Opinion: Why the New Human Case of Bird Flu Is So Alarming and the need for better monitoring

Mon, 2024-06-03 11:13 — mike kraft

The third human case of H5N1, reported on Thursday in a farmworker in Michigan who was experiencing respiratory symptoms, tells us that the current bird flu situation is at a dangerous inflection point.

The virus is adapting in predictable ways that increase its risk to humans, reflecting our failure to contain it early on. The solutions to this brewing crisis — such as comprehensive testing — have been there all along, and they’re becoming only more important. If we keep ignoring the warning signs we have only ourselves to blame.

Study: Truthful yet misleading Facebook posts drove COVID vaccine reluctance much more than outright lies did Today in Science, a study shows that unflagged, factual but misleading Facebook posts reduced the intent to receive the COVID-19 vaccine 46 times more than did false posts flagged by fact-checkers as misinformation, which the authors say points to the need to consider the reach and impact of content rather than just its veracity.

Pedople with disabilities still struggle as public COVID precautions fade away

Mon, 2024-06-03 09:43 — mike kraft

As COVID precautions vanish, people with disabilities struggle with safety and isolation The pace of COVID fatalities in the U.S. has slowed significantly, with the nation’s death toll standing at more than 1 million people.
