Wait, are they totally not aware of the teenager up in BC with H5N1 where they’ve sequenced the strain and preliminarily found it to have the two specific mutations required to transmit easily from human to human??
Thanks for this information, I came on here to find out how they caught it, as there were no contacts that were ill. It definitely looks like the start of a pandemic😢
@@hazelfoley2098You’re jumping the gun pretty hard. The only thing we know about these mutations is that it could allow for the disease to better cling onto human receptors rather than avian ones. Clinging onto human cells does not = more transmissible. It’s the first step to become a transmissible disease. Also this mutation is dead. Let’s relax with calling it the beginning of a pandemic. It’s not inevitable, and it’s not spreading still and nobody knows when or if it will. Calm.

@@hazelfoley2098 Well now lets not totally jump the gun. First of all the mutation no longer exists as it died in the infected teen and spread to nobody else. Secondly the mutations that occured we only know could cause the disease to attach better with human cells/receptors. We have no idea if it would actually cause more transmission as adapting to receptors does not alone = more transmissible this is only the first step to getting to human transmission. A pandemic is not imminent or inevitable because of this.

🐘 There's an elephant in the room ⬅️ Is it forbidden for New Scientist journalists to question whether we should continue with animal agriculture (the cause of H5N1 bird flu)? Considering the likely result: A global pandemic. Add to that the other catastrophic effects of animal agriculture: climate change (land clearing and methane emissions) and the ill effects to humans of an animal diet (heart disease, raised cancer levels). It's not good, but somehow the cause of all this can't be spoken?
The video title is misleading, as this is a general news update and not specifically about bird flu, which I was interested in hearing more about. Video titles are great for managing viewer expectations, that is unless you plan to do something completely different instead, in which case many viewers like myself become quite frustrated and annoyed at being duped. Please do better in future and design for viewers, not the algorithm.
Texas veterinarian Dr Barbara Peterson first reported bird flu in cows back in March 2024. She takes care of 40,000 cattle in her area. She started receiving calls of sick animals from multiple Farms. Back then she said almost every Farm she visited with sick cows she also saw sick workers. They had flu-like symptoms, pink eyes and she said workers who were never sick or miss work we're now sick at home for the first time. You can Google it.
I was eating bacon, chicken, beef..went out fri to concert & sunday nite to sing karaoke. Now Wed I woke up with pink eye...first symptom of bird flu they say. Just great.
Bird flu has caused outbreaks in both animals and humans quite a few times and no pandemic has happened we will be fine. Vaccine for cows who are the main contributer to human spillovers are already being developed and could be ready by first quarter of 2025 also.
Why do they continue to ask why? Birds fly , wherever they want . Perfect delivery system, cmon guys .are you seriously blinded by media ? If i saw it coming why didnt you ? Captain Tripps
@@C_ALEB What are you even talking about? They’ve sequenced the strain he has. Number one, they’ve confirmed it to be H5N1. Number two, it looks so far to have the two mutations scientists previously identified as the ones required to transmit easily from human to human. They need to do more testing to 100% confirm the mutations but, yes indeed, those are the facts that we have right now.
@ There is quite literally zero evidence of human transmission taking place so I would love to know what evidence that doesn’t exist you’re referring to.
@@C_ALEB Are you an idiot? Human to human transmission doesn’t take place in a vacuum. All the factors have to come together. And the point you are refusing to accept is that it now looks like we may have evidence of those factors coming together. Stop being so outraged and ridiculous and read what I wrote. I never said human to human transmission was talking place, you colossal moron. I said that there was a case of a child in BC where they sequenced a strand of the virus he has. That sequencing looks as though the mutations *required as precursor* to human to human transmission have taken place. Those are the facts as we know them now.

Wondering about transmission via bird excrement; i.e. on a park bench for example.
I think we better start reading books on real nuclear war.

I would look into Methylene blue as a preventative and a cure for people and animals not in cats.

No it isn’t. Literally zero proof for such a bold claim.

@@C_ALEB You’re welcome to believe that. The evidence does not support you, though.
