This isn't good, folks. I'm not worried about H5N1 transmission to humans (yet) but the @USDA pathetic lack of transparency, how long it took for the genomes to be released, lack of testing asymptomatic cattle...... All detracts from "confidence"
Notes from @USDA + @CDCgov briefing this morning: —Transmission cattle-> cattle; cattle-> poultry, asymptomatic cattle positivity all confirmed —H5N1+ in >30 dairy cattle herds in 8 states confirmed, but commercial milk +PCR testing indicates it's well beyond that —If it does…
Idaho, which previously halted movement of cattle or bison into the state to try to stop spread of #H5N1 #birdflu in dairy cows, reports another outbreak, it's second. National total of confirmed outbreaks now at 33. (Data USDA's, graph mine) agri.idaho.gov/main/animals/c…
2/ We already had strong evidence that cow-to-cow transmission was happening. This means we need much wider testing of dairy and beef cattle (including testing of asymptomatic cows) to determine how widespread the infections are. x.com/HelenBranswell…

This #WorldImmunizationWeek we're celebrating a remarkable milestone. New data from @WHO & @TheLancet shows that vaccines have saved 154M lives over the last 50 years thanks to the efforts of countries, partners, and health workers to deliver them worldwide.
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.
Death by overconsumption.
Here we go again with this asinine cautious approach to testing for H5N1 CDC is NOT recommending that people with no symptoms - but who have had contact w infected animals - be tested at all… and certainly are not recommending a swab w any frequency. Though we should have…
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

To conclude - I think there is some evidence there are at least four mammalian transmission clusters of H5N1, 3 being limited mink farm outbreaks, 1 being a sustained sealion outbreak (with mixed avian-mammalian ecology)...
Friggin' mink farms. Why do we allow them?? Nobody needs to wear mink!!!

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

The number of dairy cow herds where #H5N1 #birdflu infection has been detected has increased to 20, in 6 states. It was 17 yesterday. Breakdown is: Texas, 9; NM, 4; Kansas, 3; Mich, 2; Idaho & Ohio, 1 each. aphis.usda.gov/livestock-poul…
