California reported its 15th infection in dairy workers and Washington state reported seven probable cases in poultry workers.
Researchers can’t determine why the spike is happening because surveillance for human infections has been patchy for seven months .
Emails from state and local health departments reveal why.
Many farmers cooperated with health officials.
Some of the fiercest resistance against covid-19 measures, such as masking and vaccines, were in rural areas.
Health officials say they’re aware of the problem but that it’s not due only to farm owners’ objections.
By missing cases, the public health system may be slow to notice if the virus becomes more contagious.
As of Oct. 24 , the CDC ’s dashboard states that more than 5,100 people have been monitored nationally after exposure to sick animals; more than 260 tested; and 30 bird flu cases detected.
The dashboard doesn’t separate numbers by state, or break down how many people were monitored through visits with health officials, daily updates via text or from a single call with a busy farm owner.
