DJ...statistics have limits...if hospital admissions are very low an increase of 24% may mean 1 extra admission in the latest week...However in general the global trend for CoViD is underlining we are still in a CoViD pandemic (WHO view) (above should be the link to corona headsup twitter feed)

https://x.com/CoronaHeadsUp">  Recent H5N1 viruses are evolving increased receptor binding breadth which could impact the host range and cell types infected
A single mutation in dairy cow-associated H5N1 viruses increases receptor binding breadth
H/t https://x.com/RickABright - @RickABright DJ, H5N1 is one of the emerging flu types to watch. "Human" flu mostly is a H1, H2 or H3 typo of flu...however H5, H7, H9 types of -most- bird flu seems to be an increasing risk.

DJ, "A few diseases to watch" means a need for increased testing ! We need extra finance to go to public health, study on diseases, spread... One of the reasons why we may NOT see money going there is because we do know a lot of the answers; We have to change the way we live because we are killing ourselves... https://x.com/CoronaHeadsUp - https://x.com/EckerleIsabella">  https://x.com/EckerleIsabella - https://x.com/EckerleIsabella - · https://x.com/EckerleIsabella/status/1804979167219380229 - The situation of https://x.com/hashtag/H5N1?src=hashtag_click - #H5N1 feels like watching a car crash in slow motion….where’s the global push to contain the spread of this virus in so many animals? DJ, Both CoViD and H5N1 have become widespread in mammals. Cat/rat-like animals eat infected birds catching H5N1. CoViD did spread from humans into animals... One of my questions is if there was a link between https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_swine_fever_virus#2018%E2%80%932020_African_swine_fever_panzootic - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_swine_fever_virus#2018%E2%80%932020_African_swine_fever_panzootic or https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_swine_fever_virus#2018%E2%80%932020_African_swine_fever_panzootic and the start of CoViD... A WHO-study does not think a "lab-leak" is that likely. CoViD-19=SARS-2...We had SARS-1 in 2003. That WAS contained...MERS is still around-but limited... The basic question/idea is one disease may not stay in one species/host-animal...it can also start/increase risks for other diseases... CoViD did increase risks for H5N1 as a next pandemic...
