Mexiko-Stadt – In Mexiko ist ein erster Fall von Vogelgrippe beim Menschen registriert worden. Das drei Jahre alte Mädchen sei in Torreón im nördlichen Bundesstaat Coahuila ins Krankenhaus gebracht worden, ihr Gesundheitszustand sei „ernst“, erklärte das Gesundheitsministerium Ende vergangener Wiche.
The seasonal flu vaccines will give little to no protection against H5N1. The H5N1 vaccines may provide inly a little protection.
Expected lethality once it adapts to humans is 20-90%.
The other avian flus are similar. No guesses on their lethality.
With this administration and vaccines, we have decided to play American roulette. That works just like Russian roulette only using an AR-15 with a bump-stock in place of the revolver.
Lucky me. I already had measles.

Then too, add the inevitable development of human transmissible H5N1, or reassortment making it human transmissible - with high pathogenicity
The former could happen at any time. The latter is most likely this fall or next when the birds return from the arctic breeding grounds, having spent the summer trading flu viruses from all over the northern hemisphere.
Plus H3N3, H9N7, ...
The viruses are coming to take us away ha ha, ....

Officials: #Minnesota was about to be declared free of #AvianFlu, but it won't last long
Story by Jeremiah Jacobsen, March 26, 2025
"Minnesota was on track to declare itself free of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (#HPAI, also known as #H5N1) on Friday, but state officials cautioned on Wednesday that is not likely to last.
"The state has not seen any new cases of HPAI reported in birds since January, which fits the official classification to be declared bird flu-free. However, Minnesota State Veterinarian Dr. Brian Hoefs said the return of migratory birds and recent positive testing on a Stearns County dairy farm mean it's only a matter of time before disease is detected again in birds.
"Hoefs said in the past, avian flu cases tended to follow the migratory bird season, but in recent years, as the illness has moved to more wild and domestic species, H5N1 cases are sticking around beyond the usual seasons. Much like influenza strains in humans, avian flu strains also evolve.
"'This virus has a habit of changing, getting ahead of us, and kind of rerouting when we think we have to figure it out,' Hoefs said.
"Minnesota Ag Commissioner Thom Petersen said the concern right now is the potential spread to dairy farms, which could see a loss in production, but not the same type of mortality that's found with infected poultry herds.
"'As we watch what happened in California, where over 700 of their 900-plus dairy farms have gotten H5N1 in their dairy herds, Minnesota has over 1,600 dairy farms,' Petersen said. 'We want to be very much on top of this.'"

"Giesen/Kreis Hildesheim - Vor zweieinhalb Jahren waren es Wildgänse und Schwäne – nun wurde wieder bei einem Wildvogel im Kreis Hildesheim das Geflügelpest-Virus nachgewiesen. Wo das Tier gefunden wurde – und was die Kreisverwaltung Haltern nun dringend rät."

"In der Gemeinde Giesen (Landkreis Hildesheim) ist bei einem toten Greifvogel die Geflügelpest nachgewiesen worden. Das Tier war bereits am 4. März gefunden worden, teilte der Landkreis am Dienstag mit. Die Behörden rufen wegen des Nachweises alle Geflügelhalter dazu auf, ihre Tiere im Stall zu füttern und zu tränken"

"Damit sich die Geflügelpest nicht weiter ausbreitet, müssen sich Tierhalter an bestimmte Anweisungen halten. Das gilt auch für Privatleute mit wenigen Tieren."

„H5N1 weitet sein Wirtsspektrum ziemlich dramatisch aus, und dabei nimmt es Mutationen auf, die das #Virus in Säugetieren besser funktionieren lassen“, sagte Worobey. Mit dieser gewissen Vor-Anpassung an Säugetiere steige das Risiko für den Menschen. So begännen Pandemien."

"Seit dem Ausbruch in den USA sei bekannt, dass H5N1 in der Milch eine potenzielle Infektionsquelle für Menschen darstelle. Bei Lebensmitteln wie Käse sei daher Vorsicht geboten. Professor Hutchinson warnte zudem vor der Möglichkeit, dass sich H5N1 mit menschlichen Grippestämmen „paart“ und ein neues menschliches Grippevirus entstehen könnte."

"The rapid spread of the highly infectious avian flu virus H5N1 has reached an “unprecedented” scale, wiping out hundreds of millions of birds worldwide and increasingly spilling over into mammals, the UN Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) warned on Monday."
