A person in Washington State who kept backyard poultry has died from #H5N5 #flu. The person was the first known infection with this subtype of flu globally & the second recorded death in the US from an #H5 flu virus. Health authorities say there's no evidence the person spread the virus to others.

Ich hatte mal überschlagen, dass eine ca. 2-3 Woche spätere Reaktion in D ca. 60.000 zusätzliche Todesfälle bedeutet hätte. Das scheint wohl mit dieser Schätzung aus UK übereinzustimmen.

Die PA Meldung hätte man auch einordnen können. Es ist nicht nur "Lehrmeinung", sondern es ist jede Evidenz. Das sollte noch viel klarer dort stehen.

I want to spell this out in case the implications aren't clear:
This means all public tools/webapps of GISAID data (all the ones you've been used to seeing thru the pandemic, as far as we can tell) are prohibited.
The file allowed this. Cut that - cut off all tools the public & others were using.

On Oct 1, 2025, GISAID informed us that they had ended updates to the flat file of SARS-CoV-2 genomic sequences and associated metadata that we had used to update Nextstrain analyses since Feb 2020. GISAID's stated rationale was that their "resources are limited". 1/5
