A person hospitalized in Washington has tested positive for H5N1, pending confirmatory testing (because that's the system). First *KNOWN* case this year. Under the Trump admin, the CDC has barely tested any farmworkers for H5N1.

Preliminary human bird flu case reported in Washington state If confirmed, it will be the first human bird flu case in the United States since February. www.cidrap.umn.edu/a...

Last year, the Canadian government ordered a flock of ostriches to be killed after some contracted bird flu. The movement to save the birds became a right-wing cause célèbre—and sparked a standoff with authorities, Daniel Engber reports:
