The bird flu has spread to cattle in the United States. Inactive fragments of the virus have been found in milk. The World Health Organization rates the current risk for humans as low but epidemiologists all over the world are on high alert. I have the summary.

The WHO evaluation is here: https://cdn.who.int/media/docs/default-source/global-influenza-programme/2024_04_23_fao-woah-who_h5n1_assessment.pdf

The paper about the farm worker is here: nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc2405371
