Authorities have confirmed the first human death in the United States caused by highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), or H5N1.
The announcement was made by the Louisiana Department of Health on Monday, Jan. 6.
The patient, a man over 65 with underlying health conditions, was hospitalized before succumbing to the illness after exposure to a non-commercial backyard flock and wild birds.
The Louisiana Department of Health said it has conducted a public health investigation and found no additional cases or evidence of person-to-person transmission.
The department extended condolences to the patient’s family and stated this will be the final update regarding the patient to respect the person's privacy.
Public Health Risk Remains Low Health officials assure the public that the risk of H5N1 infection remains low.
However, individuals who work closely with birds or have recreational exposure are at higher risk. LDH recommends the following protective measures:
* Avoid Direct Contact: Do not handle sick or dead birds or their droppings, and avoid bringing sick wild animals into your home.
* Protect Pets: Keep pets away from sick or dead animals and their feces.
* Cook Food Thoroughly: Ensure poultry, eggs, and animal products are fully cooked to eliminate pathogens.
* Avoid Unpasteurized Products: Do not consume raw milk or cheeses from animals suspected of carrying bird flu.
Those exposed to sick or dead birds should monitor for symptoms such as respiratory issues or conjunctivitis for 10 days following exposure. If symptoms develop, inform healthcare providers about the exposure for appropriate testing and treatment.
This continues to be a developing story. Check back to Daily Voice for updates.

“avoid bringing sick wild animals into your home.”
Check.
But we have a real crazy animal lover behind us who would do just that.

Which Lab created this latest monster virus? As a nation we need to find out and jail the creators as a message to the Fauci’s of the world.

I don’t think this is a real pandemic. I think it is orchestrated to lock down, and destroy the second Trump presidency. You can see the narrative has grown over the last four months. Especially in California.

Sounds like a “died with” rather than a “died of”.

Normal flu deaths per year are higher than most people realize. This has always been the case.
Maybe bird flu is less deadly than normal flu.

Latest “Bird Flu” Psyop - Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

Key line: “What is happening now with “bird flu” is another psyops campaign being conducted by the administrative/deep state, apparently in partnership with Pharma, against the American people.”

Thousands of people die from the common flu every year, now that they aren’t pretending all flu cases are COVID-1984.
