Weather’s role in wildfires in Atlantic Canada | SaltWire #weather #climatechange #wildfireseasonWASHINGTON - The Biden administration said on Friday it will provide nearly $200 million to fight the spread of avian flu among dairy cows, in the government's latest bid to contain outbreaks that have fueled concerns about human infections with the H5N1 virus.
"USDA is doing the work to track and eliminate H5N1 in the dairy cattle herd," said Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack on a call with reporters. "The risk to the public from this outbreak remains low," HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra said on the call. While the CDC has said the public health risk is low, scientists are closely watching for changes in the virus that could make it spread more easily among humans.“At this stage there’s no concern about the safety of the commercial milk supply or beef supply,” Vilsack said on the call. Health experts have cautioned against the consumption of raw milk but said pasteurization appears to kill the virus.
