A person in Yakima County has died from complications of bird flu following exposure to infected dairy cattle and a 3rd case has been identified.
We have too often treated bird flu as a threat we can dismiss. Yet it persists. The reported risk to the general public remains low, but that cannot become an excuse for complacency or for overlooking those whose work places them at greater risk.
We need sustained surveillance, transparency, and protection for exposed workers.
People need our attention to be protected. The measure of preparedness is whether we act before someone else’s loss becomes the reason we finally care.
