It should be noted that the infected dairy herds are in the same county 
with the infected layer flocks.  The first Arizona herd was confirmed to 
be infected in Feb., but it looks like they refused to restrict dairy 
worker movements again because more Arizona herds were infected in April 
and early May before these poultry flocks went down.
