Michigan farmworker diagnosed with bird flu, becoming 2nd U.S. case tied
to dairy cows

NEW YORK — A Michigan dairy worker has been diagnosed with bird flu -
the second human case associated with an outbreak in U.S. dairy cows.

The patient had mild eye symptoms and has recovered, U.S. and Michigan
health officials said in announcing the case Wednesday. The worker had
been in contact with cows presumed to be infected, and the risk to the
public remains low, officials said.

A nasal swab from the person tested negative for the virus, but an eye
swab tested positive, “indicating an eye infection,” the U.S. Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention said in a statement.

The first case happened in late March, when a farmworker in Texas was
diagnosed in what officials called the first known instance globally of
a person catching this version of bird flu from a mammal. That patient
also reported only eye inflammation and recovered.

Here come the dictator Democrats tyrannical mask and vaxxine mandates
and prolly social distancing from cows too.

But don't fret, Dr. Cowchi is on it.

I passed a dairy farm yesterday and evidently they are following
protocols. All the cows in the field were at least 6 feet apart. Made
me feel better about drinking milk.
