Maybe now that this is happening in Silicon Valley some attention will be paid. The tech bros are in a wee bit of danger, with both #H5N1 and #H1H1 circulating hand in hand.

CDC has new #H5 detections in wastewater (in addition to CA, of course).
Wyoming (new), Salt Lake City (again), and it's back in Dallas.

It seems to be increasingly difficult for the CDC to provide, & even obtain, meaningful data surrounding these cases.
We haven't received symptom detail or a full sequence in quite a while.

🤔
Oddly, these recent #H5 detections in Iowa wastewater are not in the Northwest portion of the state, where a massive commercial poultry flock has now tested positive for #H5N1.
Pigs? Cows? 🧐
It's poultry that was +, so we're not talking about dairy processing plants as the herald.
⚠️
WastewaterSCAN has detected #H5 in Iowa.
There are no current declared detections of #H5N1 in poultry or dairy in Iowa.

California adds one additional human #H5N1 case for a total of 32.
There is a dearth of accompanying detail about these new cases. ⚠️
