This trend is expected to persist, especially in states like Florida, California, and New York. Concurrently, the U.K. Health Security Agency also noted a spike in travel-related cases, attributing the increase to climate change factors like rising temperatures and flooding. While historically acknowledging climate's role, the CDC's recent reports lack this critical context, reflecting shifts in political influences on public health communication.
