To date, the virus has been detected in backyard flocks and commercial poultry facilities in 34 states and in wild birds in 35 states.
In Michigan, avian influenza has been confirmed in 69 wild birds, with the outbreak continuing to spread throughout North America. 
In North America, the first report of the virus in wild mammals was in Canada on May 2, 2022,
when two wild fox kits in Ontario tested positive for the virus.

"HPAI H5N1 viruses may occasionally transmit from birds to mammals, as occurred in these cases, and there may be additional detections in other mammals during this outbreak, but they likely will be isolated cases,..
"At this point, it is unclear how the fox kits became infected, but it’s possible that they were exposed by consuming infected birds, such as waterfowl."

We had a dead fox last week in Minnesota. Tested positive for bird flu.

During all this covid stuff I would occasionally sit in on some podcasts and forums frequented by professional virologists. Every once in awhile a few would chime in their suspicions that many of these emerging viruses actually arose from a lab, be it aids, ebola or whatnot. And some thought ‘bird flu’ might possibly be a bioweapon, being used by one government against another to screw with their food supply and economy. Then would talk about the suspicious circumstances of when and where it would arise. I don’t mean to project conspiracy here, but these guys were experts in that field so take it for what its worth.

Is this Fau-Chi created or a natural virus?

Wasn’t the original birdy flu from china?

Cautiously watching. This one is not to be taken lightly.
