At least 24 million cases, 310,000 hospitalizations and 13,000 deaths — 57 of them children — have been reported for this flu season, which began in October, according to data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on Friday.

Latest #TWiV clinical update with Dr. Daniel Griffin kicks off with an apt quotation for the U.S.: "If you do not change direction you might end up where you are heading." -- Lao Tzu
Dr. Griffin notes that even though an #MMWR was published, it was censored, because 3 expected reports on #BirdFlu were not in it. #Fascism #CDC

The finding indicates that the virus, known as H5N1, has spilled from birds into cows at least twice — leading to these two sets of infections — and that it could continue to do so. It also suggests that the virus may pose a persistent risk to cows and to the people who work closely with them.

"Human metapneumovirus is transmitted in a similar way to other respiratory viruses, like the flu and COVID and RSV, mainly through respiratory droplets that are produced while an individual coughs or sneezes. It can also be spread through what we call contaminated fomites," said Dr. Matthew Binnicker.

#Alabama town gets newly identified henipavirus named after it. Camp Hill virus (CHV), related to deadly Hendra and Nipah viruses found in Australia and SE Asia, is first in the U.S.
"RNA metagenomic analysis of tissues from 4 wild-caught northern short-tailed shrews in Alabama, USA, revealed a novel henipavirus (family Paramyxoviridae). Phylogenetic analysis supported the placement of the virus within the shrew henipavirus clade, related to human-infecting shrewborne henipaviruses. Our study results highlight the presence of henipavirus infections in North America." #InfectiousDisease #virology https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/31/2/24-1155_article
