South Korea's Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (AI) Control Center announced on Thursday (March 20) that the H5 type of avian influenza (AI) virus antigen was found at laying hen farms located in the cities of Cheonan and Sejong, South Chungcheong Province.

After delay, #CDC releases data signaling #BirdFlu spread undetected in #cows and #people

"The first study on the #H5N1 bird flu outbreak from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to make it to publication under the #Trump administration came out Thursday.

"The journal released data suggesting some #spillovers from dairy cattle into humans have gone #undetected, including in states where dairy herds have not tested positive.

"This comes after a #freeze in external communications that interrupted the agency's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, or #MMWR, a mainstay of public health communication. Publication on other topics resumed last week.

"In the new study, researchers analyzed blood samples collected from 150 veterinarians who worked with cattle around the country and found that three of them had #antibodies to the H5N1 virus, indicating recent infections. None recalled having any influenza-like symptoms or conjunctivitis. They also did not care for any cattle with known or suspected infections, although one did work with infected poultry.

"The findings underscore the difficulty of detecting and controlling human infections based on whether a person seeks out medical care, says Gregory Gray, an infectious disease epidemiologist at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston.

"'If the circulating #H5 viruses become more transmissible between humans, we are not going to be able to control transmission as the viruses will spread rapidly and often #subclinically,' says Gray.

"Previous CDC research that surveyed dairy workers found 7% had evidence of past infections, although only half reported symptoms. Work from Gray and his colleagues in Texas also indicates some cases in the dairy industry workforce are going undetected.

"'It means our surveillance is inadequate,' says Lauren Sauer, a professor at the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Public Health. 'Any detection of #asymptomatic or mild cases in this study just tells me we're missing cases.'"

gardło mnie, delikatnie mówiąc, napierdala, ale było warto. okiem licząc, na dzisiejszym solidemo z #H5 #h5poland pod sądem w Hajnówce było 200 osób. jest to sukces, szczególnie jak na wtorek, godzinę poranną (w teorii) i niewielkie jednak miasto. dzięki relacji prowadzonej prosto z sali przez @szpila wszystkie osoby wiedziały niemalże natychmiast, co się dzieje za zamkniętymi drzwiami i mogłyśmy na to reagować
nie jest to koniec procesu. nadal trzeba patrzeć na ręce prokuraturze i sędziom, ale dzisiaj jako środowisko pokazaliśmy swoją solidarność, nieważne czy na ulicy na Podlasiu, w Gdańsku, Wrocławiu czy w internecie. i musimy to podtrzymać. żadna z obecnych dzisiaj na sali czterech osób (a tym bardziej nieobecna piąta osoba) z absurdalnymi zarzutami za niesienie pomocy nie powinna mieć poczucia pozostawienia samej sobie

In the month or two that I've been watching, and posting, the U.S. CDC's H5 wastewater maps, I've not seen any detections in Washington state (big cat sanctuary), Arizona (Wildlife World Zoo), or Louisiana. Clearly the wastewater data are not telling anywhere near the whole story. I'd go so far as to say the maps are even more useless than the CDC.
