The Spin

Narrative A

H5N1 in the US is deeply concerning because its silent spread in cattle could lead to a mutation that presents a huge risk for humans. The presence of viral fragments in the milk supply and the infection of a dairy worker also highlight the need for extreme vigilance. There must be heightened caution and increased testing to prevent a pandemic.

Narrative B

There's no need to panic about the avian flu's spread in the US. The risk to the general population remains low, as the virus has yet to easily transmit from human to human. The US government is well-prepared, with antiviral treatments and vaccines already stockpiled. This situation is under control.
