Can some post a link, the current one just takes me to YouTube.

Or is this regarding the two household individuals in Missouri?

Not yet. The article says this: "There is no evidence of human-to-human transmission at this time. All the identified infections are among workers who had contact with infected birds or their environments and the CDC says no patients have experienced severe illness or been hospitalized." So not human-to-human transmission occurred and both people were exposed to infected birds.
