Type A H5N1 influenza has been spreading through animals and some people in the United States. There have been 70 cases in that country since during the past year, according to the World Health Organization, though researchers and studies suggest that’s likely an undercount.
In Mexico, the girl was in serious condition in a hospital in Torreon in the neighboring state of Coahuila, the health ministry said in a statement Friday. It said she had initially been treated with an anti-flu medication.
It was not known how the girl contracted the virus. Investigators were testing wild birds in the vicinity of the girl’s home, the statement said.
On the bright side the MAGA people won’t take the vaccine once it’s created

It wasn’t the US last time but ok. Neither of the two big MRNA vaccine producers were US.
Tell me you’re USanian without telling me.

No one will get it for free* more likely than not at all
That’s not a bright side for their neighbours.
Well it’s the only bright side so take it or leave it
It’s too dangerous. The world has to take this seriously.
What could possibly go wrong(er than with covid) with the host country slashing science and health organisations while their chief health moron suggests to just drink milk?..
There’s no particular reason to believe this was spread human-human.
“Young child in Mexico has novel influenza” was Swine Flu’s start. So I always get a little nervous reading about it.
The slightly better news is that compared to COVID, influenza sucks at spreading, so our non-pharmaceutical interventions are liable to stall it out pretty well.
Okay we had flu from bats, now we have flu from birds. Which othet animals fly? Could be important to predict the next flu.
Swine flu
I’ll believe it when pigs fly
“Should I, ahh, write the check, sir?”
“No.”
Carnists really believe that they can build endless torture/murder factories pouring out oceans of blood, shit, and disease without any consequences.
close border to US please. Stop this spread from US reaching the globe.
Rest in peace.
She’s not dead.
Not yet. I guarantee she’ll die some day.
This virus has incredibly high fatality compared to others, she was still hospitalized in critical condition in Durango when the news broke yesterday. If she does survive then I’ll be filled with surprise and joy, but I’m not betting on it. People need to know the stakes at hand.
