ai generated text

According to recent reports, a Michigan dairy farm worker has been diagnosed with bird flu (H5N1), marking the third instance of the virus spilling over from infected cows to humans in the US. The case differs from the previous two instances, where workers only experienced mild eye symptoms, as this individual developed respiratory symptoms and was treated with antivirals. Notably, only 39 people have been tested for H5N1 during the ongoing 2024 outbreak.
