Getting closer to 1918, folks.

Scientists isolated #H5N1 from the eyes of a dairy worker, and it efficiently infected alveolar epithelial cells.

Those alveoli cells are deep in your lungs, and are the primary

#H5N1 Emails Reveal How Health Departments Struggle To Track Human Cases of Bird Flu: some farm owners resisting monitoring of employees for signs of bird flu, making it challenging to track case numbers, severity, changes in symptoms or infectivity.

The top 1% have never had it so good.

They are making money hand over fist.

At the same time, weekly wages for the average worker are nearly $50 less than they were 50 years ago.

What does that say about American economic policy?

According to the WHO clade 1 Mpox is now a GLOBAL health emergency, and the incubation period can be up to 21 days

According to the UK govt list of HCIDs clade 1 Mpox is airborne

In months there’ll be a lot of people with Mpox saying “but we didn’t know”

Yeah we did - mask NOW

Just a reminder, unlike Pfizer & Moderna, Novavax targets S2

The stable part of the Spike protein

The part that doesn't vary between mutations

More & more that appears to be a good thing

👏👏👏

@bunsenbernerbmd Thank goodness! My mother had something similar in her neck last year - almost killed her. They called it a laryngocoel. A new one on me.

The world's in a better place vis-a-vis #mpox vaccine production than it was in 2022, during the clade IIb international outbreak. But there are still limits on supplies. @BavarianNordic CEO laid out their numbers for @statnews. https://t.co/HXtQOPG6Sa

@HelenBranswell @CDCgov CDC didn’t record pediatric flu deaths until 2004? Wow.

[Helen Branswell 🇨🇦 @HelenBranswell]

This didn't take long: Sweden reports a case of clade I (I'm guessing clade Ib) #mpox, in someone who traveled to "an affected region."
Clade Ib is the version of the virus transmitting from person to person.
