It’s my understanding that transmission to humans has been observed but transmission between humans has not. If that changes we’re all going to want to take notice.

Totally this - one of my concern about the current outbreak is that this outbreak is in prisoners, so men who are kept in closer than normal quarters, increasing the risk of a person to person transmission taking hold.
Hopeful that this fizzles out and we can worry about something else next year, but there seems like a good chance that we are now just waiting for this to spread between humans, and it appears bird flu is going no-where.

Wow, the spread of highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in both commercial and backyard flocks is concerning. It highlights the need for stringent biosecurity measures, especially since wild birds play a major role in spreading the virus during migration seasons. For those of us with backyard flocks, this is a reminder to stay vigilant and take all necessary precautions. Anyone else here had to deal with HPAI or have tips on preventing its spread?
