A week after getting transported to a hospital in Mexico City, the guy passed away on the same day.

There were 12 interactions in the weeks earlier at the man’s apartment. They all also tested negative. According to the World Health Organization, another case girl who was (2.5-years-old) when she returned from India required hospital intensive care therapy after testing positive for the (H5N1) type of bird flu.

“This is the 1st case of bird influenza A(H5N1) virus-related human illness that has been confirmed by Australia,” officials expressed. In this case, the girl had been to India, where the World Health Organization noted that “the infection certainly happened and that these particular viruses had been discovered in birds in the past.”In the words of Markus Lipp, top food safety official at the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, eating poultry has a “very low” chance of catching bird flu. As far as we know, humans have no bird influenza receptors located in their digestive tract, as compared to several animal species.
