A.2. Today's news from WSJ/DOE doesn't confirm group #1 (zoonotic) nor does it confirm group #2 (lab); rather, about the only thing it supports is that the overall Lancet Covid-19 Commission Report had it right by presenting in-line w/ group #3 - we still don't know.

[Florian Krammer @florian_krammer]

Yesterday, the Coronavirus Vaccines R&D Roadmap was released. Its an important document summarizing steps that need to be taken to have better coronavirus vaccines in the future. A great tool for policymakers to direct funding.

@thijskuiken There seems to be a translation error from Khmer to English. The report below (in khmer) states there are 12 contacts to the index case and 4 amongst those 12 report flu like symptoms. https://t.co/N1ItxLhaUK

If you're worrying about the report suggesting there have been 12 new confirmed cases of H5N1 in Cambodia, please see this.

[Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 @HelenBranswell]

#H5N1 #birdflu is garnering headlines galore. I'm not here to tell you H5 isn't a dangerous virus. But how likely it is to ever be able to spread easily among people isn't currently knowable.
Few people alive know more about H5 than @CDCgov's Tim Uyeki. https://t.co/LqZkvdsZhl

[Bara Vaida @barav]

A key quote in @HelenBranswell's story on understanding avian flu: “Trying to predict what H5N1 will do in the human population absolutely requires a great deal of scientific humility,” said CIDRAP’s Michael Osterholm. https://t.co/guwOLclpTj

Bummer that this Johns Hopkins' COVID tracker is shutting down in March. It was an invaluable resource during these past 3 years: https://t.co/0uryJGckFU
