Official H5N1 (Bird Flu) Thread

I saw contagion already. I didn't need the Trump RFK bird flu remix.

This mutation represents a clear warning signal. PB2 E627K enhances viral replication in mammalian hosts by optimizing the polymerase enzyme for functionality at human body temperatures (~37°C). This adaptation lowers the species barrier, enabling the virus to replicate efficiently in humans, a critical step toward zoonotic spillover and potential sustained transmission.
In practical terms, this mutation marks a possible tipping point where the virus could circulate efficiently among humans if other factors align, such as efficient binding to human upper respiratory tract receptors (α2,6-linked sialic acids)

apparently we are 1 more mutation away from full blown human transmission

5 years later in December. Perfect timing

Let's see what excuses the incoming admin makes. They gotta deal with the whole thing this time

RED ALARM on H5N1. Data dump late last night from the BC teen shows that the sequence has picked up the necessary mutation needed for adequate transmission among human hosts. It’s got PB2 E627K. The same mutation that 1918 Spanish influenza had. We’re going to have a pandemic. Buckle up.

@bnew @88m3 I know yall are following this


I’m seeing very specific language being used to show this is not good:

Not good, not good at all. H5N1 is nasty. Highly pathogenic in birds and has one hell of a human mortality rate weighing in at 54%. H5N1 is the bad one...

Reading through some Bluesky stuff. I don't think we will have a Pandemic at the moment, because it seems that everyone who has been getting sick... has been getting it from contact with other Animals, mostly Cows. Until there is spread from Human to Human, then it be more worrisome, which can still happen but right now everyone that's been getting sick has been getting it from animals.

The problem is we’re one mutation away.

And at a 54% case fatality rate, that could implicate that billions of people will just die from this.

The scary part in the incoming administrations lack of fukks to give

Dairy herds positive with H5N1 avian flu—505 herds in 15 states. It’s not fizzling out. Worrisome.

I was talking to my mom about this and her being super religious was just like the lord about to take people out for their choices again

Hope yall still wearing your masks outchea

But seriously though, never step outside without it.


Smart people are masking up. That’s all you need to know if you’re even slightly on the fence.


I also suggest everyone get on Bluesky. You get still see what actual researchers, doctors and other medical professionals are saying, no filter.

I’d rather be plugged into what they’re saying than what someone on twitter is saying off the top of their dome.
