Wild birds are “intensely suffering,” experts say.
There have been no cases reported in humans, and the CDC states that the risk to most people is low . Still, it’s a good idea for everyone to avoid direct contact with live or dead wild birds, thesays, as well as domestic birds that appear ill or dead. If you become sick within 10 days of being exposed to an infected bird, isolate yourself at home until recovered and contact your doctor, as the CDC instructs.
While the trajectory of this outbreak is unclear, for now, individuals can do their part to help protect birds. “We have it in our power to take a short term action so we are not accidentally assisting in the virus’s spread,” as Dr. Hall wrote. “This outbreak won’t last forever and I, for one, am greatly looking forward to when I can safely hang my bird feeders back up!”
