🦆 Bird flu in WA:
This is the first-ever human case of H5N5 avian influenza. It's been seen in animals before, but never before in people.
It was confirmed in a Grays Harbor County resident that had backyard poultry which may have mingled with wild birds.

According to CDC's tracker, about 870 farmworkers had been tested for bird flu between March 2024 and March 2025. Another 10 were tested in April. Zero since then 🙃
