Two more people get bird flu


 

Two more people have been infected by highly-pathogenic avian influenza, one a poultry farm worker in Ohio, the other a woman in Wyoming who kept a backyard flock. She has other medical challenges and is in hospital.


The poultry worker in Ohio is employed by a Mercer County farm that has lost more than five million birds to avian flu.
