This is very concerning, whether they had direct contact with sick chickens or not. It can be the tip of the iceberg of what's to come if this outbreak is allowed to continue to spread unmitigated and untracked. 

It is more important now than ever before for @CDCgov
 to finally start collecting serum from each infected person, their immediate / close contacts (on farm, family, community), and look closely at sequences in real time to track the virus evolution.

If reports of conjunctivitis & respiratory infection are confirmed, this needs to be taken very seriously this time to check for source of infection and potential spread to others. 

@WHO

DJ, Again there have to be more cases...this latest one is from a poultry farm worker...
