annie and Archie. And [2.1s] they haven’t been seen since January. I first saw this reported in Berkleyside, but quite a few other news outlets have picked it up at this point because it’s a big deal. They’re a big part of the campus community and they’re missing now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:11:35] Maybe remind folks maybe who don’t live in Berkeley, who don’t walk through UC Berkeley, who are these Peregrine Falcons and why do they mean so much to people who live nearby?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:11:44] Annie has been there since 2016.

They have an Instagram page with over 18,000 followers. Um, they’ve been part of the community for so long and, uh, people really care about them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:12:26] Do we know anything about why they’re missing?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:12:29] We don’t have a clear definitive answer. [00:12:34]You know, there’s a 24 -hour webcam [1.2s] on their nesting site and a few other perches that they like to hang out at on the bell tower. But unfortunately, the big elephant in the room is definitely bird flu. You know, bird flu has devastated, you know, avian communities all around the country, all around the Bay Area especially, you know, Newsom instituted a state of emergency towards the end of last year around bird flu. So the longer that they go missing, it seems like that might be the culprit, but they also haven’t found them and it is possible that they could come back, but the longer the time goes, the less likely it is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:13:17] So they’re obviously beloved figures in Berkeley, but have they gone missing before?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jessica Kariisa \u003c/strong>[00:13:26] They have gone missing before. In fact, they’ve even, Berkeley’s even written an obituary before for Annie when she was gone for about a week. It’s not uncommon for them to go on hunting trips, sometimes really extended hunting trips, and there’s still the possibility that that’s what this could be. But you know, it is quite long, and I don’t think that they’ve been gone this long before. So, you know, people are getting a little bit worried. They haven’t. made any definitive statements yet about what happened to them. But yeah, we’ll just have to wait and see.

The \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/fluview/surveillance/2025-week-05.html\">CDC estimates\u003c/a> at least 24 million illnesses, 310,000 hospitalizations, and 13,000 deaths from the flu since the start of October. At the same time, the bird flu outbreak continues to infect cattle and farmworkers. But CDC analyses that would inform people about these situations are delayed, and the CDC has cut off communication with doctors, researchers, and the World Health Organization, say doctors and public health experts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“CDC right now is not reporting influenza data through the WHO global platforms, FluNet [and] FluID, that they’ve been providing information [on] for many, many years,” Maria Van Kerkhove, interim director of epidemic and pandemic preparedness at the WHO, said at a Feb. 12 \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/live/RGflJNNUR4E?\">press briefing\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are communicating with them,” she added, “but we haven’t heard anything back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Trump withdraws the US from WHO\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On his first day in office, President Donald Trump announced the U.S. would withdraw from the WHO.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A critical analysis of the seasonal flu selected for distribution through the CDC’s Health Alert Network has stalled, according to people close to the CDC. They asked not to be identified because of fears of retaliation. The network, abbreviated as HAN, is the CDC’s main method of sharing urgent public health information with health officials, doctors, and, sometimes, the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A chart from that analysis, reviewed by KFF Health News, suggests that flu may be at a record high. About 7.7% of patients who visited clinics and hospitals without being admitted had flu-like symptoms in early February, a ratio higher than in four other flu seasons depicted in the graph. That includes 2003-04, when an atypical strain of flu fueled a particularly treacherous season that killed \u003ca href=\"https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa051721\">at least 153 children\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Without a complete analysis, however, it’s unclear whether this tidal wave of sickness foreshadows a spike in hospitalizations and deaths that hospitals, pharmacies, and schools must prepare for. Specifically, other data could relay how many of the flu-like illnesses are caused by flu viruses — or which flu strain is infecting people. A deeper report might also reveal whether the flu is more severe or contagious than usual.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“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,” Stokes said. “Delays in data create dangerous situations on the front line.