Credited from: SALON

  • In 2024, the U.S. reported at least 66 human cases of bird flu, raising concerns about a potential new pandemic.
  • A patient in Louisiana, over 65, has been hospitalized with critical respiratory symptoms, indicating a more severe case.
  • The CDC noted concerning mutations in the virus, which may enhance human-to-human transmission.
  • Despite the mutations, the CDC claims the risk to the public remains low, as no human transmission from the Louisiana patient has been confirmed.
  • Experts warn that rising human cases give the virus more chances to mutate, heightening the risk of a pandemic.
