The H5N1 bird flu virus is changing, creeping closer to humans, and getting more opportunities to adapt.
The virus has killed tens of millions of birds and killed more than 40,000 sea lions and seals.
The risk to humans is low, but experts are increasingly concerned that the virus could make a sustained jump into humans and start spreading among us.
A new mutation in the virus's replication machinery suggests the virus has started adapting.
The CDC has reported no evidence that the coughing farmworker spread the virus to anyone else.
But that doesn't mean H5N1 can't mutate to achieve human-to-human transmission.
Many experts fear the USDA and CDC aren't monitoring cattle and farmworkers closely enough to catch concerning mutations early.
