Well… the awful thing that happened a while back? The people in power that did it… have decided it is not in anyone’s interest to know about it.
What a surprise.
Moving on…

Someone actually presented the case… with a straight face… that echo chambers make you stupid (their words not mine), used “right wing” “left wing” as examples… and said that we should use slow careful thought to form prior something or another…
Yeah. BUT

partner woke up from 6 hours’ sleep swollen and panicking and here’s a fun thing you shouldn’t have to say to EMTs who won’t mask before coming inside to check someone for MCAS-related anaphylaxis: “okay, if you’re fine bringing in a disabling disease!!”
reader, they still did not mask.

Can anyone give me one sensible reason why the world hasn’t forked out the money to offer vaccines to every adult and kid that hunts bushmeat? For mpox etc?
This is a problem that does not need to exist.

Luckily, all of the healthcare workers were properly attired in fit tested N95 masks. We learned THAT lesson in the "last" pandemic. *WHEW*

You probably shouldn’t rely on symptoms alone to look for novel virus spread.
We have no idea what the asymptomatic spreader potential is… although… until it adapts more… it may be low.
I would do PCR tests a few days apart, and serology at day 10-14.

This was the H5N5 patient.
"Public health officials are continuing to monitor anyone who was in contact with the patient — including more than 100 health care workers — for symptoms to ensure that human-to-human spread has not occurred."

It’s just an impossible situation, so I think your attitude is spot on! Every infection we avoid has value. I hope someday there are more institutional responses to reduce the individual burden.

Well… whatever that illness was, it does not seem to have caused others to become unwell… so the HEPA tactic with masks in shared spaces worked pretty well, but…
I think I got exposed before they realised they had symptoms… and ->
