The U.S. is facing a bird flu outbreak affecting dairy herds, with H5N1 spreading among cattle. Colorado and Iowa report multiple new infected herds, leading to concerns about transmission to humans. The USDA is updating its list of affected herds, with discrepancies noted in the counts.
Per the @USDA there have been 59 new cases of #H5N1 in cattle in the past 30 days (as of 06/21), more than a 100% increase in cases since the outbreak began (126 cases), it begs the question is this a result of increased testing, or worsening spread? Either way, interesting data…

.@USDA has fixed some missing data in its list of #H5N1 #birdflu affected dairy herds. Alpacas are back, as are some Texas herds that dropped off temporarily. 4 herds — 2 each from Colorado & Iowa — haven't yet made it to the USDA list. https://t.co/2BioBG0wUw https://t.co/d70kdKr0l7
Colorado is really climbing the #H5N1 #birdflu in cows chart fast! 2nd new herd today. Up to 20 now, maybe another pending. https://t.co/Ss75AZ2KS3 https://t.co/gVuc6RAiEa
Colorado reports another dairy herd with #H5N1 #birdflu, its 19th or maybe 20th. Number 017 is still missing from its list, but I suspect will be posted eventually. Am told @USDA is working on its new data collating system & tomorrow's post will include the 3 missing TX herds. https://t.co/4cIoRwQqxr

USDA finds unusual twist: Bird flu moved from dairy cows to poultry in Michigan https://t.co/ON6iE1aX92 via @toledonews
.@USDA updated its list of dairy herds with #H5N1 #birdflu infections; it's now much closer to the counts that have been released by states. Still missing the 2 latest from Iowa & no explanation yet why Texas' total went from 20 a week ago to 17. Still, progress.… https://t.co/R4a9iQfv0X

1. Some thoughts on #H5N1 #birdflu in cows. A 🧵 A bunch of new herds were announced by a couple of states today — Colorado and Iowa. The former reported +5 & looks like it may have another pending; It now has 18 in total, maybe 19. Iowa reported 2 more, taking it to 10. https://t.co/WQyx8XvKXI
BREAKING: H5N1 bird flu identified at six new dairy farms in Colorado
H5N1 bird flu found at 8 more dairy farms, including 6 in Colorado and 2 in Iowa https://t.co/qUp5zwm0Jd
Colorado has reported a big jump in the number of #H5N1 #birdflu infected dairy herds in the state. Was 12 this a.m., is now 18 or maybe 19. There is no 017 in this list, but earlier today there was was nothing between 013 & 019, & now there is. Will tweet more tonight. https://t.co/eHGb1k0zvO
Colorado Dept Of Agriculture updates its list of dairy cattle herds impacted by HPAI #H5N1. One new location added to the list, 2 more have cleared quarantine. Its unclear why the facility jumped from number Co012 to Co019. (Perhaps those b/n 12 & 19 are awaiting test results?) https://t.co/b1of3CBa9v
Looks like Colorado has found +1 #H5N1 #birdflu infected dairy herd. Puzzled by the numbering. Why did they skip from 012 to 019? That about the intervening numbers? 2 more herds have been released from quarantine, in both cases after just under 1 month. https://t.co/Ss75AZ2d2v https://t.co/5lLv5s15Ct

Three months into the U.S. bird flu outbreak, only about 45 people have been tested. With so few tests run, it’s difficult to know how many farmworkers have been infected, or how serious the disease is. @amymaxmen for KFF Health News & @CBSNews https://t.co/DisHElRT3a
