Wow, human infection with avian flu H5N5!

Quite a surprise...
H5N5 was like a submarine virus over the last years, but requires clearly more attention

A Washington resident has been hospitalized with bird flu, according to the Washington State Health Department, and they’re infected with a strain of the virus that hasn’t been seen in humans before. https://cnn.it/4oIRswI

Really nice visualisation of a lagged health outcome over decades (in contrast to the delays over days/weeks we typically see for acute infectious diseases like COVID)

Falls ihr Euch in den letzten Wochen ebenfalls gefragt habt, wann es eigentlich zuletzt so richtig doll geregnet hat… Es kam nicht nur Euch so vor, als wäre es ewig her. Die Lage ist auch objektiv schlimm.
Die Daten des Deutschen Wetterdienstes sind da – und sie sind alarmierend.

Deutschlandweit war es von Anfang Februar bis Mitte April noch nie seit Beginn der Auswertung 1931 so trocken wie in diesem Jahr.

Und trotzdem bleibt die politische Reaktion erschreckend leise. Ein Thread 🧵

Satellitendaten zeigen die niedrigste winterliche Meereisausdehnung in der #Arktis seit 46 Jahren!
Besonders betroffen sind die Barentssee und das Beringmeer, wo warmes Atlantikwasser die Eisneubildung verzögert.

The rate of confirmed #influenza hospitalisations in the United States is the highest in at least 15 seasons (as far as Report data extends).
Latest data from US CDC to end of Week 6 (08-FEB-2025). That's a week ago of course.

1. It's Friday, which means FluView. Let's take a look.
This has been a very full-on flu season — the worst since well before the #Covid pandemic. #CDC says 2024-25 is now classified as a severe flu season, the first since the very bad 2017-18 season. Red arrow this year, blue arrow 2017-18.

Genotype D1.1 of H5N1 confirmed in Nevada cattle, which is the one circulating in birds and not B3.13, causing the wider cattle epizootic in the U.S.

In other words, this is a second observed jump from birds into cows.

Keep rolling the dice, shall we?

A fascinating paper from 2022 shows - with caveats - that individual cells can be coinfected by influenza A virus (IAV) and respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and, the interesting bit, can produce hybrid viral particles that contain both genomes and a mix of structural proteins.

Chimeric particles are formed when influenza A virus and respiratory syncytial virus coinfect lung cells in vitro.
