Best Covid news I've seen in a while: US covid Hospital admissions are lower than they've been this *entire* pandemic! Week ending 4/20/24 is the 1st week we've had under 6000 new covid hospitalizations. Still a lot, and no this metric isn't perfect, but this is good news. 1/3

My heart breaks for worried cat owners, because most people are COMPLETELY unaware H5N1 has been circulating in US cats for over a full year now. The government could have warned us & began preparing a year ago, but instead we were forced to play Pretend Normal. Let the rage wash…

Amazing how many people were willing to talk about wet markets in Wuhan, but not wet farms in Texas.

Today is the last day U.S. hospitals will be required to report COVID admissions, capacity, or occupancy data to the federal government. This will make it even more difficult to track the state of the ongoing COVID pandemic, as well as monitor potential pandemics like bird flu.

It’s great that they’re putting pressure on 3M and Drager to someday make a cutting edge black mask. I’m still not sure if the new Vitacore9500 updated to a heavier nosewire(like Aura’s doing) or added foam on the new black one. We’ll find out soon.

A user just sent me the data of testing ZIMI 9541 mask with TSI 8020. The FIT score changes after wearing for 3 days and 6 days. The mask was worn for 10 hours a day, and the mask was taken off and put on about 6-7 times a day. The average AQI of the air environment was 71, and…

SARS2 RNA turn PBMCs into traveling reservoirs that take residence in organ tissue as macrophages for weeks/months where they can become antigenic again. This can be seen in other persistent chronic infections. Long Ebola RNA reservoirs, for instance, could explain Long Covid.

3. Still unanswered questions? A ton. Animal vs. human? How do we differentiate quickly? This study is watersheds, what about lower-resolution sampling (sewer) to understand spread? What about reporting requirements for select agents (like H5)? What are the genomic sequences?

2. Have these assays detected increases this Spring? Yes. @WastewaterSCAN looked at 54 wastewater plants. Data, for example, Dallas is below. H5 started spiking in mid-April.

Interesting #H5N1 preprint on wastewater just dropped. medrxiv.org/content/10.110… Three take-homes: 1. Can H5 be detected in wastewater? Yes, one company (@Verily) now has an assay. It's 100% specific. Huge first step.

🚨Hot off the Press. As suspected more than a month ago: H5 was detected at three [wastewater] plants located in a state with confirmed outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza, H5N1 clade 2.3.4.4b, in dairy cattle, suggesting a large fraction of Influenza A virus inputs…

Qualitatively, the over-reporting in real-time data lead me to believe there's a 50-50 chance we see a May "wavelet" versus continued decline for a couple months. Some of the county-level Biobot data seem implausible (e.g., levels of "3" in Mason County, WA, but others too). 3/4

I have some concerns about Biobot's real-time data quality at the moment. Their real-time data have over-reported levels the past 8 weeks (11% last week, previously 6%, 10%, 7%, 5%, 9%, 4%, 5%) relative to later corrections. Huge bias! 2/4
