California cases exploding with USDA assistance.

Oct 24th the USDA announced that it was going to assist California on contact tracing to identify infected herds.  Oct. 30th the USDA announced that they were implementing bulk milk tank testing of all dairies in states affected by the virus, likely due to what they found by contact tracing.  Last Thursday they were only claiming 203 herds infected in California, but they added 71 more confirmed herds today. Google in their AI summary is claiming more than 300 California herds infected, but I can't find the article making that claim.  From what was added to the USDA site today it looks like 274 herds have been infected.
The Oregon case has been confirmed to be the dairy virus.  They do need to start testing dairy herds in Oregon.