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the CDC’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/fluview/surveillance/2025-week-05.html\">flu dashboard\u003c/a> shows a surge of influenza, it doesn’t include all data needed to interpret the situation. Nor does it offer the tailored advice found in HAN alerts that tells health care workers how to protect patients and the public. In 2023, for example, a report urged clinics to test patients with respiratory symptoms rather than assume cases are the flu, since other viruses were causing similar issues that year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is incredibly disturbing,” said Rachel Hardeman, a member of the Advisory Committee to the Director of the CDC. On Feb. 10, Hardeman and other committee members wrote to acting CDC Director Susan Monarez asking the agency to explain missing data, delayed studies, and potentially severe staff cuts. “The CDC is vital to our nation’s security,” the letter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Not unexpected’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Several studies have also been \u003ca href=\"https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/cdc-trump-mmwr-bird-flu-studies-blocked-meddling/\">delayed or remain missing\u003c/a> from the CDC’s preeminent scientific publication, the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report. Anne Schuchat, a former principal deputy director at the CDC, said she would be concerned if there was political oversight of scientific material: “Suppressing information is potentially confusing, possibly dangerous, and it can backfire.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CDC spokesperson Melissa Dibble declined to comment on delayed or missing analyses. “It is not unexpected to see flu activity elevated and increasing at this time of the year,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A draft of one unpublished study, reviewed by KFF Health News, that has been withheld from the MMWR for three weeks describes how a milk hauler and a dairy worker in Michigan may have spread bird flu to their pet cats. The indoor cats became severely sick and died. Although the workers weren’t tested, the study says that one of them had irritated eyes before the cat fell ill — a common bird flu symptom. That person told researchers that the pet “would roll in their work clothes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After one cat became sick, the investigation reports, an adolescent in the household developed a cough. But the report says this young person tested negative for the flu, and positive for a cold-causing virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside label=’Related Coverage' tag='bird-flu']\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corresponding CDC documents summarizing the cat study and another as-yet unpublished bird flu analysis said the reports were scheduled to be published Jan. 23. These were reviewed by KFF Health News. The briefing on cats advises dairy farmworkers to “remove clothing and footwear, and rinse off any animal biproduct residue before entering the household to protect others in the household, including potentially indoor-only cats.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second summary refers to “the most comprehensive” analysis of bird flu virus detected in wastewater in the United States.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jennifer Nuzzo, director of the Pandemic Center at Brown University, said delays of bird flu reports are upsetting because they’re needed to inform the public about a worsening situation with many unknown elements. Citing “insufficient data” and “high uncertainty,” the United Kingdom raised \u003ca href=\"https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/66a0ff6dfc8e12ac3edb03e4/AH5N1-risk-assessment-july-2024.pdf\">its assessment of the risk\u003c/a> posed by the U.S. outbreak on dairies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Missing and delayed data causes uncertainty,” Nuzzo said. “It also potentially makes us react in ways that are counterproductive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Another missing study\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Another bird flu study slated for January publication showed up in the MMWR on Feb. 13, \u003ca href=\"https://kffhealthnews.org/news/article/cdc-trump-mmwr-bird-flu-studies-blocked-meddling/\">three weeks after it was expected\u003c/a>. \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/74/wr/mm7404a2.htm?s_cid=mm7404a2_w\">It revealed\u003c/a> that three cattle veterinarians had been unknowingly infected last year, based on the discovery of antibodies against the bird flu virus in their blood. One of the veterinarians worked in Georgia and South Carolina, states that haven’t reported outbreaks on dairy farms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The study provides further evidence that the United States is not adequately detecting cases in cows and people. Nuzzo said it also highlights how data can supply reassuring news. Only three of 150 cattle veterinarians had signs of prior infections, suggesting that the virus doesn’t easily spread from the animals into people. More than 40 dairy workers have been infected, but they generally have had more sustained contact with sick cattle and their virus-laden milk than veterinarians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, recently released reports have been about wildfires in California and Hawaii.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Interesting but not urgent,” Nuzzo said, considering the acute fire emergencies have ended. The bird flu outbreak, she said, is an ongoing “urgent health threat for which we need up-to-the-minute information to know how to protect people.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The American public is at greater risk when we don’t have information on a timely basis,” Schuchat said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This week, a federal judge ordered the CDC and other health agencies to “restore” datasets and websites that the organization Doctors for America had identified in a lawsuit as having been altered. Further, the judge ordered the agencies to “identify any other resources that DFA members rely on to provide medical care” and restore them by Feb. 14.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their letter, CDC advisory committee members requested an investigation into missing data and delayed reports. Hardeman, an adviser who is a health policy expert at the University of Minnesota, said the group didn’t know why data and scientific findings were being withheld or removed. Still, she added, “I hold accountable the acting director of the CDC, the head of HHS, and the White House.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hardeman said the Trump administration has the power to disband the advisory committee.

