 Study suggests the virus can spread through the respiratory system but infected milk is probably driving the outbreak in the US.-  < aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="menu" aria-label="More" role="" ="-175oi2r r-1777fci r-bt1l66 r-bztko3 r-lrvibr r-1loqt21 r-1ny4l3l" -testid="caret" ="" style="text-align: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-family: inherit; align-items: stretch; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: black; display: flex; flex-basis: auto; flex-direction: column; flex-shrink: 0; list-style: none; margin: 0px; min-height: 20px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; : relative; : 0; overflow: ; justify-: center; cursor: pointer; outline-style: none; user-: none;"> "The relentless march of a highly pathogenic avian influenza virus strain, known as H5N1, to become an unprecedented panzootic continues unchecked," argues a new #ScienceEditorial. https://scim.ag/7Ge DJ, in fact still not all of how the H5N1 virus spreads seems to be understood. So it is "over optimistic" to claim "it is in control"... The number of animals -in the wild- catching/spreading the virus simply is too much to stop the further spread. When lots of wild birds did get infected-eaten by mammals that also got infected, we had a problem !
