The previous avian influenza outbreak in 2022 that decimated layer 
flocks was not H5N1, but another strain of high path avian influenza. 
H5N1 did enter the country around 2022, but seemed to be infecting 
mammals and wild birds.  There was a poultry farm that was infected with 
H5N1 and one poultry worker got infected.  H5N1 made it down to South 
America and was killing aquatic mammals like seals, and infected goats 
in North America.

They knew that they could prevent poultry farms from going down if they 
identified infected herds and prevented dairy workers from going from 
farm to farm, but the USDA and CDC decided not to do contact tracing, 
nor identify infected herds, and only recommeded that dairy workers in 
contact with infected animals should not go to other farms.  The virus 
was allowed to spread from herds that were never identified as being 
infected.
