low pathogenic bird flu in North American swans

For any of you still worried . . . the variety of H5N1 found in those mute swans in Michigan not long ago is NOT the high pathogenic avian influenza HPAI we call bird flu. It's low pathogenic avian influenza, which means it's the North American strain of H5N1.

It's not new, and it's not dangerous. Not to the swans and not to us. It's been found in this hemisphere before.
