As usual, the very young, and the very old are most at risk, together with the immunocompromised. Also as usual, kids not washing their hands well then sticking them in their mouth are of particular concern. Hygiene, generally, is the watchword - as always.
Media is reporting this is one of the worst outbreaks ever - likely related to the sudden interest in backyard poultry ownership last year, and the number of people not aware of the resources, experience, and information available thru places like BYC - I'm certain some of those sickened never gave any thought to the possibility Ms. Clucker the family pet might be a disease vector for their small child.
