And if because of that human-to-human transmission starts occurring, it'll very much be an issue for everyone else too unfortunately :/

On another side note: Raw milk is very much problematic, but there is some evidence to suggest that flash pasteurization may not be fully effective at neutralizing. We don't have enough evidence to fully say with 100% certaintaty that all pasteurization methods work. They might, but there some of them might not

It should be noted this article is from 3 weeks ago, and this whole thing started well before that, so we would probably have already been seeing infections in people for some time if current pasteurization techniques were not effective.
