H5N1 flu research
Suspected H5N1 human-to-human transmission already reported in 2005 - an 11-year-old thought to have infected her mother & aunt.
"... the mother lived in a distant city, where she had no exposure to poultry, and traveled to the affected province only to care for her daughter [in hospital]. She had prolonged, direct, unprotected exposure to her critically ill daughter and had not had known exposure to poultry or poultry products."

I don’t mean to minimize the potential risk of #H5N1, and I hope it doesn’t become a serious problem. But it bugs me that some of the same people who spent the last 4 years saying #COVID (which has killed millions with no end in sight) is “just a flu” now see H5N1 (which infected one person) and are all …

Bird flu outbreak in cows is latest avian flu curveball - STAT #h5n1

Bird flu keeps rewriting the textbooks. It’s why scientists are unsettled by the U.S. dairy cattle outbreak
The spread of bird flu in mammals with which humans have close contact has unsettled many scientists. “That’s a different ball game altogether,” one said.

H5N1 update: We have to do better, faster
H5N1—also known as bird flu—continues to spread among animals and, for the first time, is spreading among cows. Thankfully, the risk to the public is low, but the more the virus spreads, the more chances it has to mutate and jump species to spread among humans. Given H5N1’s high mortality rate, we don’t want this to happen.

#H5N1
The Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use of the European Medicines Agency has recommended the approval of two vaccines for active immunization against the H5N1 subtype of the influenza A virus.

The vaccines, Celldemic and Incellipan, protect against the H5N1 subtype of the influenza A virus.

U.S Needs To Better Track Bird Flu Spread in Farm Animals, Farm Workers, Epidemiologist Says
Four years after a mysterious respiratory virus jumped from animals into humans and launched the COVID pandemic, wary epidemiologists are keeping a close eye on a strain of avian influenza that is spreading among U.S. dairy cows

informative article about H5N1 at US dairy farms
From people in the middle of it:
"We have a very clear picture that it's in the udder & is being shed in milk. But where else do we need to be concerned?"
“I spent one weekend picking up dead birds & the next weekend picking up dead cats."
"The dairy industry needs to be more proactive for the sake of the poultry industry ... a dime-sized piece of manure with H5N1 can infect up to 1 million chickens or turkeys."

I am not going deep into the conversation on #H5N1 because my educationa/lprofessional background gives me enough knowledge in the field that I can only offer uncertain optimism, while the people most freaked out by this HAVE EVERY RIGHT to their concern because “knowledgeable experts” so badly handled #Covid wi…

Dieser Artikel teilt meine Prognose, dass in den Medien und Gesellschaft die seit kurzem sich rapide beschleunigende #H5N1 Epidemie mit allgemeinen Beschwichtigungen ("pasteurisierte Milchprodukte sind sicher !1") und falscher Abgeklärtheit ("die COVID Maßnahmen waren völlig überzogen !1") quittiert wird.

Worried About Bird Flu? Welcome to The Party, Pal. You're Late.
Everyone's talking about bird flu now. It's an evolving situation. Right now, the mainstream news media is desperately trying to catch up on a story that's been happening for two years now. It would be funny if so many lives weren't at stake. The public reaction? Look at the discourse:

H5N1 in the US
"Andrew Bowman, a veterinary epidemiologist at Ohio State University, had a hunch.
"... he and a graduate student went on a road trip: They collected 150 commercial milk products from around the Midwest, representing dairy processing plants in 10 different states, including some where herds have tested positive for H5N1. Genetic testing found viral RNA in 58 samples"
I like how they didn't just wait for official news :-) Go scientists!

Suddenly, I'm becoming very relieved that we don't keep red meat or milk in the house (not due to any diet with a cute name; it's just our own habits.)

USDA testing beef for H5N1 amid current outbreak in dairy cows
On April 29, the U.S. Department of Agriculture announced that it is now testing ground beef for any presence of the H5N1 virus that continues to spread among dairy cows.

Suddenly, I'm becoming very relieved that we don't keep red meat or milk in the house (not due to any diet with a cute name; it's just our own habits.)

Another classic...
"Why Now Is The Right Time To Pretend That Bird Flu Won't Be A Problem If It's The Next Pandemic"
I've been reading some stuff about the cows in the States with H5N1, and I don't like the sound of it. Officially they now think it's going cow to cow, not just bird to individual cow. And officially it isn't airborne, but I'm not going to count on that for sure just yet. Plus some vibes of "we must protect the dairy industry".
#H5N1 #snark

🦠 Die Vogelgrippe-Fälle bei Rindern in #Texas machen deutlich, welche Gefahren von der #Massentierhaltung ausgehen. Enge Lebensbedingungen können die Übertragung von Krankheiten wie #H5N1 begünstigen und zu schnelleren Ausbreitungen führen.
Die aktuelle #Vogelgrippe-Situation zeigt: Krankheiten kennen keine Grenzen zwischen Wild- und Nutztieren. #Massentierhaltung kann ein Katalysator für die Ausbreitung sein und betont die Notwendigkeit einer 🌱 pflanzenbasierten Ernährung für eine gesündere Zukunft.
