Summary

The U.S. has reported its first outbreak of the rare H5N9 bird flu strain at a duck farm in Merced County, California, where nearly 119,000 birds were culled by December 2.

Authorities also detected the more common H5N1 strain on the same farm. Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) has been spreading globally, impacting poultry, mammals, and even causing human fatalities.

The USDA is conducting investigations and heightened surveillance in response to this outbreak, which marks a significant development in U.S. poultry health.

Remember last time there was pandemic?

It’s going to disappear. One day — it’s like a miracle — it will disappear. And from our shores, we — you know, it could get worse before it gets better. It could maybe go away. We’ll see what happens. Nobody really knows.
