ai generated text

A state of emergency was declared in California to combat the spread of the virus, which has affected over a quarter of the state's dairies in the last month. However, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has stated that the risk to the general public remains low. The severity of the human cases is a cause for concern, with increased health risks associated with severe respiratory illness.

    1. CDC confirms first severe case of H5N1 Bird Flu in the US. While an investigation into the source of the infection is ongoing, it has been determined that the patient had exposure to sick and dead birds in back yard flocks.
    2. Markets where live birds are sold can also be a source of bird flu. Avoid visiting these markets if you're travelling to countries that have had an outbreak of bird flu.

    1. The mild cases that we've seen in the United States largely reflect that many of the individuals are getting infected by dairy cows and that's very different than getting infected with infected birds.
    2. If you look at the genotype of this patient in Louisiana, it wasn't the cattle strain. It was a wild bird strain.
