1st time that bird flu of the subtype H5N5 has been detected in lynx.
The autopsy showed that the lynx was in good condition and had had an acute course of the disease.
Further examinations showed that the virus was only present in the brain. - https://independentsage.substack.com/p/just-the-flu-hampers-our-response or https://independentsage.substack.com/p/just-the-flu-hampers-our-response ; Prof Steve Griffin on why "just a flu" is such a dangerous phraseThe phrase “just the flu” has enraged me since COVID began as it pays neither SARS-CoV2, nor influenza virus, the respect they deserve. This phrase, clearly aimed at normalising pandemic harms, effectively benchmarks flu, which causes 1000s of UK deaths annually, as “normal”. This is despite available vaccines, drugs, and hard-earned population immunity against the flu virus. Sadly, familiarity breeds contempt, or in this case, complacency. The UK “living with” COVID response relies entirely on this premise of flu as a “normal” illness, crowbarring a COVID peg into an influenza-shaped hole. The result: an overstretched NHS enduring additional health burden with little extra resource. SARS-CoV2 has made “winter pressures” perennial (Figure 1). As a result, more people are dying, hundreds of thousands more people are unable to work, and support for Long Covid patients is dwindling. This “new normal” is NOT befitting of a country with (historically) advanced health and social care. DJ, indie_SAGE did do a good job in informing people. We may welcome them back...

Covid mortality rates. No surprises: Well-vaccinated Northern European nations, Canada, Northern U.S. had lowest mortality; less vaccinated Southern U.S. fared worse; poorly vaccinated regions Africa, Russia the worst
https://healthdata.org/research-analysis/diseases-injuries-risks/factsheets/2021-covid-19-level-3-disease DJ, Some western-most US-"experts" claim China is lying on its statistics. However China/Asia has a tradition of masking...decent sick-pay often, the idea you are part of society...above "freedom" to not give a damn... So yes lots of countries will do better then "neo-liberal freedom" countries destroying climate, health...Outlook for 2025 is bad. Learning the hard way...

Chinese view; AFP: Yesterday, the World Health Organization (WHO) called on China to share COVID-19 data and provide access to help understand the origins of the virus. They called it a moral and scientific imperative. Does the Foreign Ministry have any response to this call from WHO? Mao Ning: Since the outbreak of COVID-19 five years ago, China has shared information on the outbreak and genome sequence of the virus with WHO and the international community at the earliest time possible, and has shared with others our control and clinical experience without reservation, making great contribution to the global effort of fighting against COVID-19. On the origins-tracing of COVID-19, China follows the spirit of science, openness, and transparency, actively supports and participates in global science-based origins-tracing, and firmly opposes any form of political manipulation. China is the only country that has invited more than once WHO expert groups to come into the country to conduct joint origins study. China is also the only country that has organized multiple events for its experts to share progress on origins-tracing with WHO. On the origins-tracing of COVID-19, China has shared more data and research findings and contributed more to worldwide COVID-19 origins study than any other country. WHO experts said on multiple occasions that the Chinese side granted full access to all sites, personnel and material they requested when conducting study in China, and that the level of openness and transparency in China is what they hadn’t expected. The international science community is now providing increasing clues that point possible COVID origins to various parts of the world, and a global perspective is needed to carry out origins-tracing work in multiple countries and regions. China stands ready to work with all parties to continue advancing global science-based origins-tracing study and make active contribution to better guard against infectious diseases in the future. DJ, Lots of global findings point to early CoViD cases https://www.coronaheadsup.com/science/origins/sars-cov-2-in-angola-from-23rd-september-2019/ or https://www.coronaheadsup.com/science/origins/sars-cov-2-in-angola-from-23rd-september-2019/ So was Wuhan military games-october 2019 a spread event ? US/west confrontationism; No. Actually the spokesperson is lying. The Wuhan market was cleaned up immediately with no outside observers. Only YEARS later did the China government disclose some information about the outbreak circumstances. They are trying to re-write history. Probability and statistics do not support their allegations that SARS-Cov-2 developed and broke out in "various parts of the world". Ridiculous. This is what you get with a dictatorship operating with a closed press. DJ...It did take decades to get a basic view on the Spanish Flu. The US is seeking conflicts all over the world by all means. YES-A lot of pandemics did start -at least in part-in China. (China-Laos rain forest part of the risk). Global border controls failed to contain SARS-2. The US regime is a global problem. The way the US is twisting stories to fit their own agenda an insult to science and humanity... < aria-label="Grok s" role="" ="-175oi2r r-1777fci r-bt1l66 r-bztko3 r-lrvibr r-1loqt21 r-1ny4l3l" ="" style="text-align: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-family: inherit; align-items: stretch; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: black; display: flex; flex-basis: auto; flex-direction: column; flex-shrink: 0; list-style: none; margin: 0px; min-height: 20px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; : relative; : 0; overflow: ; justify-: center; cursor: pointer; outline-style: none; user-: none;"> < aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="menu" aria-label="More" role="" ="-175oi2r r-1777fci r-bt1l66 r-bztko3 r-lrvibr r-1loqt21 r-1ny4l3l" -testid="caret" ="" style="text-align: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-family: inherit; align-items: stretch; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: black; display: flex; flex-basis: auto; flex-direction: column; flex-shrink: 0; list-style: none; margin: 0px; min-height: 20px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; : relative; : 0; overflow: ; justify-: center; cursor: pointer; outline-style: none; user-: none;"> - < aria-label="Grok s" role="" ="-175oi2r r-1777fci r-bt1l66 r-bztko3 r-lrvibr r-1loqt21 r-1ny4l3l" ="" style="text-align: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-family: inherit; align-items: stretch; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: black; display: flex; flex-basis: auto; flex-direction: column; flex-shrink: 0; list-style: none; margin: 0px; min-height: 20px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; : relative; : 0; overflow: ; justify-: center; cursor: pointer; outline-style: none; user-: none;"> < aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="menu" aria-label="More" role="" ="-175oi2r r-1777fci r-bt1l66 r-bztko3 r-lrvibr r-1loqt21 r-1ny4l3l" -testid="caret" ="" style="text-align: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-family: inherit; align-items: stretch; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: black; display: flex; flex-basis: auto; flex-direction: column; flex-shrink: 0; list-style: none; margin: 0px; min-height: 20px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; : relative; : 0; overflow: ; justify-: center; cursor: pointer; outline-style: none; user-: none;"> DJ, healthcare in most developed countries is public and not for profits...western neo-liberalism is that rotten and corrupt it will sell anything...

