Human case of bird flu in Houston?
Has anyone heard anything about this? Supposedly a traveler on a flight from Hong Kong to Houston (arrived Tuesday night) has been confirmed to be infected with avian flu. I just saw a TikTok video posted this afternoon by an ER doc about it who believed it is the H5N1 strain. The doc did not know if it was capable of spreading from person to person. I have not seen any news reports of this case so I am posting this here. A Reddit thread about this case was deleted due to a lack of proper sourcing which corresponds with my inability to find anything on it.
With several recent reports of avian flu jumping to mammals, this case is worth monitoring if it indeed is true.
I don't think any of us want to go through this again so hopefully this case is not transmitted from human to human.
