Pixie-thanks for a good link;
https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influenza-bird-flu/officials-probe-heat-wave-factors-h5n1-spread-colorado-poultry-cullers or https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/avian-influenza-bird-flu/officials-probe-heat-wave-factors-h5n1-spread-colorado-poultry-cullers ; As the investigation continues into recent avian flu infections in as many as five workers who culled Colorado poultry, officials today said that industrial fans in poultry barns where temperatures exceeded 104°F could have spread the virus through windblown feathers and through the air, potentially reducing the effectiveness of personal protective equipment (PPE). Also, early genetic analysis suggests that the virus that infected the poultry and the workers is the same H5N1 genotype infecting dairy cattle, a useful clue for officials who are examining connections between the farms.