https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/12/nejm-critical-illness-in-adolescent.html or https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2024/12/nejm-critical-illness-in-adolescent.html ;
Today, the NEJM has published a correspondence from the team of doctors and public health investigators into this case which provides far more detail than we've seen previously. We learn that the patient was a 13 year-old girl, and that after several weeks of intensive care she was able to come off ECMO on November 22nd, was extubated on November 28th. Details on her current condition, and/or any sequelae are not provided. Of considerable interest, todays report discusses the detection of several significant amino acid substitutions, which are believed to increase mammalian adaptations. Just over a month ago, in Referral: MedCram On Avian Flu Mutations That Favor Human Transmission, we looked at early reports of ambiguous mutations at several key sites (Q226 and E190 (H3 numbering)) in the HA gene.
Today's report adds that the PB2-E627K mutation was also detected (52% allele frequency). This mutation is known to increase IAV replication in mammalian cells, and is considered a particularly important finding. Curiously, we've seen more than twice as many human infections with the bovine B3.13 genotype, and so far, none have been severe. Both genotypes continue to evolve and adapt, however. DJ, Again; -H5N1 is a GLOBAL problem in mammals -more or less- in all continents (Australia still no H5N1 cases in birds ??? One imported human case from India) -CoViD is again going for another wave-slowly decreasing human group protection against lots of other diseases...and CoViD itself may become worse even more... -A new sort of disease-for humans-may find ways to become very widespread and very fast < aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="menu" aria-label="More" role="" ="-175oi2r r-1777fci r-bt1l66 r-bztko3 r-lrvibr r-1loqt21 r-1ny4l3l" -testid="caret" ="" style="text-align: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-family: inherit; align-items: stretch; border-width: 0px; border-style: solid; border-color: black; display: flex; flex-basis: auto; flex-direction: column; flex-shrink: 0; list-style: none; margin: 0px; min-height: 20px; min-width: 0px; padding: 0px; : relative; : 0; overflow: ; justify-: center; cursor: pointer; outline-style: none; user-: none;"> As a new year brings new public health leadership, it’s worth rereading this piece, which warns that bird flu risk to the general public, while unpredictable, can transition from low to high in “dizzyingly brief” time. https://statnews.com/2024/10/16/bird-flu-pandemic-overall-risk-low-continued-h5n1-outbreak-dairy-cattle-worrisome/… via DJ, So ALSO CoViD and H5N1 are high risk... We are NOT doing enough to contain spread. The main steps however can be made by YOU !!! If ill-try to limit spread...masks work (nothing is 100% perfect-but it is the combination of steps that matter !) Vaccines limit disease...may give complications in very limited numbers...however may also limit chronic healthissues.
