https://abcnews.go.com/US/wireStory/california-dairy-workers-infected-bird-flu-latest-human-114482799Two California dairy workers have been confirmed to have been infected by the H5N1 dairy virus. Both were dairy workers. It was expected because California has had the highest herd detection rate because they have been tracking dairy worker contacts from infected herds, and have been identifying infected herds before the dairy farmers had detected symptoms. It has been likely that dairy workers were spreading the virus to poultry farms since the beginnings in Texas. The virus only is infectious off clothing or skin for less than 30 minutes, and they knew that poultry farms and states like Kansas did not get infected cattle. Infected dairy workers have likely been spreading the virus from the beginning.
California was not testing the dairy workers, they were only tracking their contacts. These two had the eye infection symptoms, and were tested.
The CDC is still claiming the danger of human to human infection is low, but the more herds infected the more humans will be infected, and the greater the chance that the virus will mutate into something much worse. They are claiming that this isn't evidence for person to person transmission, but that isn't the major issue with infected herds. It is the virus evolving to better infect humans that is the issue that they should be trying to control, and the CDC refuses to do anything about that.
California is trying to detect all the infected herds as quickly as possible, and they are using possible human transmission to other farms to do it, and it is obviously working. Over 50 herds have been detected nearly all in the last couple weeks.
