https://t.co/9vbyILAWiM -
JULY 12, 2024
Oklahoma has become the 13th state to have a confirmed positive case of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI) in a dairy herd, according to the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry.
According to a press release on Friday, the positive sample was collected in April and submitted for testing. The press release stated that the dairy herd has fully recovered.
Department officials say that there is no concern for the safety of milk or dairy products.
According to ODAFF, some clinical signs of HPAI in dairy cattle are:
A drop in rumination
A decline in feed intake
A decrease in milk yield
Thicker, concentrated, colostrum-like milk
Lethargy
Dehydration
Fever DJ; H5N1 is still spreading in both US cattle and farmworkers with lots of cases being missed. Also cats, rats, mice must be infected on top of birds and "wild" mammals...

BNO News @BNOFeed · Colorado Health Department statement on 3 human cases of H5N1 bird flu in poultry workers.
It notes there are other workers who have symptoms and are currently being tested. see; https://x.com/BNOFeed/status/1811935886000423163/photo/1 - https://x.com/BNOFeed/status/1811935886000423163/photo/1 or https://x.com/BNOFeed/status/1811935886000423163/photo/1 for Colorado press release. https://cdphe.colorado.gov/press-release/colorado-state-health-officials-identify-a-human-case-of-avian-flu - https://cdphe.colorado.gov/press-release/colorado-state-health-officials-identify-a-human-case-of-avian-flu or https://cdphe.colorado.gov/press-release/colorado-state-health-officials-identify-a-human-case-of-avian-flu =from july 3...(??? so where is the new press release ? link to https://cdphe.colorado.gov/press-release/cdphe.colorado.gov/animal-related-diseases/hpai-h5n1 "page not found"...) https://x.com/RickABright - - https://x.com/RickABright - < 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;"> This is very concerning, whether they had direct contact with sick chickens or not. It can be the tip of the iceberg of what's to come if this outbreak is allowed to continue to spread unmitigated and untracked.
It is more important now than ever before for https://x.com/CDCgov - @CDCgov to finally start collecting serum from each infected person, their immediate / close contacts (on farm, family, community), and look closely at sequences in real time to track the virus evolution.
If reports of conjunctivitis & respiratory infection are confirmed, this needs to be taken very seriously this time to check for source of infection and potential spread to others.
https://x.com/WHO - @WHO DJ, Again there have to be more cases...this latest one is from a poultry farm worker...

CDPHE’s State Public Health Laboratory sent the specimens generating the preliminary results to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for confirmatory testing. The workers were culling poultry at a farm in northeast Colorado and exhibited mild symptoms, including conjunctivitis (pink eye) and common respiratory infection symptoms. None of the individuals were hospitalized. State public health officials have collected additional samples from symptomatic workers, which will be tested this weekend. State epidemiologists suspect the poultry workers’ cases are a result of working directly with infected poultry. The investigation is ongoing with support from CDC. On July 3, https://cdphe.colorado.gov/press-release/colorado-state-health-officials-identify-a-human-case-of-avian-flu - CDPHE identified a case of avian flu in a Colorado dairy worker . It is safe to eat properly handled and cooked poultry products. The proper handling and cooking of poultry, meat, and eggs kills bacteria and viruses, including avian flu viruses. If you work with dairy cows or poultry that may have avian flu and you start to feel sick, seek medical care or call CDPHE at tel:303-692-2700 - 303-692-2700 (after normal business hours: tel:303-370-9395 - 303-370-9395 ). The Department can help you get a flu test and medicine if needed. More information about avian flu in humans is available at http://cdphe.colorado.gov/animal-related-diseases/hpai-h5n1 - cdphe.colorado.gov/animal-related-diseases/hpai-h5n1 . DJ, The more spread the more the virus will be able to infect better...(via selection of mutations. Spread in humans/mammals is "bad news"!) |
