#CDC reports 6 more child deaths from #flu

Parents not warned that #covid damages immune system. #Doctors refuse to #N95 mask to halt transmission. https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/influenza-general/cdc-reports-6-more-child-deaths-flu-virus-levels-stay-moderate-high #SamaraVirus #Samara

It’s not too late to grow up and put on a well-fitting respirator in a #healthcare facility

A wave of cat deaths from #BirdFlu prompts new rules from the USDA and FDA on pet food production

“…it’s the DEATH of the CAPTIVE CATS, say scientists, that should concern #PublicHealth authorities. It’s a sign that the VIRUS is GETTING INTO the COMMERCIAL MEAT and MILK supply”

In the News:
#Norovirus Rampant, worse than seen before

What you need to know:
In addition to being contact, food, & water-borne, it’s also #airborne. So if you want to SKIP THE VOMIT, you’ll need donn that #N95 respirator mask - in addition to washing your hands and avoiding contaminated foods.

The kicker:
If you’ve had covid, your immune system won’t be able to fight off norovirus like it did before. You are now more susceptible to any type of infection.

It’s been a rough start to 2025, hasn’t it? Take care out there!

Experts call for more surveillance of #H5N1 in domestic #cats

Cats have been dying from both bird & cow clades of avian #influenza. Could they be a reservoir for virus evolution & transmission to mammals?

AVMA advises #N95 PPE to prevent spreading #HPAI; cat mortality rate is up to 67%

A day after the United States reported its first human death from avian #flu, the UN World Health Organization (#WHO) insisted on Tuesday that the risk to the wider population remains “low”

“a lot of surveillance”

“Underlying conditions”

Insist. A lot. Underlying conditions. Minimize.

#Novavax effectiveness so far:

October 2023 Scientific American:
Novavax is about as effective as #mRNA #SarsCov2 #vaccines for preventing death, hospitalization, and symptoms in the acute phase of #COVID19 infection.
Novavax is less likely to cause side effects after injection.
