A long, dark, helpful H5N1 explainer thread.
Since H5N1 flu is finally getting news coverage, here’s a looong 🧵 on what I learned while working on it for a few months at Ginkgo Biosecurity (I don’t work there anymore and this thread is on no one’s behalf)

Everything here is info you can get elsewhere but just to lay it all out insomnia style

Amen to that
The people you see masking are the ones who:

* care
* are paying attention
* know there’s a better way

We understand what’s happening and we reject it

⚠️Worried—California reports HUMAN H5N1 bird-flu in a child with no known contact with infected animals. This is at least the 3rd COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION incidence of H5N1 without any animal contact. Same with the ICU hospitalized case. This is maybe human-to-human, long distance airborne, or milk?
