Type A H5N1 influenza has been spreading through animals and some people in the United States. There have been 70 cases in that country since during the past year, according to the World Health Organization, though researchers and studies suggest that’s likely an undercount.
In Mexico, the girl was in serious condition in a hospital in Torreon in the neighboring state of Coahuila, the health ministry said in a statement Friday. It said she had initially been treated with an anti-flu medication.
It was not known how the girl contracted the virus. Investigators were testing wild birds in the vicinity of the girl’s home, the statement said.
Carnists really believe that they can build endless torture/murder factories pouring out oceans of blood, shit, and disease without any consequences.
close US border please.
I wonder if someone with gif skills can make one of the final scene in that movie where Bond is standing there waiting for the missiles to hit and one missile is tariffs , another is the next pandemic, and another is a breakdown of the geopolitical world order.
I wish I had the skill but I don’t.
On the bright side the MAGA people won’t take the vaccine once it’s created
It’s too dangerous. The world has to take this seriously.
Thank you for giving me hope for the future.
What are the odds a non us country invents it this time and our government makes it illegal to import into the US. Or even if it is invented here, RFK will make sure nobody can get it
It wasn’t the US last time but ok. Neither of the two big MRNA vaccine producers were US.
Tell me you’re USanian without telling me.
Ah, I can see how my wording makes it sound like I was implying that. I actually work in healthcare and am acutely aware of the decline in the US pharmaceutical industries ability to innovate relative to other countries
No one will get it for free* more likely than not at all
What could possibly go wrong(er than with covid) with the host country slashing science and health organisations while their chief health moron suggests to just drink milk?..
The health ministry said the risk to the general population from the virus was considered low.
They’ll say that until a long time after the risk is no longer low.
Okay we had flu from bats, now we have flu from birds. Which othet animals fly? Could be important to predict the next flu.
Swine flu
I’ll believe it when pigs fly
“Should I, ahh, write the check, sir?”
“No.”
That’s a symptom? Crazy
There’s no particular reason to believe this was spread human-human.
No, but it’s undoubtedly coming.
“Young child in Mexico has novel influenza” was Swine Flu’s start. So I always get a little nervous reading about it.
The slightly better news is that compared to COVID, influenza sucks at spreading, so our non-pharmaceutical interventions are liable to stall it out pretty well.
Rest in peace.
