WHO Warns of Bird Flu Spread to Livestock Outside US through Migratory Birds as Outbreak Confirmed in Dairy Herds, Single Human Case Reported by CDC

Fox News medical contributor Dr. Marc Siegel did not discuss bird flu or solar eclipse safety in this article, as it focused on a World Health Organization official warning that there is a risk of H5N1 bird flu virus spreading to cows in other countries through migratory birds beyond the United States following confirmations by U.S. officials about infected dairy cattle herds and one person in Texas since late March. Wenqing Zhang, head of WHO’s Global Influenza Programme at a news briefing in Geneva urged vigilance despite deeming overall public health risk low due to regular updates received from the U.S., early sharing of virus genetic sequence and collaboration with CDC.
