What’s the plan?
Suppose household transmission clusters start appearing, or cases that haven’t had any animal contact.
What’s the plan?
Suppose we start seeing human cases exported to other countries, and evidence of high severity in certain age groups, alongside growing evidence of human-to-human transmission.
What’s the plan?
Not ‘what’s a retweetable sound bite that wouldn’t get the reproduction number below 1’.
Not ‘what’s a snippet of a pre-2020 pandemic flu plan that assumes vast numbers of deaths and doesn’t account for subsequent innovations in use of rapid tests, digital contact tracing etc’
What, here in 2024, is the plan for dealing with an outbreak of a potentially pandemic pathogen like H5N1? DJ, "saving the economy"..."only profits/money matters"...The plan is censorship...do not test do not tell ? Or is this a "biden-plan" to keep trump from the white house-twist ?  < 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;"> Finding another H5N1 infection in a dairy worker is, sadly, not surprising. But not hearing about it until after the worker has recovered is very frustrating. I’m glad the patient got treatment— that’s the top priority. But we need timely case finding and reporting. DJ, very likely there are several human H5N1 infections-most mild...but it is the start that can result in spread...
