Virginia reports more oyster outbreak cases than CDC count
Original: Virginia reporting more patients than CDC in outbreak traced to oysters
Virginia health officials are reporting more patients in an outbreak traced to oysters than the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has acknowledged. Food Safety News highlighted the discrepancy, noting the state's case count exceeds the federal tally. The gap suggests the CDC's national numbers may lag behind state-level investigations, raising concerns about the outbreak's true scope.
Why now: A state's case count exceeding the CDC's national tally raises questions about how widespread the oyster-linked outbreak really is.
