They have had a couple of commercial flocks go down, apparently, with the dairy virus, but they refuses to test their dairies. Oregon is recommending that people do not drink unpasteurized dairy products, so they likely have a good idea where the virus is coming from. https://www.opb.org/article/2024/11/15/oregon-first-human-case-bird-avian-flu-influenza/ The refusal to identify all the infected dairies and try to contain the infection is just crazy at this time. The workers do not know that they should be wearing protective gear, and more of them can expect to be infected. Ron Okimoto
