"Bird flu spread to a human."
In early April, a Texas farmer tested positive for highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), commonly known as “bird flu.” The virus has been spreading among birds and most recently, cattle, but this is only the second-ever case of transmission to humans in the US. The CDC says 1) risk to humans remains low but states have been asked to plan for testing and treating affected farm workers, and 2) store bought dairy products are still safe to consume.
