For those who want a quick recap on #epidemiology:
It was plumbing that ended the cholera epidemic, not drinking sewage to strengthen everyone's immune system.
Thanks for coming to my #tedtalk.

It’s pretty wack that The Billionaires are simultaneously demanding that women produce more babies while agitating to increase the infant mortality rate by reducing access to vaccines.

Maybe this is where people are getting it. I can't believe raw milk is even legal in the U.S>
⚠️ BREAKING:
California state health officials confirmed that H5N1 bird flu virus has been detected in sold raw milk from the Fresno-based Raw Farm dairy.
Santa Clara County public health officials collected the sample.

If a human-to-human transmissible #H5N1 variant with an R0=2 emerged today, starting from patient zero, it would take approximately 4 months for the entire U.S. population to be infected, assuming no interventions.

According to all the armchair evolutionary biologists, viruses always evolve to become mild; otherwise, they would run out of hosts.
So this shouldn't be possible.

Excessive virulence can limit a virus's spread by incapacitating or killing hosts too quickly. However, in well-connected networks with large host populations, the evolutionary pressure to reduce virulence may be weak.

This is the largest increase on record.
18%+ increase this week in #California cows testing positive for #H5N1.
It's certainly an epidemic among U.S. cattle.

Has a new pandemic started? If these are human cases I would expect to see massive hospitalizations in the next 3 weeks.
#LosAngeles is experiencing a significant spike in #H5N1 levels in wastewater, surpassing what we typically see with seasonal flu.
Human cases are being reported statewide, but with such elevated wastewater levels, the question remains: where are the hospitalizations?

I don’t know, but the case of the infected teenager with #H5N1 in Canada, now a child in California, both without a known infection source is giving me bad „maybe we missed something“ vibes. I hope it is just coincidence but I am also a bit afraid something is just taking off.

Looking at the average CFR reported by each country for #H5N1, the mean sits at ~40%, with a 95% confidence interval of 25-55%.
@who.int calculate the total CFR to be 49%.
