FAMILIES ARE RESPECTED THROUGHOUT THE PROCESS. CHRISTINE. YEAH, FASCINATING. >> FASCINATING. LOOK THERE, DOCTOR, WE'VE JUST GOT SOME BREAKING NEWS. JUST INTO US. I WANTED TO RUN BY YOU, THE CDC, CONFIRMING THE FIRST HUMAN CASE OF BIRD FLU IN MISSOURI TODAY. AND THE STATE'S HEALTH DEPARTMENT SAYS THIS PATIENT HAD NO EXPOSURE TO ANIMALS AND WAS NOT A POULTRY WORKER. DOES THAT RAISE ANY SORT OF RED FLAGS? >> IT DOES. CHRISTINE. AND JUST TO BE CLEAR HERE, WHAT WE'RE SEEING THAT'S NEW HERE IS THAT, YOU KNOW, IN PREVIOUS CASES OF BIRD FLU IN HUMANS THAT WE'VE SEEN, YOU KNOW, A HANDFUL HAVE POPPED UP IN THE US OVER THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS. WE'VE SEEN THAT THERE HAS BEEN AN EXPOSURE TO, TO ANIMAL TO, TO CATTLE OR TO OTHER ANIMALS. I MEAN, THIS ONE, THERE'S NO KNOWN EXPOSURE YET. SO I THINK WE'RE STILL WAITING TO LEARN MORE. WE DON'T KNOW IF THIS PATIENT WAS A MAN OR WOMAN OR AGE, BUT WHAT WE DO KNOW IS THAT THEY DID TEST POSITIVE, THEY ARE RECOVERING, THEY ARE DOING WELL. BUT CHRISTINE, REALLY THE BIG TAKE HOME POINT IS WE DON'T HAVE THE TESTING HERE. WE'RE MAKING A LOT OF THE SAME MISTAKES WE SAW IN THE COVID PANDEMIC, WHERE WE'RE SORT OF FLYING BLIND HERE, YOU KNOW, LEAVING LEAVING THESE CASES TO POP UP AND US SORT OF TRYING TO FIGURE OUT AFTER THE FACT WHERE THEY COME FROM. SO I THINK A LOT OF ATTE
