    Bird Flu Update: H5N1 Cases Steady at 71 with Low Human Risk and Declining Nationwide Flu Trends

    Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now

    [Host, energetic news tone] Welcome to Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now, your three-minute briefing on the latest developments. I'm your host.

    First, human cases: The CDC reports a national total of 71 confirmed H5N1 cases since 2024, with 41 linked to dairy herds, 24 to poultry farms and culling, three to other animal exposure, and three unknown. No new human cases announced this week, but Louisiana noted the first US H5N1 death earlier. CDC's latest influenza surveillance for week 1, ending January 10, shows flu positivity dropping to 18.6% nationwide, mostly influenza A, with no specific H5N1 uptick in humans.

    In animals, USDA APHIS confirms recent detections: wild birds in Maryland's Dorchester County on January 6, Colorado's Weld County on January 9, and Washington's Whatcom County on January 7. Mammals include a case in Florida's St. Johns County on December 16. Poultry hits hard: a Minnesota turkey farm devastated, per CIDRAP, amid 67 US flocks confirmed in the past 30 days, including 18 commercial. Dairy ongoing in California, where CDFA says four herds remain quarantined as of late December, down from peaks like 13 in October, with one re-quarantined premises. Kansas faces its worst outbreak, per UNMC reports.

    CDC and USDA updates this week: No major new guidance changes, but CDC notes declining flu trends across all HHS regions, Region 2 highest at 22.9%. USDA continues surveillance; California lifted its poultry and dairy exhibition ban December 19. FDA, USDA, and CDC investigations persist on dairy cattle impacts.

    Research note: GISAID highlights ongoing HPAI spread in birds and cows, with 16,657 wild bird detections nationwide per All About Birds, updated January 21.

    What does this mean for you? Risk to the public stays low—no sustained human-to-human spread. Avoid sick birds or cows, cook poultry and eggs thoroughly, and pasteurize milk. CDC urges flu shots; 90% of pediatric flu deaths this season hit unvaccinated kids.

    Compared to prior weeks: Human cases stable at 71, no surge. Animal detections steady but down in California quarantines from 13 to four. Flu positivity fell from prior highs, signaling containment progress versus holiday peaks.

    Thanks for tuning in—stay safe and come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production. For me, check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

  • H5N1 Bird Flu Spreads in US Dairy Herds: 71 Human Cases Reported, CDC Warns of Low Public Risk

    H5N1 Bird Flu Spreads in US Dairy Herds: 71 Human Cases Reported, CDC Warns of Low Public Risk

    Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now

    [Upbeat news intro music fades in]

    Host: Welcome to Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now, your three-minute briefing on the latest developments. I'm your host.

    Since 2024, the CDC reports 71 confirmed human H5N1 cases nationwide, with 41 linked to dairy herds, 24 to poultry farms, three to other animals, and three unknown. The most recent was a poultry worker in Louisiana, marking the US's first H5N1 death. No new human cases this week, per CDC's FluView for week one ending January 10, 2026. CDC confirms no person-to-person spread.

    In animals, H5N1 persists in dairy cows and wild birds. California's CDFA confirmed two new dairy cases in the last 30 days as of early 2026, with 766 total infected dairies statewide since detection—630 now recovered and released, but under monthly surveillance. Wisconsin's DATCP noted ongoing detections on January 21, 2026, with symptoms like reduced milk in herds. USDA's APHIS logged wild bird detections updated January 21, emphasizing nationwide spread since 2022. Poultry bans continue in high-risk areas like California fairs.

    Past week updates: CDC streamlined reporting July 7, 2025, shifting animal data to USDA and human surveillance to monthly FluView. No new guidance changes; antivirals treat mild human cases effectively. Wisconsin DATCP highlighted national milk testing January 7.

    Research note: A January 21 New York Times report cites scientists' rising concerns over H5N1 mutations in US farms and global variants, urging vigilance without panic.

    For you: Risk remains low for the public—avoid raw milk, per CDC warnings on germs like E. coli. Farm workers: Use PPE, report symptoms. Cook poultry and eggs thoroughly; pasteurization kills the virus. No evidence of food supply threat.

    Compared to prior weeks: FluView shows influenza positivity dropped to 18.6% in week one from 24.7% in week 53, with zero new H5 detections versus steady animal cases. Human total stable at 71; dairy outbreaks slowed in California from 14-35 monthly peaks earlier to two recently.

    Stay informed, stay safe.

  • Bird Flu Outbreak Spreads Across US Dairy Farms with 71 Human Cases Confirmed CDC Reports Safety Measures in Place

    Bird Flu Outbreak Spreads Across US Dairy Farms with 71 Human Cases Confirmed CDC Reports Safety Measures in Place
    Jan 21 2026
    Good evening. I'm bringing you the latest on bird flu in the United States. This is Bird Flu Update: US H5N1 News Now.

    The H5N1 bird flu situation continues to evolve across America. According to the CDC, there have been 71 confirmed and probable human cases of H5N1 since 2024. Of these, 41 cases were linked to exposure on dairy farms, 24 to poultry farms and culling operations, three to other animal exposure, and three cases have unknown exposure sources. Tragically, Louisiana reported the first H5 bird flu death in the United States.

    Recent developments show the outbreak remains active. The California Department of Food and Agriculture confirmed H5N1 in 28 dairy farms within the last 30 days as of late January. Meanwhile, the Rhode Island Department of Health reports that since March 2024, H5N1 has been identified in dairy farms across several states, with more than 50 human cases documented in the US since April 2024. Most people who contracted H5N1 experienced mild illness, received antiviral treatment, and recovered.

    The CDC's genetic analysis reveals evolving viral patterns. On March 19, 2025, the CDC released specimen data from the first human case in Ohio, which belonged to genotype D1.3. Previous cases from farm workers in Iowa and Wisconsin showed genotype D1.1, the same strain detected in poultry and wild birds affecting cases in Washington state and a severe case in British Columbia.

    Regarding food safety, the FDA has reassured the public about dairy products. According to FDA testing conducted between June and July 2024, all 167 retail dairy product samples tested negative for viable H5N1 virus, including aged raw milk cheese, pasteurized fluid milk, and products like cream cheese, butter, and ice cream. The FDA confirms that pasteurization effectively inactivates the H5N1 virus. The agency began sampling 60-day aged raw milk cheese in December 2024, with 110 samples collected by March 2025. Of those, 96 tested negative by PCR, with results expected to continue through spring 2025.

    Comparing current conditions to previous weeks, the situation shows both persistence and caution. As of early January, the CDC reported 17,579 laboratory-confirmed influenza-associated hospitalizations from October 2025 through January 10, 2026, though most were standard seasonal influenza, not H5N1. The weekly hospitalization rate stood at 5.6 per 100,000 population, decreasing from 11.6 the previous week. The cumulative rate was 50.4 per 100,000 population, the second highest since the 2010-2011 season.

    For listeners, here's what you need to know. If you work with poultry or dairy cattle, follow proper safety protocols and report any signs of illness in animals immediately. The general public should know that properly pasteurized dairy products remain safe. If you develop respiratory symptoms and have had animal exposure, consult a healthcare provider and mention your exposure history.

    The CDC and USDA continue investigating this outbreak with coordinated efforts. Experts worldwide monitor the situation as H5N1 remains widespread in wild birds globally.
