This is Colorado's 2nd (presumed) H5N1 infection, with https://afludiary.blogspot.com/2022/04/colorado-investigating-1st-human-avian.html - the first coming in 2022, linked to poultry culling.
- This is the fourth case associated with an ongoing multistate outbreak of A(H5N1) in dairy cows and the first in Colorado. Previous cases were reported in https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2024/p0401-avian-flu.html - Texas (1) and https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2024/s0522-human-case-h5.html - Michigan ( https://www.cdc.gov/media/releases/2024/p0530-h5-human-case-michigan.html - 2 ). As with previous cases, the person is a worker on a dairy farm where cows tested positive for A(H5N1) virus. DJ, Waste water samples may indicate 9 a lot more) H5N1 spread in humans...So far-in general- with mild disease... A problem is a mix with other types of flu or CoViD-co-infection may see much more serious disease... Also H5N1 in cats did go to the brains/central nerve system. So-maybe we are just lucky...H5N1 in farm workers did not spread further than the eye... The human eye has some receptors we also find in cattle-better in "linking" with H5N1.

If he already recovered then it was more than a week ago if he’s “all good “. No talk about how many cows, are they still hot, or if he went back to work milking cows IF that’s what he was doing. No mention of cats at the farm or anything else laying around dead.Here’s a guy with conjunctivitis. The end.

How many more cases of human H5N1 infections is the US-CDC hiding ? Very likely other countries may NOT test humans for H5N1 so they do not find any...

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 ? https://x.com/RickABright - https://x.com/JenniferNuzzo">  https://x.com/JenniferNuzzo - https://x.com/JenniferNuzzo - · https://x.com/JenniferNuzzo/status/1808611100147020110 - 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...
