A man in Colorado is the first human in the U.S. to test positive for bird flu, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention announced Thursday.
Bird Flu symptoms in humans
While possible, avian flu virus infections in humans are considered rare. The human infection reported in Colorado is only the second confirmed human infection of the present outbreak in the world.

Is two type of bird flu, A H5 and H5N1, the case in Colorado was the AH5, the common H5N1, is the one that surface every year, I apologize, we have cases in GA every year but they are rare on human and has been in wild life population, since the virus surface in the US only 4 cases and is been low grade bird flu.
Sorry for the mistake
The patient has since recovered after reporting fatigue that lasted a few days as his only symptom. He was treated with oseltamivir, an antiviral influenza medication commonly sold under the Tamiflu brand.
The virus was detected on a single nasal specimen and could have been present in the patient's nose without causing infection, according to a statement from Colorado authorities.
This case marks the second human case associated this group of H5 viruses — the first case occurred in the U.K. in December 2021, according to the CDC. The first patient lived with a large number of birds that became infected with H5N1, according to the World Health Organization.

I am sure that the transgender ministry of health Levine will tell you that if you change your sex you will not get bird flu.
I know nothing for sure obviously LOL, but I'm fact-checking any BS about another COVID scenario, just cause you never trust an incompetent organization again or atleast till it redeems itself
