The Hill ^ | 11/22/2024 | Juliann Ventura

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed that bird flu was found in a child in California, according to a press release issued Friday.

The case is the first reported infection in a child in the U.S., according to the release. It was detected through influenza testing and reported to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) through influenza surveillance, the release noted.

This case marks 55 total cases reported in the U.S. this year, with 29 of them being in California, the release said.

The release said that after initial testing, there were low levels of viral material collected, and follow-up testing several days later revealed that the child was negative for bird flu, but was positive for other respiratory viruses.

The release noted that the child reportedly had mild symptoms and received flu antivirals, and is now recovering from the illness.

Whatever happened to the FReeper who posted the daily death-o-meter? 🤔

Are we going to have to read his daily crap again?

How potentially serious is bird flu actually? If it became able to spread easily from human to human?
I had relatives die in the 1918/19 Spanish Flu pandemic; cousins, twice-removed.
I recall reading that there were remote ?Alaskan villages that survived the pandemic unscathed by station stationing armed sentries and denying entry to any outsiders approaching. My cousins were in their 20s both and left young children behind to be raised by relatives.

I still remember the SWINE FLU EPIDEMIC of 1976. More people died of heart attacks while standing in line for the shot than even got the Swine Flu.

They had almost 5M stashed away in NC back in August, with the capacity to have upped it, just from that facility, to almost 20M by now:
