The detection of bird flu in humans has historically been rare, yet this year has shown an alarming trend with cases on the rise, particularly in Louisiana and California.
The state's response includes a declaration of emergency to provide quick access to funding, aimed at containing the spread of the H5N1 virus and protecting public health.
The CDC indicated that the first severe human case of H5N1 in Louisiana concerned a 65-year-old with underlying health conditions, raising concerns over vulnerabilities among affected populations.
Since the H5N1 strain was detected in the US, it has now spread across dozens of dairy farms, which has raised the alarm for public health officials about an escalating threat.
