DJ-The US is in many ways in crisis. I hope soon clear political leadership will show up.
President Kamala Harris should start TODAY !!!! To much time already has been wasted-money used to murder instead of heal...destruction instead of building...  < 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;">   Ongoing #H5N1 outbreak in U.S. dairy cattle is spreading around high-density cattle regions, including yet-to-report Nebraska and Wisconsin, both surrounded by detections. Highlights significant risk and potential for further spread to new areas.

Feeding poultry cattle "droppings" while cattle eats "poultry litter" may be a (bizarre) US "thing"...  < 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;">  My opinion: If pandemic flu does arrive, we will save many lives if every Australian has a 20 mg tablet of Baloxavir on hand (or Tamiflu course as a minimum). The cost will be negligible compared to the only other option, lockdowns.
But to stand any chance we need urgent surveillance, and available RAT tests.
#birdflu #H5N1 #foodscarcityDJ, I do expect more US H5N1 human cases in the US this week...  < 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;"> next pandemic will likely unfurl under conditions set by the imploding empire(s) that allowed COVID to eviscerate public health; the precautionary principle; & healthcare. All I鈥檓 saying is, please mask up, please take precautions. This will hit already marginalized folks hardest - < 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;"> I'm planning to start recruiting wastewater treatment facilities that service large animal processing facilities to get WW to screen, quantitate, and sequence H5 sequences.
Just want to keep an eye on whether it moves into other species.
Suggestions welcome. DJ, there is NO ROOM for kicking cans down the road any longer ! Climate disasters are now a daily event around the globe...lots of diseases out of control-very likely CoViD (immunity problem) linked... Politics HAVE TO COME with answers now ! Whoever is running the US STOP H5N1 NOW or see the next H5N1 pandemic on top of both CoViD and (different forms of) Mpox !
