Trump admin aware of Cyclospora deaths as outbreak reporting slows

Two deaths attributed to cyclosporiasis have been reported amid a large Cyclospora outbreak linked to Taylor Farms lettuce. Michigan officials say both individuals had significant underlying conditions, and the recall spurred investigations across multiple states. Federal agencies have been slow to update nationwide figures, with the FDA and CDC promising updates on illnesses, hospitalizations, and deaths this week as state counts range from roughly 17,000 to 23,000 cases and Michigan tallies exceed 11,000.
