"Michigan's Second Human Case of H5N1 Bird Flu Linked to Dairy Cows"

A second human case of H5N1 bird flu linked to the outbreak in dairy cows has been reported in Michigan, with the infected farm worker having recovered from mild symptoms. This marks the third human case of H5N1 in the United States, with the outbreak in cattle confirmed in late March and affecting 51 herds in nine states. Michigan, reporting the most infected herds, has taken an aggressive stance in its public health response, including testing farm workers and implementing biosecurity measures. Ongoing spread among people has not been detected, and experts believe the virus would need to evolve further to gain the ability to spread easily to and among people.
