Meanwhile Reuters 2 hours ago:

"Unlike earlier outbreaks, this subtype of H5N1 is not causing significant disease in people. So far, only about a half dozen cases have been reported to the World Health Organization (WHO) in people who had close contact with infected birds, and most of those have been mild."

Yes, there it is, they are already calling it mild. 🤡

Peru confirms H5N1 avian flu in marine mammals, part of southward spread

"In a follow-up, SENASA said at least 585 sea lions and 55,000 wild birds have been found dead in seven of the country's coastal nature preserves, likely due to avian flu.

Also, media reports citing Peru's health ministry said tests on a zoo lion in central Peru identified H5N1 as the cause of death."

"The team’s analysis showed that immunocompromised patients overall had a 44% higher risk of death in hospital than patients with normal immune systems. This difference remained even accounting for other important factors such as age, sex and the presence of other chronic medical conditions."

Japanese media now also parroting the usual immunity debt nonsense:

"Hiroyuki Moriuchi, a Nagasaki University Hospital professor and pediatric infectious diseases specialist, speculated, "People have a weakened immune system as a result of having been unexposed to viruses amid intensified anti-coronavirus measures (in 2021 and 2022)."

This feels like the exact opposite of the West:

"Wearing a mask has also been associated with good etiquette for many people in Asia. It is common courtesy to wear a mask in public to prevent others from getting sick, especially because one never knows who around them might have weakened immune systems or live with someone who is vulnerable.

In crowded spaces, unmasked people stand out."

What could go wrong?

"The largest ever outbreak of bird flu is spilling over into mammals, including otters and foxes in the UK.

Figures released to the BBC show the virus has led to the death of about 208 million birds around the world and at least 200 recorded cases in mammals."

But no worries 🤡

"Public health bosses warn the mutation in mammals could see a jump to humans but the risk to the public is very low."

We're sleepwalking into another disaster...

@jessicawildfire on a roll here:

"History books will write entire chapters on the moral cowardice and cruelty of this decade. They’ll describe how liberals and progressives virtue signaled about masks until mediocre vaccines became available, then they completely abandoned every single one of their principles. They refused to accommodate new information, even when mortality rates jumped 15 percent above normal and never went back down."

Cortical Grey matter volume depletion links to neurological sequelae in post COVID-19 “long haulers”

"The results demonstrate a statistically significant depletion of CGM volume in 24 COVID-19 infected patients. Reduced CGM volume likely influences their long term neurological sequelae and may impair post COVID-19 patient’s quality of life and productivity."

"The measures to protect these billionaires, world leaders and their staff from COVID-19 were kept under wraps until leaked to the press towards the end of the assembly, raising a storm of online controversy. Statements like “Do as I say, not as I do,” “let them eat cake,” and “although we are in the same storm—the same pandemic—we are not in the same boat” are just some of the comments that have exploded on social media."
