Many U.S. health officials are concerned by 53 confirmed human cases of a Bird Flu variant across seven states this year.

There is a new potential case in a California child without known contact with an infected animal, and a Canadian teen is still fighting for their life, in critical condition at a British Columbia hospital, after contracting the Bird Flu.