Three new CDC reports on bird flu were on track for release this week, and now it’s unclear when they will be released, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2025/01/22/trump-administrations-cancels-scientific-meetings-abruptly/\">reporting published by \u003cem>STAT\u003c/em>\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Bird flu is rapidly evolving, and we need federal data to get a big-picture view of what’s happening across the country,” Chin-Hong said. “That information is critical for coordinating responses at the state and local levels, and ultimately for how we communicate with patients and the public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/bird-flu\">Since the outbreak began\u003c/a>, 38 residents have tested positive for an infection in California. Most cases stem from direct contact with sick cattle. The \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12019301/bird-flu-hits-over-half-of-california-dairies-spurring-more-containment-efforts\">virus has infected\u003c/a> 712 of the state’s more than 1,100 dairy facilities, according to the California Department of Food and Agriculture.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The timing of the CDC pause adds urgency to an already precarious time of year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re not just dealing with bird flu,” Chin-Hong said. “It’s also respiratory virus season, and we’re seeing emerging threats globally, like the Marburg virus. Delays in federal guidance could fragment responses, reduce effectiveness, and ultimately cost lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Public Health tried to reassure residents in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California will continue to work collaboratively with our federal partners to ensure that families in our state are healthy and our communities are vibrant places to live and work,” the CDPH said. “While we don’t typically speculate on the potential impacts of a new federal administration, we remain committed to protecting Californians’ access to the critical services and programs they need.”[aside postID=forum_2010101908036 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/11/bird-flu.png']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Department of Public Health responded similarly by email.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chin-Hong warned that state-level actions, while critical, cannot fully replace the coordination and resources provided by federal agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We can have local data, but only the CDC can produce a high-quality, nationwide picture of what’s happening,” he said. “They bring together human health experts, veterinarians, and the Department of Agriculture to coordinate responses, particularly for something as complex as bird flu.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to Chin-Hong, one recent example highlights the importance of timely federal coordination: the CDC’s investigation of a Louisiana bird flu case, which stemmed from backyard birds rather than large poultry operations. One person who was infected died earlier this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That discovery quickly changed how we thought about risks,” Chin-Hong said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s public health infrastructure, including agencies such as the CDPH, offers some insulation from federal disruptions. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the state often acted independently to implement strict public health measures and disseminate guidance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is one of the best places to be in moments like this,” Chin-Hong said. “We have strong local public health agencies and like-minded individuals committed to science-based responses. But borders are porous. Without federal coordination, the ripple effects of delays will be felt across the country, including here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Delays in federal guidance could fragment responses, reduce effectiveness, and ultimately cost lives.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California Department of Public Health tried to reassure residents in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California will continue to work collaboratively with our federal partners to ensure that families in our state are healthy and our communities are vibrant places to live and work,” the CDPH said. “While we don’t typically speculate on the potential impacts of a new federal administration, we remain committed to protecting Californians’ access to the critical services and programs they need.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

State officials have already issued \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12016664/california-recalls-more-raw-milk-citing-bird-flu\">recalls of raw milk\u003c/a> linked to bird flu exposure. The founder of Fresno-based Raw Farm, the target of the recall, acknowledged that potentially contaminated milk may have reached up to 90,000 customers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts have cautioned people against consuming milk products that are not pasteurized. Research shows the process effectively eliminates harmful pathogens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said the virus is a death sentence for poultry, which is why farmers usually euthanize birds that are exposed, said Dr. Annette M. Jones, state veterinarian and director of Animal Health and Food Safety Services. The symptoms are not as severe in cows, but the animals are stressed by the disease and may not recover completely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the third wave of [bird flu] infection since 2022 that our poultry flocks have experienced,” Jones said. “And the first time they have gotten a virus from cows.