Green means they caught it early. Yellow means people are getting sick. Red means deaths are on the official record. When a sourced federal program that tracked this germ was cut, the desk names the administration in power and what was cut — not as proof the cut invented the germ. Not medical advice.

This tape is public paperwork from FDA, CPSC, USDA FSIS, CDC open data, and WHO. It is not a diagnosis, not a political ad, and not a reason to panic-buy. Color is health outcome: green = caught early, yellow = people sick, red = deaths reported. When a sourced agency program that tracked this germ was cut or narrowed before the event, the desk names that as a driving factor for weaker detection — not as proof the cut invented the germ. Headcount and budget are different facts; we do not treat a rejected budget proposal as an enacted cut.
