Start the relief. Ditch the misery. Lets end this. You might think if a food could make you sick, it would be pulled immediately from store shelves. But today the department of health and Human ServicesInspector General reported that hasnt always been the case. Anna werner is following this. In a 49page report, the Inspector Generals office reviewed 30 voluntary recalls overseen by the fda most hive risk and found the fda could not always ensure that firms initiated food recalls promptly. George netter headed up the investigation. 23 of the recalls were class one. By definition cause a condition or death. For example auditors found a recall of cheese products linked to a 2014 listeria outbreak took 81 days to complete. An infant died and two pregnant women lost fetuses. In the case of an dietary supplement, the firm did not recall the product until 303 days after receiving a warning letter from fda. Three places for the one recall. That stuff was still on the shelf when they want out there. 303 days later. That meant people could have been buying it. So this product, potentially jeopardized lives, and they left it on shelves for close to a year . That would be correct. Investigators were so concerned by what they were finding, they issued an alert midway through the review in 2016. At that time, fda put a special team in place to focus on challenging high risk recalls. Now, in response to this full report, fda said the 30 cases selected were extreme outliers in the highest risk recalls, recall initiation took place on less than three days. Netter disagrees. I have serious concerns about that analysis. Why . Because his team found in a third of the cases they examined fda put the wrong recall start date into its database. So basically saying when they say, three, four days you are saying they dont know that. Because their dates were wrong . Im saying their system, from what we found could not be relied upon during, based on our sample of 30 items. In a statement to cbs news, fda commissioner said but he said he knows much work remains to be done to assure safety. Elaine. Sobering report, anna, thank you.

Welcome to the overnight news. It is still just the first week of the season, but old man winter is making his presence felt across the entire Northern Tier of the nation. Snow and bitter cold stretches from the Pacific Northwest off to the rockies, the great plains, and into new england. The Severe Weather is closing highways and grounding flights. Demarco morgan reports from frigid eerie, pennsylvania. Reporter the snow is falling as we speak. So much so this area declared an emergency because of the heavy snowfall. And some areas, it is chest deep. A winter blast dumped foot after foot of snow. Across the great lakes. Lot of snow. Keeps coming. Wont stop. The city of eerie, pennsylvania, shaltered the state record with over 50 inches. The nearly 4 1 2 feet of snow fell in just under 36 hours. The snow pack forced trucks to be dug out along with cars and streets blanketed with snow. In ohio, traffic backed up interstate 90 forcing authorities to drop the speed limit from 65 Miles Per Hour to 30 Miles Per Hour. Kansas city, missouri, the snow caused many accidents on the highways. In one crash, four people were killed. Not to be outdone, record temperatures sent the midwest into a deep freeze. Parts of wisconsin experienced minus 20 degree weather. Minneapolis had a low of negative 2. The snowfall is far from over. This area could get anywhere from 5 to 10 inches of snow.

Now uncertainty over whether her coverage will continue leaves her terrified. What do i do . Ended . Not ended . What is happening. I would look to see a commitment to this, this program, so that there is stability. But President Trump appears intent on doing the opposite. Creating uncertainty and instability. In a tweet today he claims that the tax cut bill he seend last week whi signed last week, ended the mandate. Essentially repeels obamacare. Evidence something jes instead of one foot in the grave, obamacare is showing signs of life. For example in the obama care Enrollment Period that ended december 15th. 8. 8 million americans signed up in 39 states that participate in federal health care. Gov market place. Far exceeding expectations. That is a drop of just 4. 4 from last years 9. 2 million. Even though the Trump Administration cult the Enrollment Period from 90 days to 45 and did far less advertising and public outreach. And another surprise, red states are signing up faster than blue states. According to one nationwide analysis, 62 of the people who enrolled in obama care this year, live in states that were won by President Trump in 2016. It is shaping up to be a tough flu season. The viral infection is hitting hard and early. With flu outbreaks in two dozen states. Dr. Jon lapook has more. Earlier this month, the 3yearold had a flareup of asthma. He didnt improve with treatment. So it wasnt anything that was shouting out this is the flu for him. The diagnose was flu. The virus was attacking his lungs. He spent a week in intensive care unit. Today that he had a tube down his throat. He had a tube in his nose. He had three or four ivs. This flu season could be a nasty one. Texas is one of 23 states already seeing widespread flu activity. Nearly double the number from the week before. Dr. Mary healy is Infectious Disease expert at texas childrens hospital. We had more positive tests over the last couple of weeks. So it looks like maybe we are really starting to get into the season, in earnest. And that seems to be the trend certainly nationally as well. What concerns experts is the flu season that just concluded in australia. Which some times can preview the season here. Australia had the most severe flu season in five years. And the vaccine used there is the same one used here. It is believed one of the strains covered, mutated. Making the vaccine only 10 effective. If you look at the cdc data, we didnt have evidence that the virus has changed significantly. So, hopefully we are not going to face the same situations. Influenza vaccine takes months to make. Scientists are looking at ways of making is so when the virus mutates they can make a vaccine. Cdc recommend getting immunized only if it may provide a Hurricane Harvey devastated the texas gulf coast. Rockport found it self in the cross hairs when the storm made landfall.
