CDC confirms 1st human case of bird flu in Wisconsin. The young female farmworker had mild symptoms & appears to be recovering fine. Meanwhile, 19 people on the commercial poultry farm may have been exposed and are being monitored for symptoms.

Wouldn’t it be great if @DHSWI & @CDCgov tested them all in case of subclinical illness??

@cbarbermd oh, it would be an epidemiologist's dream. Would help with better determination of "r" and spread via unknowns (they would turn into knowns). Unfortunately, even in good times CDC and HS, are somewhat lumbering giants that take some time to get going. Add that to the current (and possible future) and that is a no go.
