California health officials on Tuesday reported a possible case of bird flu in a child with mild symptoms. A bird flu test on the child four days after the positive result came back negative. Bird flu has been spreading rampantly in poultry since 2022 in the worst such outbreak the U.S. has ever experienced. California represents the largest share of human bird flu cases in the U.S. so far, with 27 confirmed, not counting the child in Alameda County. In Canada, health officials reported the country's first human case of bird flu last week, in a teenager hospitalized and in critical condition.

Oregon changed its isolation policy in May when the Covid-19 public health emergency lifted, and California followed suit earlier this month. The recent order from the California health department notes that the potential infectious period spans from two days before through 10 days after symptoms or a positive test. Less restrictive isolation policies could allow people to feel more comfortable with testing, which could prompt them to get treatment or feel more comfortable taking other protective measures. Dr. Dean Sidelinger, Oregon’s state health officer, said that equity was a key factor considered in the decision to change isolation policy in the state. Public health policy decisions are rarely black-and-white, experts say, and weighing tradeoffs can be more of an art than a perfect science.

Zece californieni care se vaccinează înainte de această dată au ocazia să câştige premii în stil loterie în valoare de câte 1,5 milioane de dolari, în timp ce alte 30 de persoane vor câştiga fiecare 50.000 dolari. "Acest program este conceput pentru a-i încuraja pe cei care au nevoie de sprijin suplimentar pentru a se vaccina şi pentru a menţine California în siguranţă", a adăugat el. Stimulentele sunt oferite în timp ce Newsom luptă împotriva unei campanii de revocare care a devenit o cauză celebră printre republicani la nivel naţional. "Vaccinarea fiecărui californian eligibil este modul prin care putem face ca statul nostru să îşi revină după această pandemie", a precizat Newsom. Miercuri, Ohio a acordat 1 milion de dolari lui Abbigail Bugenske, o femeie din Silverton care a participat la tragerea "Vax-a-Million" organizată la nivelul acestui stat.
