Terrific write up of H5N1 today by @HelenBranswell (of course) However in it one of the CDC interviewees refers to wastewater samples that turn H5N1 positive due to birds as false positives. I disagree!!! If birds are infected around cows, those are highly relevant samples.…
Sequencing directly from rapid antigen test strips is something that Admiral Brett Giroir @DrGiroir (testing czar for US in 2020/21) was first pushing for in conversations w him. It’s great to see it now being proven out - as well as so many of the efforts that he initiated…

Sequencing directly from Rapid Antigen Test strips! A major concern of Rapid Antigen Tests has been the loss of public health data such as virus sequencing However, Rapid Tests do not have to imply a loss in Public Health Data - reporting and sequencing can still move…

The problem with infectious disease scares is a) they happen ALL the time and b) most of them flame out. But this (H5N1/ Bird Flu) is starting to feel a lot like 2020 again. And we seem to be making the same testing and communication mistakes. 🤦🏽♂️ amazon.com/Crisis-Chaos-L…
If COVID didn’t drive this point home for the CDC… the calculus is simple - prevent prevent prevent! Act early. Don’t wait to see ED visits nor relegate surveillance testing to symptomatic people 7/
I just want to point out that the missteps and potential mistakes being made by the CDC and Biden Admin at moment were, under Trump and for COVID, ridiculed as a failing of the Trump administration. So… let’s not repeat those identical mistakes for H5N1 in a different admin

@HelenBranswell @CDCgov The @CDCgov would likely miss many cases if they wait for farm workers who get ill to show up in ER? It would be sensible for them to activate their wastewater surveillance system in communities around dairy farms and where the farm labor force resides.
What does this mean?? From CDC H5N1 situation update: “Testing… is being done… using a CDC test, and CDC is conducting confirmatory testing…” This is the least descriptive wording I can imagine. “a CDC test” - is this a CDC Lab Developed test for H5N1? Is this a commercial…

@michaelmina_lab yes, let's not slow down h5n1 testing the way biden has killed covid testing
@HelenBranswell would be good to know how the milk is to e discarded. There has been a wastewater signal (not confirmed) in Amarillo that made me wonder if milk could be " flushed"
@michaelmina_lab Interesting. I wonder if a program could be set up whereby if you mail in your positive test, they send back an unused test as an incentive.
@michaelmina_lab It would seem integrating RATs into public health policy before all the cows have left the barn would be preferable to leaving it up to industry or individuals.
@umamaheshwarb @michaelmina_lab I'm not sure I understand your question? The easily available tests can say 'hi I see some flu A.' For most ppl at this point, that will be normally circulating Flu A. For someone who might have had contact with infected animals that can signal need for specifically H5N1 test.
@CNames405 @michaelmina_lab @RickABright Only had very mild case once but think I probably did have 8 shots. I just bought the test. Why? Because I’m not an asshole that wants to give people flu or Covid when I can take a cheap at home test.
Want to say this a little louder. I hope companies are making low cost, in-home, rapid tests for flu. Best would be multiplex for flu A/B, H5, C19, 3 columns or rapid home molecular tests (but very low cost). No panic, but it’s time to start development.
I hope companies are developing Low-cost, in-home, rapid tests for influenza. Some multiplex options already in Europe that detect flu A/B, RSV, & Covid. It would be a good plan to find a way to ensure they can detect H5N1 and bring them to the US. @FDADeviceInfo @US_FDA…
@michaelmina_lab Love this clarification thanks M
@michaelmina_lab Wait are you telling me that there's multitests finally available in the US without importing them from elsewhere and risking seizure?
@michaelmina_lab Thanks @michaelmina_lab. Do you know if they can distinguish between H5/H3/H1 only detect Flu A? I’ll check your link, curious if these are for home use (self test) and low cost. It will not be useful to send tests to a centralized lab in an urgent scenario.
@MichaelWorobey The primary challenge is not knowing when or where these samples were collected, or even if it’s the same cow with repeated samples.
I think it is important that we start testing asymptomatic cattle, both dairy and beef. Important to start genomic surveillance in Mexico and Canada, the two largest export markets for US cattle (in that order).
Update: Seems the @USDA @USDA_APHIS chose not to share sequence data with the global @GISAID system where a vast majority of all global scientists have shared their data on influenza viruses since 2008. In addition, they chose not to include critical metadata on timing and…
HEADS UP: @USDA #H5N1 sequences are now live on GISAID (239 all at once)! cc @RajlabN @PeacockFlu @LongDesertTrain @HelenBranswell @RickABright @firefoxx66 @LouiseHMoncla @trvrb @KrutikaKuppalli @michaelmina_lab @florian_krammer @jbloom_lab @cmyeaton @MarionKoopmans #HPAI 1/

Some thoughts on the ongoing bird flu outbreak in dairy herds (and many thanks to @michaelmina_lab @mtosterholm and others for making time to chat over the weekend): bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

God, journals just suck.
