Wow. NEJM just released this letter that provides most extensive detail so far about dairy worker in Texas who was infected with H5N1 bird flu. Eye so RED. Worker was not wearing eye or respiratory protection.
NEW: Latest tests from FDA show milk, other dairy products-cottage cheese + sour cream-confirm that pasteurization inactivates H5N1 bird flu. USDA also sampling ground beef at stores in states where dairy cows have tested +. @rachel_roubein and me. washingtonpost.com/health/2024/05…
Deleted and updating my last tweet on CDC's test. This was one lot of an established test where the manufacturing was being outsourced. Not the same as what happened in Zika and Covid, so shouldn't be lumped in with past woes. The core test still works x.com/Alexander_Tin/…

UPDATE bird flu virus fragments in milk on grocery shelves. FDA said 1 in 5 samples they tested in national survey tested positive for H5N1. But those tests don’t indicate whether virus is active or dead. Even w these results, FDA reiterates milk supply is safe.

NEW: As bird flu spreads in cows, U.S. response has echoes of early covid. Testing of cows too limited. Results + studies not shared fast enough. Genetic analysis of H5N1 suggests outbreak started months before it was noticed. w @rachel_roubein washingtonpost.com/health/2024/04…
NEW: U.S. requires more dairy cows tested for bird flu as viral concerns grow. Until now, testing has been voluntary, and limited to cows with symptoms, which has drawn criticism from public health experts. @FenitN and me. washingtonpost.com/health/2024/04…
IMPORTANT NEWS: Bird flu virus fragments found in grocery milk, not necessarily a threat to human health, but suggests virus is more widespread in cows than previously thought. w @rachel_roubein @ddiamond. washingtonpost.com/health/2024/04…
Oops should be @ddiamond !!
NEW: Pieces of the bird flu virus have been found in milk from grocery shelves, a finding that does not necessarily suggest threat to humans but indicates virus is more widespread in cows that previously though. Me, @rachelroubein @DanDiamondMD washingtonpost.com/health/2024/04…
Important story—people want to move on from the pandemic but countries need to take these critical steps to prevent the next one. @FrancesSSellers

ICYMI: Now that bird flu has gone from cows in U.S. to a dairy worker, we look at how prepared the U.S. is for a bird flu pandemic. Vaccines, antiviral meds, and surveillance are key. @rachel_roubein and me. washingtonpost.com/health/2024/04…
NEW: Now that we know bird flu has infected humans, we took a look at how prepared the U.S. is for a bird flu pandemic. @rachel_roubein and me. washingtonpost.com/health/2024/04…
UPDATED with more information.
NEW: The other shoe has dropped. Bird flu now detected in person who had contact with infected dairy cattle in Texas. This is worrisome, experts say. our story. washingtonpost.com/health/2024/04…
Great story by @ddiamond that explains why a health insurance program that 45 million Americans depend on—and that GOP demonized—is now so popular that Dems can now tout ACA’s many benefits on the stump. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
UPDATE: USDA incorrectly reported presumptive positive bird flu #hpai in dairy cows in Ohio, officials said. So it’s 5 affected states: Texas, Kansas, and now Michigan, Idaho and New Mexico. “Cow-to-cow transmission definitely playing a role,” Idaho state vet tells me.

NEW: A highly virulent bird flu first detected in dairy cows in Texas and Kansas this week has spread to additional herds, bringing the number of affected states to six and adding evidence the virus may be spreading cow-to-cow. My story. washingtonpost.com/health/2024/03…

. @bylenasun was right: @CDCgov is dropping its advice that people with #Covid isolate for 5 days. It's now recommending people with Covid, #flu, #RSV, etc stay home till they've gone 24 hours with improving symptoms and without a fever. statnews.com/2024/03/01/cdc…

Reporting and social media posts about childhood pneumonia and “white lung” has been mired with inaccuracies and false conflation Here’s a 🧵 on how erroneous reports of an outbreak in Massachusetts took hold and how we scrutinized and dispelled the claim
Be vigilant about what you read about childhood pneumonia and “white lung” (which I could do a whole other thread on why it’s a misleading and misused term) Here’s a paywall-free link to my article w/ @bylenasun about what’s true and false wapo.st/3uGXuqr
Fascinating read that highlights the detective work involved in a public health response to infectious disease threats.
