A second human case of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) A(H5) virus infection has been identified in the state of Michigan. This is the third human case associated with an ongoing multistate outbreak of A(H5N1) in U.S. dairy cows. None of the three cases are associated with the others. As with the previous two cases (one in Texas, one in Michigan), the person is a dairy farm worker with exposure to infected cows, making this another instance of probable cow-to-person spread. This is the first human case of H5 in the United States to report more typical symptoms of acute respiratory illness associated with influenza virus infection, including A(H5N1) viruses. CDC continues to closely monitor available data from influenza surveillance systems , particularly in affected states, and there has been no sign of unusual influenza activity in people, including no increase in emergency room visits for influenza and no increase in laboratory detection of human influenza cases.

Time to kill all chickens and cattle and raise crickets I guess.
Chinese scientists working overtime huh?
Kind of hard to do your job:
CDC Recommendations
People should wear recommended personal protective equipment when interacting with infected or potentially infected animals and monitor their health for 10 days after their most recent exposure. Learn more about CDC’s recommendations for worker protection and use of personal protective equipment (PPE).
People should avoid close, long, or unprotected exposures to sick or dead animals, including wild birds, poultry, other domesticated birds, and other wild or domesticated animals (including cows).
People should also avoid unprotected exposures to animal poop, bedding (litter), unpasteurized (“raw”) milk, or materials that have been touched by, or close to, birds or other animals with suspected or confirmed A(H5N1) virus.
Gain of Function at work again. Can you say “Bio-weaponization”?
Guess it’s time to roll out the mail-in ballots/drop boxes again in Michigan .... and allow non-citizens to vote, too.
Right on time.
This is a predictable run up for the November Election cycle. That is IF there is an election this November. I have my doubts about this, however.
We buy our milk from a regional dairy (Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas) store, Braum’s. They don’t use hormones. I’m assuming pasteurization kills the virus, anyway.
Pasteurization does kill it.
CDC is a political mouthpiece. They lie.
Sure is taking them long enough to find all these cases..
Covid part II. Trump is ahead despite everything they do so another crisis is in order.
We know a lot about human cases of H5N1, we have known since 1997.
That’s 27 years of experience.
When an infection acquired from close contact with a human case is transmitted to third and fourth order contacts, wake me up.
Until then, “yawn”.
Have you examined the genome and compared it to the previous outbreaks?
‘ALL’ these cases?
3 cases; all among people who work closely with dairy herds. It has transmitted to humans before. For humans, it’s not a big deal except in the most rare cases.
😀
Lock everything down! Kill all the cows! PUT ON YOUR MASK!!!
Two is *both*
Three or more qualifies as *all*.
The CDC is desperately looking for cases of bird flu allegedly transmitted by dairy cattle to hype up pandemic fears.
When the flu finally starts going around, they’ll label is as *bird flu* and run around with their hair on fire as if it’s the end of the world, just to try to panic and control everyone. Again.
When it gets to #5 they declare a mask mandate and a stay-at-home order, with no large gatherings, until November 6.
