The cattle movement restriction is likely too late to contain transmission. The main benefit is the additional data that will come out of mandatory testing. It's frustrating that testing data is not already available; I hope it's released in the days ahead.
This makes me feel uneasy
IMPORTANT NEWS: Bird flu virus fragments found in grocery milk, not necessarily a threat to human health, but suggests virus is more widespread in cows than previously thought. w @rachel_roubein @ddiamond. washingtonpost.com/health/2024/04…
"Today, APHIS made available 239 genetic sequences from the U.S. H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b influenza virus..." aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poul…
3 more dairy herds have been confirmed to have cows infected with #H5N1 #birdflu. Texas, Kansas & Michigan each notched up one more infected herd. National total is now 32. Seems to be a 2-3 day lag between lab confirmation & posting by @USDA. aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poul…
Now from @CDCgov forecasters, on risk assessment of clade I mpox in DRC to U.S. "very low" to public, "low to moderate" for MSM "no evidence" of wide community transmission in DRC genomics suggest "multiple zoonotic introductions" cdc.gov/forecast-outbr…
We would really benefit from info on epi links between these herds and details on testing.

Sustained Human Outbreak of a New MPXV Clade I Lineage in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo medrxiv.org/content/10.110… A worrying outbreak in Eastern DRC of sexually transmitted clade I MPXV. If not tackled quickly, this might lead to a new multicountry mpox outbreak!
Can't help but recall the testing criteria in the earliest days of covid, when you had to be hospitalized + have an epi link to China in order to be tested.

Wish we had more information on: - number and distribution of H5N1 test results, incl negative -epi links (if any) between affected herds -outcomes in infected animals -active surveillance in humans, swine -more genomic data -whether stockpiled vaccine matches vs CVV ...

What do we know and don't we know about this avian flu outbreak? Concise, clear, and educational summary from @cmyeaton and @dr_kkjetelina. yourlocalepidemiologist.substack.com/p/avian-flu-bi…
I wrote this over a year ago. Still relevant. How to Handle the Bird Flu: America Must Prepare for the Next Possible Pandemic. (No paywall, but you do have to input an email) foreignaffairs.com/united-states/…
In response to the H5N1 infections in cows and now a human in Texas, we've just updated our North America specific H5Nx Nextstrain build with the cow and goat sequences, which are viewable under "Species-grouped: Ruminant": nextstrain.org/groups/moncla-…. A few notes.
I understand that initial testing does not show significant mutations but...something has clearly changed. Host, agent, environment.

Mirador, Metsera, Seaport, Xaira. Busy last month for ARCH. :)
HPIA is expanding rapidly but the epi investigation and answers to critical questions is stuck are low gear. Why?
H5N1 bird flu found at 3 more dairy farms in the U.S., one each in Texas, Kansas and Michigan, raising the total to 32
declining trust in health institutions... expect that primary care providers -already most trusted- GAINED since last year
We seem to lack a sense of urgency to learn as much as possible as fast as possible to understand transmission dynamics and implement active surveillance
“In the face of uncertainty, complacency is not an option.... The stakes are too high to repeat past mistakes.” @llborio and @DrPhilKrause call for the US to take the threat of an H5N1 outbreak seriously and to take steps to prepare. buff.ly/3xz1TgK
USDA: NO risk from H5N1 —we can all go home now! Whew! Because we all know cattle ranchers voluntarily report and test (no kits, no incentive). (I own a cattle ranch, am a slight bit skeptical). And there are no cattle ranches in all of USA that have hogs (hmmmm). All is fine.
We need much more data on active surveillance in dairy cattle and beef cattle. There are no reports from beef cattle but that may be because there is testing. The situation is evolving rapidly
Wish we had more information on: - number and distribution of H5N1 test results, incl negative -epi links (if any) between affected herds -outcomes in infected animals -active surveillance in humans, swine -more genomic data -whether stockpiled vaccine matches vs CVV ...

The golden rule of academic etiquette: If the public speaker makes direct eye contact with you, you respond with an enthusiastic nod of encouragement.
Very happy to see this in the @nytimesbooks today!
Am always amazed how when you point out risks to people and the fact that we have our head up our collective asses on preparedness when it comes to learning any lessons at all from the small COVID pandemic, how people immediately go into to the “it will all be fine” mode.
Amazing work Caitlin!
