Farm Workers Sound Alarm on Underreported Bird Flu Numbers​

Excerpt:

“We have now connected with a number of workers and have confirmed that more workers are sick with avian flu symptoms who have not been tested,” the UFW said in a statement on X. “Their symptoms range from very mild to very severe.

“The workers report symptoms that range from mild upper respiratory infection with pinkeye to severe flu symptoms with bone pain, severe cough and high fever.

Newsweek has contacted the UFW and county health officials for additional comment.

The UFW cites an ongoing ICE surge in Yakima Valley as part of the reason for the depressed figures, claiming their presence has made many workers reluctant to engage with public agencies and fearful of disobeying their employers. The lack of proper sick pay and PPE training has also helped spread the virus and encouraged workers with milder symptoms not to report the infection.
