👁️AVIAN FLU CONJUNCTIVITIS IN HUMANS—Scientists are worried about avian flu infecting humans via the eyes—because we humans have the same sugar-receptor-complexes as birds, which allows eye infections of #H5N1 highly pathogenic #avianflu. Avian flu experts worried about high virus levels in cow milk and farmers who milk cows. ➡️Important also not to drink raw milk, or eat cheeses made from raw milk either, CDC warns.

2) Another risk to dairy farmers is that using high pressure sprayers can aerosolize the avian flu virus in the milk (on the floor) and make the virus in the milk airborne. And dairy workers usually don’t wear masks or googles. Image
3) Milk concentrations of the virus seems to be high, because the virus seems to concentrate in the cow mammary glands. Pasteurized milk only folks! See thread 🧵 below.
4) Actually wait… even basic pasteurization may not be enough. Read the thread 🧵 below… 👇
5) 🫁👁️👃👄… basically all the major portals, says the CDC.
6) “Bird flu virus in the air”. #AvianFlu Image
7) The CDC and USDA and FDA needs to do more tracing of asymptomatic cows and what’s going on there.
8) <>

“Poultry-to-human avian influenza (AI) virus transmission can occur from 3 types of exposure: fomite-contact transmission, including contact with contaminated surfaces; droplet transmission, in which large (>5 μm) particles contact a person’s conjunctiva or respiratory mucosa; and droplet nuclei transmission (or aerosol transmission), in which a person inhales small (<5 μm) particles suspended in the air”

9) Avian flu outbreak update — this virus is definitely hop skipping across the U.S. rapidly in the last month among dairy herds.
10) There is a newly discovered mutation in avian flu in the most recent Texas man who was infected. The CDC says this mutation makes it more efficient for infection in mammals.
11) some casual WHO stats on humans and avian flu…

UPDATE—Solar Storm hits the highest level of G5, the first in over 2 decade, which could knock out power to grids and disrupt GPS. A coronal mass ejection of G5 was also what the infamous “Carrington Event” was in 1859. But it depends on magnetic 🧲 polarity of each CME wave. NOAA warned earlier today that CME storms tend to be even stronger on the latter half of a storm wave. Let’s hope the next two days won’t be as extreme as the Carrington Event. #solarstormImage
Image
2) the CME does create super gorgeous auroras.
3) We are potentially in for a wild weekend. We haven’t been hit with this many CMEs in a long ass time. Nor has NOAA alerted with a GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH in over 20 years.

⚡️INBOUND SOLAR STORMS—5x mega coronal mass ejections - CMEs - that can knock out power are going to be slamming at Earth 🌍 between Friday and Sunday this weekend. Earth has only been hit with 3 previous severe CMEs in last 4 years. But we are gonna get 5x G4 CMEs in 3 days!😳 Image
2) Let this sink — this is the first GEOMAGNETIC STORM WATCH since 2005!

Folks - this is serious - it can knock out not only electricity but it can theoretically knock out airplanes ✈️ too! Image
3) Folks- it’s possible. Not only can it cause higher radiation and knock out communications, but a strong CME can knock out airliner avionics. “according to reports by aviation regulators, the issue is not whether it will happen, but when” 😳 thedailybeast.com/how-a-solar-st…

Things are not going well with whooping cough (pertussis). Childhood vaccinations plummeting in the UK 🇬🇧, and kids also have weakened immune systems post-COVID. And it’s not even autumn 🍂.

HT @1goodtern Image
2) Also… let’s not forget the “m” word. Because masks do work if society takes it seriously.
3) unless we systematically solve the. chronic lack of public health infrastructure, new outbreaks will continue. We shouldn’t just learn to live with it.

⚠️New sudden outbreak of MERS coronavirus with HUMAN TO HUMAN transmission—WHO has put out an outbreak bulletin regarding 3 cases in Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦 who contracted MERS (with zero contact with camels). All 3 were hospitalized and intubated. Index case has died in just 11 days from the onset of cough and a runny nose. ➡️Here where it gets interesting—the other 2 cases, found via vigorous contact tracing—both likely contracted it from the index case in the hospital—one shared a hospital room with the index case, while the other merely visited the same hospital’s ER—but he was NOT in the same hospital ward as the index case! Given second case was in a completely separate ward of the hospital, it makes me think it was likely #airborne transmission.

Shouldn’t we all masking in hospitals? @CDCgov’s idiotic HICPAC committee that sets hospital safety standards meantime wants to water them down. Someone should share this with the HICPAC folks, thanks. And demand @CDCDirector to get serious about public health again.

2) previously, WHO’s Feb bulletin of Aug 2023-Feb 2024 only reported 4 cases, 2 had camel🐪 contact. None of the previous 4 had any linkages (ie no human to human transmission evidence). Thus, this new hospital-derived outbreak is concerning.

3) it seems the Index case’s only overlap with Case #3 was on April 4th— the day they both went to the same hospital’s ER. But otherwise they were in different wards. And by the time the 3rd case went to the ICU on April 15th, the index case was already dead (died on April 11th). So it wasn’t ICU exposure. It was the ER—➡️why which why EVERYONE NEEDS TO WEAR MASKS IN THE ER DAMNIT! 🔥Image

“Think of the impact [of #LongCovid] on inflation and economy. On the talented labor pool unable to work. LC is a terrible—in the U.S. so far—there’s been 16 million people, 4 mil out of a job—mostly young people in their 20s, 30s and 40s. Someone that used to jog 5 km can barely walk now because of permanent lung damage.“

(Moderna CEO Stephane Bancel)
2) Not just in the U.S… gee what happened to workers starting late 2020… the staggering loss of economic activity since the start of the pandemic is one of the biggest buried topics.
3) “One EU estimate suggests that long Covid may have cut labour supply in the bloc by up to 0.5 per cent in 2022, the equivalent of more than 1mn full-time workers. Studies in the US and UK have reached broadly similar conclusions — suggesting the condition has driven the recent increase in workplace absence in many countries”

Very worried—“The virus may soon develop the ability to transmit from one human to another… This is of great concern. Earlier birds… then it started affecting mammals and now the virus has evolved and developed the ability to infect humans…” @WHO Farrar
2) “We have to make sure that the H5N1 does not come across humans as it can easily develop the ability to transmit between humans.”
3) Last year, scientists warned of a key mutation that would help supercharge human transmission down the road — the critical “E627K” mutation in the virus’s RNA polymerase PB2 gene. ➡️Well, guess what effing appeared in a CDC report for the first time last month in an infected Texas man? ⚠️That very goddamn E627K mutation! This is mammalian adaptation. This is why WHO is warning we are maybe approaching the brink of human adaptation.

(Warning article about E627K from 2023).
