California - Avian flu in mammals and livestock 2024

[sharon sanders]

USDA listed 23 new cases today with a confirmed date of Nov. 6 ( 1 case is included in the 236 CA number above - 22 are totally new cases).

Yesterday they posted 2 cases with a confirmed date of Nov. 5 which both are included in the CA total number of 236 - see above post):







I believe this brings California's total to 258.
