#CDC reports 6 more child deaths from #flu
Parents not warned that #covid damages immune system. #Doctors refuse to #N95 mask to halt transmission. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/influenza-general/cdc-reports-6-more-child-deaths-flu-virus-levels-stay-moderate-high #SamaraVirus #Samara
What the media doesn’t tell you about your risk in this #measles outbreak:
1- A well sealed respirator { #N95 } is needed to keep from breathing in this virus
2- If you’ve had covid, your immune system is damaged. Now any kind of infection is likely to be more severe.
3- Measles is #airborne. So is #influenza, #norovirus, #SARS2, #RSV, #tuberculosis, #monkeypox . Virus can spread in a vacant room hours after the infected person leaves. See #1 - wear an N95 / FFP2.
4- Good hygiene is always a good idea. This includes air hygiene.

It’s not too late to grow up and put on a well-fitting respirator in a #healthcare facility
A wave of cat deaths from #BirdFlu prompts new rules from the USDA and FDA on pet food production
“…it’s the DEATH of the CAPTIVE CATS, say scientists, that should concern #PublicHealth authorities. It’s a sign that the VIRUS is GETTING INTO the COMMERCIAL MEAT and MILK supply”

In the News:
#Norovirus Rampant, worse than seen before
What you need to know:
In addition to being contact, food, & water-borne, it’s also #airborne. So if you want to SKIP THE VOMIT, you’ll need donn that #N95 respirator mask - in addition to washing your hands and avoiding contaminated foods.
The kicker:
If you’ve had covid, your immune system won’t be able to fight off norovirus like it did before. You are now more susceptible to any type of infection.
It’s been a rough start to 2025, hasn’t it? Take care out there!

Experts call for more surveillance of #H5N1 in domestic #cats
Cats have been dying from both bird & cow clades of avian #influenza. Could they be a reservoir for virus evolution & transmission to mammals?
AVMA advises #N95 PPE to prevent spreading #HPAI; cat mortality rate is up to 67%

The report echoes calls by other scientists to ramp up the surveillance of felines, which are susceptible to the virus and have a high mortality rate. The AVMA says several cases in cats linked to poultry or wild bird exposure had been reported before the outbreak began in dairy cows last spring.
The #CDC did something AWESOME! Along with the USDA & Dept of Interior, it released the first-ever
“National One Health Framework to Address #Zoonotic Diseases & Advance Public Health Preparedness in the United States”
- for #health threats people & animals SHARE, including #covid19, #mpox #AvianFlu, and #Ebola
High Marks, Center for Disease Control! Earning your name this week 🏆

A day after the United States reported its first human death from avian #flu, the UN World Health Organization (#WHO) insisted on Tuesday that the risk to the wider population remains “low”
“a lot of surveillance”
“Underlying conditions”
https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/01/1158776
Insist. A lot. Underlying conditions. Minimize.

The USA reports it’s first fatal #H5N1 infection - the Louisiana woman who had been recently hospitalized with severe #Avian #influenza
The US has reported 66 human H5N1 cases since the start of 2024. Most of these were of the clade circulating in dairy herds. But both this Louisiana fatality and the hospitalized teen in Canada had the type of H5N1 found in wild birds.
