It's all a matter semantics. Do they have H5N1 in North
America, yes. They call it a low risk "LPAI" (low-pathogen), as does much of
the world. The Canadian government found this in birds located in southern
Canada last fall.

The Spring migration will bring fresh H5N1 geneticswhich is likely to spark
more outbreaks. In the horticultural sciences it's called "Hybrid Vigor".

It's the same reason you don't want to marry a close cousins or relatives, a
lack of fresh genetics.
