CDC suppression of information

https://www.cdc.gov/bird-flu/situation-summary/index.html
After the cats likely got infected by the dairy virus by eating infected meat the CDC has stopped differentiating the B3.13 dairy genotype from the D1.1 wild bird H5N1.  That information has not been released for the Wisconsin poultry worker.
This is likely to cover up their inept response to the dairy infection, but is resulting in their treatment of the D1.1 infections as ineptly as they have treated the dairy infections.  The CDC has screwed up by the numbers since the start of the infection back in March 2024.  Even though they knew that dairy workers were being infected (they had already isolated live virus from the first infected dairy worker, and cultured it) they refused to start dairy worker testing and contact tracing.  It looks like the virus has mainly been spread by dairy workers shared between farms, and that also work on commercial poultry farms.  They have known this since June 2024 with the release of the USDA findings about shared dairy workers between infected dairies and other dairy farms and poultry farms.
California demonstrated this by finding an inordinate number of infected dairies by contact tracing.  The USDA started to assist with contact tracing and they ended up detecting over 70% of the dairy herds in California as being infected.  This should tell anyone that the efforts of the other infected states was inadequate.  Colorado is the only state that tested all their dairy herds (they only had around 100 herds in the whole state) and over 60% of the herds were found to be infected.
California started testing dairy workers and found the largest number of infected workers by testing only 130 individuals, but they quit testing for some reason, and for over a month the CDC has only claimed +530 (130 of those from California) individuals tested in all the US.  California claimed that they were going to start testing dairy workers and their close contacts, but that never happened.  They claim over 5,000 dairy workers at infected farms, but nearly all of them remain untested.
For some reason California also refused to limit dairy workers working on poultry farms and ended up with over 40% of their commercial layer flocks infected.
The number of tested workers likely includes the antibody tested Colorado and Michigan workers where 7% were found to have been infected, but those 8 individuals are not included in the table of infected.  Nor are the 2 individuals that were shown to be infected by antibody testing in Texas early in the infection.  One of the Texas dairy workers did not have cattle contact (they worked in the cafeteria), and could have been human to human transmission because the other infected dairy worker worked on the same farm.
The suppression isn't just limited to not testing, and not including positive cases, but the CDC has started to not make a distinction between the B3.13 infections from the D1.1 infections.  This is tragically stupid because the two have to be dealt with in different ways.  All they needed to do with B3.13 was to detect the infected dairies and test all the dairy workers, but that was never done.  The D1.1 genotype is coming from wild birds, and they need to monitor people with bird contact.  They need to think about vaccinating these people and their animals against the D1.1 genotype.  Instead of doing nothing but monitoring, they need to find out where the D1.1 genotype exists, educate the people with potential contact, and try to protect these people and their animals.  If their animals show symptoms they need to limit bird contact, contact the USDA and CDC immediately, and guys with hazmat suits will be out to check their flocks because the testers do not want to be infected either.  In both cases the D1.1 genotype has produced the next pandemic virus.  The claim is that those mutations occurred within the infected individuals, but it would have had to have happened twice thousands of miles apart.  This means that the next person to be infected likely has a good chance of also producing the next pandemic virus.  The claim is that the D1.1 virus had evolved to better infect humans in both patients and that likely contributed to their serious infection (the Louisiana patient died and the Canadian patient could not breath on their own for a period of time).
The CDC should be doing a lot more than just "monitoring" and waiting for the next pandemic to start.
