It wouldn't be a Friday afternoon without a last minute barrage of avian flu updates. Less than an hour ago Washington State added 3 presumed positives to their list, and now California has added 3 more cases to their list (n=19). While the CDC's list only reflects one of those 5 cases, it does have a new line item - which I've no information on - called `Jurisdiction Pending', with one case from poultry contact.
It does appear that the `current' number is probably closer to 46, although it is generally assumed that this is a significant undercount. Stay tuned. - https://flutrackers.com/forum/forum/united-states/h5n1-tracking-af/991361-us-h5n1-human-case-list?view=stream or https://flutrackers.com/forum/forum/united-states/h5n1-tracking-af/991361-us-h5n1-human-case-list?view=stream ; Just to make this more confusing, CDC is stating that there are 37 H5 positive cases since September 29, 2024 https://www.cdc.gov/fluview/surveill...4-week-43.html This would presumably not include the Colorado, Michigan, Missouri, or Texas cases above which all occurred prior to that date and this leaves 32 cases meaning there could be another 5 confirmed positive cases out there. - Our list in same format as CDC: California = 19 Colorado = 10, 1 cattle contact & 9 poultry contacts Michigan - 2, both cattle contact Missouri - 2, unknown source - CDC only counts 1 of these cases Texas - 3, all cattle, CDC only counts 1 of these cases. 2 other cases are cited in a research paper. It is possible one of the cases in the paper is the same case acknowledged by the CDC. Without a real CDC line list it is impossible to know with certainty. Washington - 12, all poultry contact Jurisdiction Pending - 0 (what is this exactly?) Total = 48 DJ, playing with numbers is hiding facts...  < 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;"> H5 bird flu virus has been found in Los Angeles County wastewater for the first time, according to WastewaterSCAN. DJ,so depending on where the wastewater comes from H5 bird flu at high enough levels for detection...Still most may come from non-human cases... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_A_virus_subtype_H5N1#Mortality or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Influenza_A_virus_subtype_H5N1#Mortality last update october 30. DJ-At least the US is reporting (human) cases of H5N1...very likely more areas then SE Asia, US have human H5N1 cases, China has H5N6 cases... Pigs with H5N1 (from mixed farms) another move in the wrong direction...
