Bird Flu & Other Deadly Disease Outbreaks 2025 Edition

We just got three more hits in feral cats - two of which died. At this point, it’s a foregone conclusion that it will spread deeper into the human pool this year. Whether we will see a lot of human-to-human spread and what the population health impacts will be are still just guesses.
 
Look Dropbear Dropbear , now no one has to know what's going on. This should make your job easier.


Trump administration directs federal health agencies to pause communications​



This morning was the first time in 75 years that MMWR didn’t send out the weekly updates. CDC are shit at response, but this is what they do well. We need their research and intelligence gathering because it can’t be done at a local level.
 

US reports first outbreak of H5N9 bird flu in poultry​

PARIS, Jan 27 (Reuters) - The United States has reported its first outbreak of H5N9 bird flu in poultry on a duck farm in California, the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH) said on Monday.
U.S. authorities also detected the more common H5N1 strain on the same farm in Merced County, California, they said in a report to Paris-based WOAH, adding that the almost 119,000 birds on the farm had been killed by Dec. 2.
Highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI), commonly called bird flu, has spread around the globe in recent years, leading to the culling of hundreds of millions of poultry. It also spread to dozens of mammal species, including dairy cows in the U.S. and killed a person in Louisiana.

The strain that has caused most damage in recent years has been H5N1. H5N9 is rarer.
"This is the first confirmed case of HPAI H5N9 in poultry in the United States," the U.S. Department of Agriculture said in the report to the WOAH.
"The USDA Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), in conjunction with State Animal Health and Wildlife Officials, are conducting comprehensive epidemiological investigations and enhanced surveillance in response to the HPAI related events," it added.
