Is it communicable to other humans?
Human to human transfer has been observed
Human to human transfer has been observed
This is directly contradictory to the current CDC statements on the matter, updated today December 18:
"No person-to-person spread of H5 bird flu has been detected."
That isn't observed human to human transmission. That's a "mutation favorable for human transmission" observed in a case without a clear animal source. Those are two very different things. Good lord, scared me for no reason.
