“As bird flu cases inundate more poultry and dairy farms, state officials worry that the Trump administration’s firings of federal scientists and other actions will undermine efforts to track the virus and protect Americans.”

Airborne Transmission Of Highly Pathogenic Bird Flu
Airborne Transmission Of Highly Pathogenic Bird Flu

Not just airborne. H5N1 is windborne.

“Now, new research sheds light on an often-overlooked mechanism: windborne transmission. A recent study presents compelling genetic and meteorological evidence that H5N1 can travel significant distances via wind, challenging the conventional wisdom and highlighting the need to reconsider outbreak mitigation strategies.”

Worst avian flu crisis ever recorded spreads across Antarctica
Worst avian flu crisis ever recorded spreads across Antarctica
The highly pathogenic avian influenza virus, which has caused the death of hundreds of millions of birds in the last five years around the world, is spreading across Antarctica, a pristine paradise for wildlife. An expedition led by Spanish virologist Antonio Alcamí has confirmed the presence of the virus “in all animal species detected at each site” on six islands in the north of the Antarctic Peninsula

“There's been a sharp increase in unsubtyped influenza A detected in Canada and beyond over the last few weeks.

Compared to the previous two seasons, influenza only passed the epidemic threshold (5% test positivity) in January compared to a October/November start.”

“this CDC advisory ACCELERATED SUBTYPING ON INFLUENZA A was issued by CDC before the recent Trump WH takeover. ➡️But the NY state memo goes above and beyond the CDC by recommending even subtype testing of even unknown hospital cases with unknown subtype.”
