Since the Department of Agriculture detected the virus in dairy herds in March , more than 50 people have tested positive for it, with 34 reported cases in California alone.

Since 2022 , millions of egg-laying chickens have been exposed to, infected with and culled or killed by H5N1 in the U.S ..

Peter Chin-Hong : A major bird flu outbreak does not have to become another pandemic.
