Iowa governor declares disaster over bird flu in chickens; geese dying in Kansas, virus spreading.

Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds declared a disaster in Sioux County due to a bird flu outbreak in commercial chickens, allowing state aid for containment. In Kansas City, geese are falling dead from the sky, likely due to the same virus, which is spreading across multiple states but does not pose a human health risk. The CDC confirms the flu is highly contagious among birds but not transmissible to humans.
