Teachers, by their occupation, have no specific unusual risk factors for H5N1. If a number of teachers start contracting H5N1, that suggests something unusual is going on.

What teachers do have an unusual risk for is seasonal flu (or adenovirus or rhinovirus or...), as a result of contact with a large number of children.

I wonder if seasonal flu is being mistaken for H5N1 here.

Anything is possible but 1 teacher is a confirmed bird flu H5N1 death this week. Usually seasonal flu is mentioned in articles using such words as "pigs", "swine", "pigs bird flu", H1N1, etc.
