Woman Hospitalized In Wyoming With Bird Flu

An older woman in Wyoming has been hospitalized with bird flu. This marks Wyoming’s first human case of avian influenza during the ongoing outbreak in the United States. This is the third confirmed hospitalization related to the H5N1 strain of avian influenza in the U.S.

The woman is said to have been infected by a “backyard flock” of bird flu-infected chickens in Platte County.

Dr. Alexa Harrist, the state health officer and state epidemiologist with the Wyoming Department of Health, said the individual was “older” and had health conditions that can make people more susceptible to illness, according to a report by Cowboy State Daily.

“While this is a significant development, as bird flu activity is monitored in Wyoming and across the country, it is not something we believe requires a high level of concern among most Wyoming residents,” Harrist said, pointing out most of the nation’s almost 70 cases have been people who were directly handling poultry flocks. “Experts continue to track the spread of H5N1 through wild birds, poultry, and dairy cattle across the country. A small number of people have been infected. Most of the confirmed cases involved on-the-job close contact with poultry or cattle and mild symptoms. Unfortunately, this patient’s experience has been more serious.”

Harrist said Wyoming’s health department has followed up with people who had contact with either the poultry flock or the woman who became ill and would continue working with both state and national experts to monitor the situation in Wyoming.

First U.S. Human Bird Flu Death Reported

Bird flu has been spreading in wild birds in the U.S. since 2022. The virus was detected for the first time in U.S. dairy cows last year. It has infected more than 960 cattle herds in 16 states, according to statistics offered by the Associated Press. 

Nearly 70 people in the U.S. have been reported infected with bird flu in the last year, according to data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), though researchers and studies suggest that’s likely an undercount.

The health “authorities” still say that the risk to human beings is low.

The state of Wyoming is asking that all sick birds be reported. This is a precursor to the ruling class destroying backyard flocks out of an “abundance of caution” regarding bird flu.

Is the first step to killing all poultry and egg producers, including backyard flocks? What do you think? Where is this going? Let’s talk about it in the comments!
