So people working on poultry farm w/ huge #H5N1 outbreak, were infected w/ virus containing clear marker for virus from dairy cows.
Either workers also work on dairy farm & got infected there, or massive 1.8M poultry outbreak likely caused by virus from dairy cows, then infected humans.
H/t to fast work by in sharing uncloaked data w/ .
More sequence data from could help find missing links. - < 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-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;">  Breaking news. 1st sequence of the #H5N1 viruses from Colorado human cases reported over weekend posted in by (in only 3 days is very fast). See link below for trees.
Interestingly, the virus appears to cluster w/ viruses from dairy cows & cow milk and NOT with previous wild bird or poultry viruses. might be able to do a detailed analysis.
This is concerning. It would be helpful if would share virus sequences from birds on the same farm & nearby.
Huge thanks to for rapid work & data sharing. Hoping the other 4 virus data are shared soon, too.

As pressure mounts for meat producers to improve their treatment of animals and environmental footprints, they’re turning to a tried-and-true strategy — used in the past by the tobacco and oil industries — to expand their markets and shore up the public’s trust in their products: funding favorable research from university scientists. So -again- if profits/money is all that matters-politics/science for sale-we move from one disaster to the other...
