According to the CDC, there have been just over 50 human infections of H5N1 in the US since the start of this year. All have recovered to this point. From my calculations, that's a CFR in the USA of 0%.

We have two issues, at least. Direct transmission from birds (probable situation in BC with very sick girl) and then transmission from cows to us and, unfortunately, many other mammals. ( Lots of opportunities for mutations.) But so far that one seems to produce mainly conjunctivitis in humans. All bear watching and need a very vigilant and healthy CDC.
