In a follow-up to the announcement earlier this afternoon from the Colorado Health Department, we have the following statement from the CDC on the three latest confirmed H5N1 cases among poultry workers.

Confirmation of these three additional cases brings the total number of human cases of H5 bird flu reported in the United States since April 2024 to 13. Prior to 2024, the only previous human case of H5N1 bird flu in the United States was reported among a poultry worker in Colorado in April 2022. Counting that case, there have been 14 total human cases of H5 bird flu in the United States since 2022.

DJ, My view-even communication on number of tested cases is far from perfect...Another question is the link between increase of CoViD and H5N1 increases...

Were the infected poultry workers vaccinated against CoViD or not ? Did they have had a recent CoViD infection ? Do they also test positive for CoViD ? Is there any such testing ? 

A "double" infection of CoViD and H5N1 may be worse...
