NBC News’ Evan Bush reported this past weekend that
“the simmering threat of bird flu may be inching closer to boiling over.
This year has been marked by a series of concerning developments in the virus’ spread.”
“Since April, at least 65 people have tested positive for the virus
— the first U.S. cases other than a single infection in 2022,” Bush reported.
“Dairy cow herds in 16 states have been infected this year.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention confirmed the country’s first severe bird flu infection on (last) Wednesday,
a critically ill patient in Louisiana.
And California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency last week in response to rampant outbreaks in cows and poultry.”
“‘The traffic light is changing from green to amber,’ said Dr. Peter Chin-Hong,
a professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco, who studies infectious diseases,” according to Bush’s reporting.
“‘So many signs are going in the wrong direction"
