There are two separate avian flus circulating in North America right now. The US has an unknown number of H5N1 infections, but no confirmed deaths. Mexico has one confirmed death due to H5N2, but all contacts tested negative. Of course, with how viruses work, the actual prevalence is likely 10x the official number.
