The White House Coronavirus Response Coordinator under President Trump calls for wider-spread testing of H5N1 cases.

Dr. Deborah Birx : “We kind of have our head in the sand about how widespread this is from the zoonotic standpoint, from the animal-to-human standpoint” A spokesperson for the CDC says comments are “out of date, misleading and inaccurate”.

The CDC has confirmed 65 cases of H5N1 bird flu in humans in 2024 .

Of those, 39 were associated with dairy herds and 23 with poultry farms and culling operations.

Since the virus was first found in cattle in March , outbreaks have been detected in herds in 16 states.

The USDA began a national milk testing program to track the spread of the virus through dairy cattle.
