It's spread poorly to humans and apparently by raw milk to cats and maybe humans. So far.

Typically flu spreads in droplets in the air much like COVID - so masks and air cleaning are important.
Also spreads by surfaces (fomites) probably more than COVID, so cleaning public use objects may be a good strategy.
(Ie back to cleaning "fomites&quot .
Many humans infected are infected in the eye and get a kind of conjunctivitis. I don't know whether that's aerosol or by hand transfer.
