No dates are provided, and the investigation is reportedly ongoing, but at this time they don't know how the child was exposed.  
Today's press release warns on the consumption of raw milk, and other raw dairy products, and avoid contact with `sick or dead birds, especially wild birds and poultry.'
The statement also repeatedly stresses that `. . .  the risk to the general public remains low as there is currently no evidence of person-to-person transmission.' 
While the majority of known H5N1 infections have been among occupationally exposed farm workers, this would the second case in California without a known exposure.

The child initially tested for COVID-19, influenza, and RSV based on symptoms and tested positive for influenza A. As part of SFDPH enhanced surveillance, the specimen was subsequently tested for H5N1. An initial investigation by SFDPH has not revealed how the child may have contracted H5N1 bird flu. 

DJ, Unwelcome news-100,000's of Californians being evacuated (climate collapse fires..), care facilities overstretched, air quality bad...

Information is the most major tool in any crisis...reporting a "possible case" after recovery is an insult to both science and the public...

	https://flutrackers.com/forum/ or https://flutrackers.com/forum/ "latest news", https://afludiary.blogspot.com/ or https://afludiary.blogspot.com/ , https://www.thailandmedical.news/ or https://www.thailandmedical.news/ and some twitter/"X" sources I do use to get a basic picture-besides that also NL info like https://www.rivm.nl/en/coronavirus-covid-19/current/weekly-update or https://www.rivm.nl/en/coronavirus-covid-19/current/weekly-update The "news" is now overloading my capacity to deal with...How big a risk is measles-for what groups ? Is China in a "special" health care crisis-worse then some western countries are in ? I-again-am NOT any kind of expert...trying to get a basic view... NL excess deaths https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-mortality-p-scores-average-baseline?country=USA~GBR~NLD or https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/excess-mortality-p-scores-average-baseline?country=USA~GBR~NLD still high...but -for the moment- NL health care may be in a better position then a few other countries..(RS-virus in <5 y/o is a crisis...young children from NL moved to child-ICU in Germany an exception). NL has a relative high level of vaccinations in those that can get a vaccination (often 60 y/o+ and people with chronic disease-vaccines tax-funded). But schools/workplaces restarted january 6...so cases very likely will increase... https://www.corona-lokaal.nl/locatie/Nederland/waterzuivering/Nederland or https://www.corona-lokaal.nl/locatie/Nederland/waterzuivering/Nederland however corona-particles in waste water in NL -for now-decreasing... DJ-My view; We ARE !!! already in the "mega mix diseases next pandemic" !!! How bad it will get depends on a lot of factors...YOU can limit spread ! Governments/politics...and to be honest-my opinion-lots of experts FAIL !!!
