USDA said affected dairy cows do not appear to be transmitting the virus to other cattle within the same herd. ...Additional testing was initiated on March 22 and over the weekend because farms have also reported finding deceased wild birds on their properties. Based on findings from Texas, the detections appear to have been introduced by wild birds.

So as far as we know, still not mammal to mammal

Now we know better:

But hey, still not human to human. Lets give it another week?

Did not see your notification till now, literally right after reading the post you linked lol

I was just trying to be positive originally. With the abhorrent way we farm, it was of course only a matter of time - just thought it would be longer than a week.

Thank you for linking that though! Not news I'd want to miss.