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While human-to-human transmission has not been reported in California, public health officials are monitoring for signs that is happening. Most human cases in the state have been linked to people who were in direct contact with infected cattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has recorded \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CID/DCDC/Pages/Bird-Flu.aspx\">36 human bird flu infections\u003c/a> this year, underscoring the virus’s ability to jump from animals to humans. Nationwide, the U.S. has reported \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/situation-summary/index.html\">61 cases\u003c/a> in 2024, primarily among dairy and poultry workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12014955/bay-area-potential-first-bird-flu-case-reported-alameda-county-child\">case in Alameda County\u003c/a> involving a child with mild respiratory symptoms raised alarms when no clear exposure pathway was identified. The case, however, did not result in further spread within the family or school, aligning with trends seen in other human infections, which have generally caused mild symptoms such as conjunctivitis and nasal congestion. However, the confirmation this week of the first severe human case of bird flu in the U.S., reported in Louisiana, demonstrates that certain strains of the virus can lead to worse illness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wastewater surveillance has revealed the virus’ presence across the Bay Area, including in San Francisco, Napa and San José. Despite this widespread detection, health officials maintain that the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11990735/avian-flu-what-to-know-about-h5n1-virus-risks-beyond-the-headlines\">risk to the general public remains low\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency in response to the ongoing spread of bird flu among dairy cattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2024/12/18/governor-newsom-takes-proactive-action-to-strengthen-robust-state-response-to-bird-flu/\">declaration is a sign of growing concern\u003c/a> over the situation in California, which has become the epicenter of the nation’s outbreak in cattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>More than 300 dairy herds \u003ca href=\"https://www.aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poultry-disease/avian/avian-influenza/hpai-detections/hpai-confirmed-cases-livestock\">have tested positive\u003c/a> in the state in the last 30 days alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom said that cases detected in dairy cows on farms in Southern California showed that expanded monitoring and a more coordinated statewide response is needed in response to the outbreak.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This proclamation is a targeted action to ensure government agencies have the resources and flexibility they need,” Newsom said in the statement. “While the risk to the public remains low, we will continue to take all necessary steps to prevent the spread of this virus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California currently accounts for about \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/situation-summary/index.html\">half of known human infections\u003c/a> in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no evidence of ongoing human-to-human spread in California or the rest of the country. However, scientists warn that uncontrolled spread in dairy cattle heightens the risk of spillover into humans, which could give the virus a chance to acquire dangerous mutations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move also comes on the heels of another troubling development — the country’s first case of severe illness detected in a human.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Wednesday, officials with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shared additional findings about that infection in a resident of Louisiana who was hospitalized after being exposed to sick and dead birds in backyard flocks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Genetic sequencing indicates the H5N1 virus responsible for the illness belongs to a genetic lineage that’s circulating in wild birds and poultry — different from what’s spreading in dairy cattle and driving the majority of infections in agricultural workers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the U.S., more than \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/situation-summary/index.html\">60 people have been infected\u003c/a> so far, although some research \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/73/wr/mm7344a3.htm\">suggests\u003c/a> the official tally may be an undercount.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The illnesses linked to dairy cattle have largely led to mild illnesses in humans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The version of the virus in the Louisiana case is the D1.1 genotype. It has previously popped up in poultry workers in Washington state, who \u003ca href=\"https://doh.wa.gov/newsroom/first-presumed-human-infections-avian-influenza-under-investigation-washington-state\">developed mild symptoms\u003c/a> after testing positive in October. More recently, however, a teenager in British Columbia was hospitalized after contracting this D1.1 strain of the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Canadian health officials were unable to figure out how that person was infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='bird-flu' label='Bird Flu Coverage']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The case in southwest Louisiana was detected during routine flu surveillance and eventually sent to the CDC for confirmation.
