Twitter, I have a favor to ask. One of the techs at Hot Vet's office has been diagnosed with ovarian cancer and it must be urgently removed. The problem is that she's 20, she has no family to help her, she's had no time to save for this, and her disability insurance refuses to…
So, *preliminary* molecular clock analyses indicate that the time of the most recent common ancestor (TMRCA) of the US cattle flu clade was late December. TMRCA of that clade and the closest relatives in birds, mid-December. If single intro, likely between those rough dates.
The hopium is real … “with increased safety precautions at farms, including more rigorous cleaning of milking equipment, and the end to the seasonal movement of cattle, this outbreak likely will die out” science.org/content/articl…
The fact that people are more willing to wear a mask in zoos to protect animals, but not in hospitals to protect patients shows how badly governments and public health departments are failing.

Here's a visual of the US H5N1 "Cattle clade", HA plus two internal genes. Strongly suggests to me there was single origin, at least for these sequences. Possibly in late 2023/early 2024.

North Carolina reports its 1st outbreak of H5N1 bird flu in dairy cows. Movement of cattle from affected herds in 6 other states has been suspended.

As a virologist, getting twitchy again reading about ⬆️ observations of H5N1 in cattle. Reminder: about 60% of people who have been infected from this virus have died from it. "..world is teetering on the edge of a pandemic that could kill a large fraction of human[s]..."
I am going to try to write a weekly summary of tweets as well as my thoughts on news stories. I'm leaving the comment area open for discussion. Part of the goal is to make it easier to share on other social media platforms. Here's the first. icemsg.org/2024/03/31/202…

@InspiredAquaCA We have not detected HPAI in cattle in Canada at this time so we are not currently testing raw or pasteurized milk. Testing is being recommended based on suspicion of the disease. HPAI is not a food safety concern as pasteurization kills harmful bacteria and viruses.
One of the biggest epidemiological threats confronting around half the worlds population. This will make many regions uninhabitable as vector borne viruses ravage local populations. A humanitarian disaster that is basically unavoidable at this point.
Climate change will place millions more at risk of mosquito-borne diseases like dengue as cases spread to unaffected parts of the world and outbreaks become increasingly difficult to deal with, warn experts thenationalnews.com/health/2024/04…
Sam, how would you treat a 20 week fetus when the pregnant person carrying it has chorioamnionitis from premature rupture and worsening sepsis?

@Nova_Thistle @antiviral_mktng Wait...this implies that there are 7 of these plates out there already 💀
@Magnolia_613 It depends how H5N1 evolves. We should probably stop using raw manure to fertilize fruit & veg. And figure out how to replace some foods for others. If it evolves to H-2-H transmission, food shortages won’t be our biggest problem. At least not for long.
Now I am become “false profit of doom”—destroyer of worlds.
@RadCentrism Listen scum bag. You’re the garbage of humanity and a Covid false profit of doom. Everything you say is complete bull shit. Go suck your thumb dude.
COVID isn’t mild. The COVID pandemic isn’t over. COVID isn’t just spread by people coughing and sneezing. You can catch COVID in an empty room where someone infected (and totally asymptomatic) had been breathing many hours earlier. #UncomfortableFACTS
Uh oh. The usual minimizers are out to downplay persistent COVID infections, long COVID, and H5N1. Buckle up.

@HughThunkIt Excellent thread. While liberals worry about "Trump bringing fascism to America," Biden has already done it.
Sifting through some of the recent H5N1 samples uploaded. Immediately mutes like N110S in the HA protein stand out, impacting binding with sialic acids of cell-surface glycan receptors found in humans. Just one of many fitness advantages that will help it to infect human hosts.
To everyone in public health: stop focusing on preventing "panic" and start doing your job to prevent disease.
this here is crock: "it would be problematic to use ‘airborne’ for all pathogens that spread through the air. “They think it’s too scary, too frightening, has too many connotations and it will cause panic, so they chose ‘through the air’,”" nature.com/articles/d4158…
Ok what the fuck?? I haven’t seen confirmation that milk is safe to drink… only *likely* safe to drink. Anyone else? And H5N1 isn’t similar to Influenza A, it IS a strain of Influenza A, & stormwater should not be showing up in wastewater data. But keep harping on trust, yeah?
Under Joe Biden, we have seen: Covid-19 spreading without any control. Masks and other safety measures removed from medical settings. Huge amounts of mass illness and excess mortality. Billions of dollars spent on Israel's genocide in Gaza. That's our president.
Under Joe Biden, we have seen: More than 15 million new jobs. 800,000 manufacturing jobs added. Unemployment below 4% for the longest stretch in over 50 years. Student debt relief for more than 4.3 million borrowers. That’s our president.
Gov, please get your s..t together about H5N1. No party will ever recover politically if the pop is forced on almond milk & tofuturkeys later in the year, because you chose to act in very nontransparent, manner now. The #ZeroKale #ZeroAlmondMilk #ZeroTofu mov will not forget
