Of course, no data on date of symptom onset or other info. And no additional sequences share by CDC yet from +5 cases in CO.
As outbreak gets worse, transparency & timeliness will get worse. Politics will play bigger role as we near election.
Additional data streams are needed to get truth in a timely manner. - < 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;"> US: Tenth human cases of H5N1 confirmed

157 dairy cow herds in 13 U.S. states have confirmed cases of H5N1.

When you follow the H5N1 "story" than you know H5N1 must have been widespread both in birds and mammals. In cattle part of the spread very likely is airborne (droplet-6 feet/2 meter distance or aerosol-wide area). So it has to result in human cases-very likely spreading via droplet/aerosol to other humans... For now "mild symptomatic" cases were reported-as far as tested. In the US no one has died -yet- from H5N1...as far as we know. However the number of H5N1 human cases in the US -most farmworkers- may run in the hundreds... Again-I am NOT any kind of expert ! Since infected cattle a.o. got exported to Mexico (from Texas a.o.) and raw milk consumption in Mexico is higher than in the US H5N1 may be in Mexico as well...but for now also a/mild-symptomatic. A lot of farm workers are from Central America-if ill they may be deported back to that -kept poor-region... International air travel may see H5N1 soon showing up in other places-if my idea/view is correct AND if there is any testing...
