The H5N1 bird flu virus spreading among cows is infecting more farm workers than experts realized.
The CDC tested 115 workers at farms suffering outbreaks and found eight of them tested positive for the virus - an infection rate of seven percent.
Many of them had no symptoms, which officials fear indicates H5N1 is spreading much more widely than the official numbers show.
Forty-six farm workers have been officially diagnosed with the virus but hundreds of cattle farms in dozens of states are experiencing outbreaks.
The CDC is now recommending anyone exposed to infected animals get tested, not just those who become sick.
The agency said it is not seeing mutations in the virus that would lead to easier transmission or evidence of person-to-person spread.
But disease experts have warned that as the virus circulates, the chance of evolving increases, which could lead to a pandemic.

Convenient... I think a minimum of 8 mNRA shots should be mandated to all liberals and the entire CDC plus 4 years of lockdowns to curb the infections of the same individuals.
Cost of beef is going to go up. It’s expensive to put the bovines in masks.

We're not going to do this.
Nice try.
The CDC needs a multilevel audit. They’ve started as much trouble as the CIA.
