A new report details the bird flu cases of two pet cats in Michigan whose owners work in the dairy industry. Earlier in the month, a data table from the report may have appeared on the CDC website before being taken down.

    If I’m reading this correctly, the reported cases occured in May of 2024? So, 8-9 months ago? I understand testing, etc., does take some time, but it feels unreasonably long for this information to become public. Are my expectations out of line?

    That makes me wonder—are there any major animal diseases for which humans are the reservoir species?

Welcome to the News community!

Rules:

1. Be civil

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.

Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.

Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.


9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.

All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description.
