Influenza A(H5N1) shedding in air corresponds to transmissibility in mammals
New study in Nature says that the newer H5N1 bird flu variants are becoming more airborne than older bird flu variants.
“This is outrageous. First Avian flu case in Canada, the teen affected went to the ICU. But they aren't using airborne precautions. So this could spread to any number of health care workers on that unit, and further beyond. We have learned absolutely nothing.”
