🚨 BREAKING: CDC Issues Emergency Warning – “Extreme Heat Advisory” Now Classified as “Zombie-Level Event” in 17 States

Fact-check: False. The CDC has NOT issued any such warning. This viral post, shared over 500,000 times on Facebook, misleads by claiming the National Weather Service’s heat advisory has been upgraded to a “Category 5” emergency similar to a hurricane. In reality, the current heat advisories across the Midwest and South are serious but standard for summer. No “zombie-level” classification exists. Stay hydrated and check official weather sources.
