Dead on Arrival: The Signals We’re Ignoring… Again
Dead on Arrival: The Signals We’re Ignoring… Again

“Dead on Arrival: The Signals We’re Ignoring… Again

In NYC, when someone dies at home, a green flier appears on the door—a quiet but grim signal of loss. The medical term? Dead on arrival.

Another signal? Searches for "refrigerator trucks" are rising again. Last time they peaked was 2020, when NYC ran out of mortuary capacity.

Meanwhile:
➡️ NYC hospitals are now subtyping for H5N1. ➡️ The city is experiencing its worst flu season since 1997. ➡️ Influenza-Like Illness (ILI) outpatient visits last week hit 13.6%—the second highest ever recorded in NYC’s 2010-2025 dataset.
➡️ The only time it was worse? First week of April 2020 (14.2%).

We’ve seen these warning signs before.
Are we paying attention this time?”

Current pasteurization standards may not fully neutralize flu viruses in food.”
