Post Reply - A new pandemic

   -Measles-only seen in humans- growing problem however so far in clusters (around elementary schools/in unvaccinated often children. In part imported)  NOT nation wide in most countries...-CoViD -widespread in lots of creatures/animals...maybe by now MOST cases no longer in humans...Lots of new variants...biggest problem is CoViD being ignored...
-Mpox seems to hae a low R0 outside Africa...groups at risk are limited. In part gay men...but others also run risk when they get in contact with infected surfaces...The news is "under control" NOT the disease !

TB(c) cases show up a "bit more often" in the news...Like other diseases lots of cases missed/ignored or not reported...

H5N1 now also human cases in Mexico, India...linked to (wild/farm) birds...Very likely lots more human cases of H5N1 are ignored...

H5N1 is also widespread in lots of other species all over the globe (maybe Australia/New Zealand do not see H5N1 but have "their own" H7-flu types). 

A major risk is H5N1 mixing with other types of flu. https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2025/04/eid-journal-influenza-ah1n1pdm09-virus.html or https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2025/04/eid-journal-influenza-ah1n1pdm09-virus.html ;While 99% of wild-type seasonal flu viruses remain susceptible to Oseltamivir/Baloxavir, we follow reports of resistant strains with considerable interest.

DJ, the/a mix of diseases could undermine the defenses we have. From "natural-immunity" against measles no longer effective to H5N1 re-infecting US chicken....

We have to go for the RIGHT priorities; climate, health...NOT war !  We are moving high speed in the wrong direction !
