Here’s what Canada is doing (and not doing) to watch for #H5N1 amid an explosive outbreak among U.S. dairy cattle — and why Canadian scientists warn we’re already way behind this virus without active surveillance. New from me: cbc.ca/news/health/bi…
An-in depth look at what scientists know so far about how #H5N1 transmits between cows and why more human infections could already be happening, plus the many burning questions we don’t yet have answers to, from @statnews’ @HelenBranswell & @MeganMolteni: statnews.com/2024/04/30/h5n…
Early release of @CDCgov report on #H5N1 notes: ➡️Signs of systemic illness in dairy cattle, "abundant virus shedding in milk" ➡️High death rate (≈50%) of farm cats fed raw colostrum/milk ➡️Suggests cross-species, mammal-to-mammal transmission Source: wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30…
#Alberta is emerging from its deadliest flu season in 15 years, @JenLeeCBC reports. Provincial data shows 167 people died of influenza during the 2023-24 flu season, eclipsing all other seasons dating back to 2009: cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
Experts say the the danger associated with raw milk consumption may have gone to a whole new level as bird flu spreads among cows. trib.al/D9Glj8P
NEW: Changes could be coming to Ontario's MedsCheck program in the wake of a @CBCNews investigation into allegations that Shoppers Drug Mart put corporate pressure on pharmacists to hit billing targets. Reporting by @angelinaaking & @nicolebrockbank cbc.ca/news/canada/to…
AstraZeneca has admitted for the first time in court documents that its Covid vaccine can cause a rare side effect, in an apparent about-turn that could pave the way for a multi-million pound legal payout telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/04/2…
“A dangerous type of bird flu virus discovered in the lung of a U.S. dairy cow that didn't show symptoms. Viral particles identified in processed, pasteurized milk.” @LaurenPelley and Amina Zafar cbc.ca/news/health/h5…
Why is the cattle outbreak of #BirdFlu #H5N1 important and why we think the virus has been flying under the radar for quite some time. More importantly , why #genome sequences are key to outbreak investigation cbc.ca/news/health/h5…
The H5N1 strain of bird flu has been rapidly spreading throughout U.S. dairy cattle. Scientists say it has been transmitting for longer than official reports suggest and could pose a threat to human health. cbc.ca/news/health/h5….
Why dangerous bird flu is spreading faster and farther than first thought in U.S. cattle cbc.ca/news/health/h5… @LaurenPelley & Amina Zafar CanadaHealthwatch.ca — Canada's hub for health news 🍁
Why dangerous bird flu is spreading faster and farther than first thought in U.S. cattle. Infections could have been 'flying under our radar for months,' researcher says. cbc.ca/news/health/h5… via @CBCNews @LaurenPelley #H5N1 #AvianInfluenza
Canadian officials considering 'pre-pandemic' vaccines as bird flu spreads through U.S. livestock ottawacitizen.com/news/local-new…
#H5N1 found in a cow with no symptoms; viral fragments in processed milk; striking trends identified in genetic sequences. All in just a week. And these developments suggest avian flu may be very widespread among U.S. cattle. More from Amina Zafar and I: cbc.ca/news/health/h5…
NEW: @WHO report on #H5N1 notes spread to more species, including cattle in the U.S., has led to “increased opportunities for viral reassortment” as organization stresses the need for surveillance, reassessing risks “as the situation evolves.” Source: cdn.who.int/media/docs/def…

1/ There are still lots of unanswered questions re: H5N1 bird flu 🔹How quickly is the virus mutating and evolving? A PB2 E627K mutation was found in the human case in Texas, but not seen in birds or cows. astho.org/education/hpai… (1:04:50)
Any guesses why #H5N1 bird flu is so highly pathogenic & often fatal in cats, but cows seem to mostly have mild to moderate symptoms? Early reports suggested high fatality rate in humans, but recent US case only had mild conjunctivitis. wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/30…
🚨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…
Okay, this ranking is bunk. Third most over-rated destination is Tokyo, one of the four or five truly great cities of the world
The single biggest drawback is that so much Toronto tourism focuses on the antiseptic CN Tower/Harbour Castle axis, when the best stuff in the city (Kensington Market, Queen West, various beaches) is a ring or two outside of that
Inbox: Toronto ranks second most over-rated city in the world. Based on tourist reviews online, 16.8pc were disappointed. This puts the city closely behind Bangkok (18.4pc) -- which does make one question the methodology Most disappointing attraction in Toronto: the CN Tower
