1 human died— Just south of US, in Mexico, and h5n2 (strain in poultry) instead of h5n1 ( strain circulating in dairy cows in US). No known exposure, but underlying medical issues.

@SusanneinFrance But that is a different disease, and this market specifically mentions H5N1 flu. Given that the close contacts had respiratory diseases, and COVID-19 tests were negative, when the antibody tests come back I would wager that some of them had mild H5N2, and that H5N2 is contagious but not severe.
But this market isn't about that.
