This is an article updating the situation, but it doesn't account for 
the total increase at the USDA site.  This article only claims 30 new 
herds instead of the 71 put up on the site.  It notes 4 new human 
infections in California and the 3 Oregon cases that came from 
Washington.  There is also a report that they are detecting H5 in the 
waste water of Los Angeles County even though the infections are North 
of LA in the central valley.  They claim to be trying to run down where 
the virus is coming from.

The CDC confirmed today that the number of infected dairy workers in 
California rose to 20.  The CDC continues to not claim the close contact 
of the Missouri patient as having been infected.  Maintaining that there 
was only one infection in Missouri.
