We need an investigation into potential H2H spread in Oregon and the 1 million H5N1 tests in the U.S. must be accessible to farm works and the general public!

DJ https://x.com/RickABright seems to take the stories serious enough to "re-twitter" them. 

My -non expert- view;
-The "Mo"(re)twitters in itself may not be correct...
-However 10 human confirmed cases of H5N1 is alarming
-Indications for (a.o.) cow-to-cow spread (droplet/aerosol)
-The 6 latest Colorado poultry workers did get the H5N1 from infected poultry that did have the cow-type of H5N1 (so from cattle to poultry to humans)
-Given the "running after the facts" in CoViD a much more agressive approach for H5N1 may be/is needed.

The CDC has 1 million tests for H5N1-in fact that is not that much on a population of 335 million US citizens. But better use them in time-to avoid a wide spread H2H H5N1 !

Avoiding panic is a goal however restoring trust HAS to be a main goal !
-------
I expect we may already be in an early stage of a H5N1 pandemic. H5N1 is that widespread in mammals around the globe-mostly after eating infected birds/prey it may be impossible to see further spread into humans. 

For that matter pets are a risk. Cats, dogs may get in contact with infected (dead) animals and catch the virus.

Also "droppings" (infected birds, mice, rats) are a growing risk. 

Just my non-expert view...Trying to make up my opinion...

CoViD -less immunity- may give H5N1-flu more room...A risk may detecting CoViD then not testing for H5N1...
