TL;DR: don't drink raw milk. Get an ordinary flu shot if you haven't already.

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.
