Virologist always in awe at the beauty and mistery of nature.
Booked @british-airways.bsky.social flights for me and my daughter last week. Paid >£2,200, got confirmation & booking ref. Today I go to check the arrival time: booking gone. Called BA: “auto-cancelled by the system” with no notice. ~2 hs phone call to fix it. What if I had shown up at the airport?

Thanks to medical historian Martin Furmanski for driving the research of this hypothesis that might generate new leads about the origin of the 1918 flu pandemic. Just published in @jidjournal.bsky.social: doi.org/10.1093/infd...

Horses are natural hosts of influenza viruses so it’s no surprise that they can be infected by H5N1. We should monitor such infections in equine populations to prevent the emergence of novel influenza viruses that might affect horses and other animals, or even humans.
