I didn't read the whole thing, but I hope we're not going to have problems like with covid.
Avian influenza A (H5N1), commonly known as bird flu, continues to make its way through the U.S., as Hawaii joins the list of affected states.
The Hawaiian Department of Agriculture (HDOA) reported last week that bird flu was confirmed in a backyard flock of various birds in Central Oahu.
At least 10 birds — including ducks, geese and a zebra dove — were reported dead on the property on Nov. 12 and were then sent for confirmatory testing.
BIRD FLU LEAVES TEEN IN CRITICAL CONDITION AFTER COUNTRY'S FIRST REPORTED CASE
The department stated in a press release that highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) causes "severe illness with a high mortality rate among affected birds."
The presence of bird flu was detected through the National Wastewater Surveillance System, marking the first confirmed detection in Hawaii.
The HDOA has issued a quarantine order for the site of infection, requiring all birds on the property to be "depopulated and the premises cleaned and disinfected."
FIRST CASE OF HUMAN BIRD FLU DIAGNOSED WITHOUT EXPOSURE TO INFECTED ANIMALS, CDC SAYS
It is confirmed to be the same strain that has infected dairy cows and domestic poultry in U.S. mainland states, including California.
As of Nov. 18, California has confirmed 27 human cases of bird flu, according to the California Department of Public Health (CDPH).
The California Department of Food and Agriculture also confirmed bird flu in 335 dairy farms in Central California as of that same date.
These outbreaks have affected more than one-fourth of California’s farms, per reports, boosting the national total in dairy herds to 549 in 15 states.
The CDPH confirmed on its website that the agency is monitoring bird flu in animals and people working closely with poultry and cows, and has distributed protective gear to these individuals.
