"Mapping the Risk: Bird Flu Spillover Threat to Humans and Dairy Cows"

TL;DR Summary
Bird flu outbreaks have been reported in fifteen farms across six US states, raising concerns about the virus spreading to people. The virus has been detected in cattle, leading to culling of nearly 2 million birds and potential impact on the milk supply and egg prices. A farm worker in Texas has tested positive for the virus, and concerns are growing about the virus's ability to infect a wide range of mammals. Health agencies are monitoring the situation closely, as experts worry about the virus gaining mutations that could enable it to infect and spread between mammals.
