CDC A(H5N1) Bird Flu Response Update, July 19, 2024 ... Finally, we confirm in today’s Spotlight two additional cases of avian influenza in Colorado poultry farm workers. There was a recent poultry outbreak on the farm with human cases that were exposed to the virus related to a culling of birds, and we have confirmed H5N1 infection in six poultry workers from that event. The infected workers have all experienced mild symptoms, and workers exposed to the virus have been offered antiviral medication. ... Since April 2024, 10 human cases of avian influenza A(H5) infection have been reported in the United States. Four of these cases were associated with exposure to sick dairy cows and six were associated with exposure to H5N1-infected poultry.* [A][B] This includes two additional cases in Colorado that were confirmed by CDC this week and not previously reported. The two new cases were in poultry workers with exposure to infected poultry during depopulation and disposal activities. Similar to previous cases, illness was mild. Based on the information available at this time, CDC’s current H5N1 bird flu human health risk assessment for the U.S. general public remains low. DJ, So again...is Colorado that hard hit or simply testing enough ? https://flutrackers.com/forum/forum/united-states/h5n1-tracking-af/colorado/968376-colorado-bird-flu-in-mammals-and-livestock-2023-2024?view=stream or https://flutrackers.com/forum/forum/united-states/h5n1-tracking-af/colorado/968376-colorado-bird-flu-in-mammals-and-livestock-2023-2024?view=stream latest; Colorado has skipped from #43 to #45 so I guess that is 2 more herds, i.e #44 and #45 (#43 we already have denoted above). DJ, Is the virus or the testing more "agressive"?
