TL;DR: don't drink raw milk. Get an ordinary flu shot if you haven't already.

Who told you that nobody in California is sick?

The article specifically said that?

No it didn't

Maybe I misunderstood - hence why I asked - but passages such as these led me to question what then it was trying to say:

“If you’re not working directly with animals right now, it would not be the top thing that I’d be worried about... It’s unlikely right now that’s going to be a problem for most people.”

"... right now, there’s no reason to panic or really do anything beyond avoid raw milk products.”

In other words, it’s not time to rush the stores and buy out the toilet paper just yet.
