    I wonder why an “emergency”? The person who got sick was in Louisiana, and pasteurized milk, unlike raw, is entirely safe to drink. So if nobody in CA is sick, then…? The article did not seem to answer why.

      Sale of raw milk is legal in California, and the cows are widely infected. Bird flu is showing up in sewage in most of the state, which suggests that there are likely to be a whole bunch more infected people who don’t realize what they have.

        Thank you for answering. My comment probably sounded like conspiratorial nonsense, but you answered as if it were - and it was - authentic, so thanks.

      Who told you that nobody in California is sick?

            Maybe I misunderstood - hence why I asked - but passages such as these led me to question what then it was trying to say:

            “If you’re not working directly with animals right now, it would not be the top thing that I’d be worried about… It’s unlikely right now that’s going to be a problem for most people.”

            "… right now, there’s no reason to panic or really do anything beyond avoid raw milk products.”
