The state of Colorado has reported three “presumptive” cases of the bird flu in poultry workers. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said it is sending a team to Colorado to support an investigation and that the risk to the general public remains low.
The three poultry workers experienced mild symptoms, the CDC said in a statement. The infections occurred in workers who were culling infected animals at a poultry facility that was experiencing an outbreak of H5N1 bird flu, the government agency said according to a report by NBC News.
State epidemiologists said the infections appear to have occurred through contact with infected poultry during the culling process.

The three workers in Colorado experienced symptoms including conjunctivitis, or pink eye, and common respiratory infection symptoms, Colorado officials said in a statement, adding that none of the people were hospitalized.
Human infections with H5N1 avian flu are concerning because of the potential to cause severe disease and possibly spark a pandemic if the virus were to change and acquire the ability to spread easily from person to person, the CDC said. And others already know what mutations need to occur in order for this virus to make the jump to humans.

The cases are part of a far-reaching outbreak of H5N1 bird flu that has been spreading globally in wild birds, infecting poultry and various species of mammals and causing an outbreak in U.S. dairy cows. “There are no signs of unexpected increases in flu activity otherwise in Colorado, or in other states affected by H5 bird flu outbreaks in cows and poultry,” the CDC said.
The CDC said its recommendations with regard to H5N1 remain unchanged and urged people to avoid close, prolonged or unprotected exposure to sick or dead animals, including wild birds, poultry, other domesticated birds, and other wild or domesticated animals, including cows. NBC News
Bird flu is magically and coincidentally on the rise now that the rulers have commissioned Moderna to create an mRNA injection for it.
The CDC further stated that to avoid infection, people should avoid “unprotected” exposures to animal feces, litter, unpasteurized or raw milk, or materials that have been near or touched by animals with suspected or confirmed bird flu.
