Dr. Shira Doron emphasized that while the risk of bird flu becoming a pandemic remains low, ongoing monitoring is crucial due to the unpredictable nature of viruses.
Doron pointed out that the confirmed human cases in the U.S. likely underrepresent the true number, citing a tendency to overlook mild cases that may not get reported.
The recent death from bird flu in Louisiana illustrates that those with underlying health conditions are at greater risk, underscoring the importance of awareness and safety measures.
The intersection of infected wild birds and backyard flocks can heighten the risk of transmission, indicating that public health and veterinary measures must be aligned.
