Have Canada geese become a public health issue anywhere in the USA?

I'm on the East Coast near Philadelphia and these things have more-or-less moved
into the various corporate campuses where I work.   Goose poop *everywhere*...
and lots of it.

On one hand, waterfowl appear tb a major vector of H5N1.   On the other hand,
the geese I see do not appear to migrate anymore.

But still, all that fresh, wet fecal material underfoot for so many people can't
be a good thing public-health-wise - and if/when bird-to-bird H5N1 spreads
within the continent I'd think these birds would definitely become a liability.

Anybody seen anything in their local media?
