These summaries are really neat, thanks for putting them together.

The bird flu case is pretty worrying, it sounds like they weren't able to determine the source of the infection. At least they did contact tracing and everyone was negative.

Great summary, thanks!

Despite the great images of IO the linked article comes with this mud pearl "[University of Arizona's Large Binocular Telescope] With two primary mirrors measuring 8.4 m (~27.5 ft), it has a collecting area slightly greater than that of a 30-meter (98.4 ft) telescope."

I thought people were dying from infected milk? Is that not H5N2?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 months ago (1 children)

There are two separate avian flus circulating in North America right now. The US has an unknown number of H5N1 infections, but no confirmed deaths. Mexico has one confirmed death due to H5N2, but all contacts tested negative. Of course, with how viruses work, the actual prevalence is likely 10x the official number.

Oh, that’s awful, but it explains the confusion. Thanks
