New here. Not sure how this works.
Very interesting! What is proposed as to where the funding would come from?

Why would you estimate the CFR to be lower if it learns how to transmit between humans better? I personally suspect CFR would likely jump higher first long before that

What about those of us which are old and no lover have antibodies (know from past pregnancy). How do we get boosted or can we?

How do we know it hasn't helped if it hasn't been compared to data?
If I raised chickens, I sure wouldn't want my neighbors within 7 miles to not cull, since we know know it might be literally spreading thorough bird poop dust through the wind:/

IMHO YES & no, ie yes as impact to livestock & other living beings... AABP minimized & called the clade B variant in 2024/Cows (& infected other animals & humans) BIAV; & there wasn't pressure to do the right thing. More recent terrifying to humans clade D1.1 likely from birds msss flying south.

In December my entire family got Covid, despite us being vaccinated in November... I suspect drift has happened a bit

Not all cows were symptomatic, by far, and... if you look.. testing was not always required. Especially early. Due to industry in some states doubtful all exposed even if they knew... tested or sought testing.
No idea why.. my guess would be a combo of vets trying to keep animals alive & greed?

Before everything was "paused" down; CDC fata showed an estimated 52% of infections were due to H3N2, which has a reputation for being particularly nasty. (May 2020 UK article..)

On the one hand... I think everyone was lucky that clade / strain didn't have the traditionally high mortality rate to humans. On the other hand.. . On a personal note I am worried the industry will expect vlade strain D1.1 to be the same.... only that strain has high mortality in humans as well..

It hasn't been spreading undetected in cows, well not really. Last year AABP has decided to call it "BIAV" instead of H5N1 in cows... many dairy workers infected... makes sense vets did too. www.porkbusiness.com/news/industr...

Agreed, although ring vaccination wouldn't work for viruses that literally have wings across borders... it would only work short term at initial outbreaks to prevent spread.... biding time. Which yes we do need

IMHO vaccinating chickens makes sense. It is the food supply, and let's face it.. humans are fallable and might be afraid to act quickly when it affects their pocketbook or livelihood. IMHO any livestock in large numbers probably should. AND i agree it should not be ONLY chickens.

For example.. Wikipedia has a lot of source data listed at the bottom, the sources referenced speak for themselves. Multiple virus tracking forums have been discussing H5N1 (and other viruses) for decades, but if you'd like I'd start reading the material referenced here to start .

That is based on a single strain clade that has not adapted to humans well. The one that is newly introduced D1.1 is of high concern. Overall the mortality rate is still extremely high. It has been studied and reported on since at least the 1990s

You are right, e don't. Keep in mind those numbers are that high when it hasn't adopted to spread to humans that well :/
