Very informative! Thank you, sir.

[@WhiteboardMedicine]

Glad to hear that! We appreciate the kind words and for checking out the video!

[@greatedges]

Have human cases increased in other parts of the world? Seems as though this might be important information with regards to future spread everywhere. Thanks for the excellent report. It is fascinating to "follow a virus," especially one that is killing birds and/or infecting other animals, and with implications for humans as well.

[@WhiteboardMedicine]

Thanks for checking out the video and for commenting! There have been a spattering of cases worldwide in 2024 including India, Australia, Cambodia, Vietnam, Philippines, and Canada but low numbers throughout. The U.S. has had the most human cases. Whether that is related to increased testing in the U.S. is unclear

[@old_grey_cat]

You are getting better at saying "neuraminidase," so we are all learning!

[@WhiteboardMedicine]

😂😂😂

[@Nanzanita]

Has there been any further detection in pigs? I read there was one pig.

[@WhiteboardMedicine]

Great question! As far as we are aware, it has not been detected in other pigs. More info in the video below if you haven’t seen it yet! H5N1 Bird Flu Found In A Pig - Virologists Voicing Concern? kzbin.info/www/bejne/o32rl6qmibaiZsk

[@marklemont3735]

There was a small family farm where the poultry and some of their pigs had H5N1 in the US, last year.

[@Nanzanita]

@@marklemont3735 We had one pig get sick here in Oregon, at the end of October.

[@holliegh31977]

I have been researching and studying bird flu since 1998- h5n1- it has been acting very different since it got to the usa in feb of 2021.

[@WhiteboardMedicine]

Thanks for sharing and for checking out the video!

[@elkegreiser1799]

That's because we have been under the order of the gene therapy. A lot more of viruses will show up. The fucked us up very good! But as long they can earne lots of money they won't change. It's up to us.

[@James-ke5sx]

That was interesting. India has over 5 million sacred stray cows freely wandering around in one of the most populated countries on Earth. What could possibly go wrong?

[@ctjmaughs]

They don't raise cows and have other animals like birds around them.

[@James-ke5sx]

@@ctjmaughs India's cattle inventory was 308 million In 2023. Perhaps you should check your statistics more carefully. And like I said India has over 5 million sacred cows which are untouchable according to their religion. And they are freely wandering through the second most populated country in the entire world spreading disease everywhere.

[@WhiteboardMedicine]

Interesting!

[@krissyr3393]

I don't think they feed them on chicken poop. Think people would have learned from mad cow disease.

[@mballer]

25:10 Test more for what reason? To turn it into a pandemic? Make it make sense to me. Sounds like they already know a large percentage have been infected, rather than testing for more infection test the people who barely felt it when they got sick and figure out what they were doing with their body that kept them healthy.

[@old_grey_cat]

How would testing "turn it into a pandemic"? Testing in this situation would, as I recall, give an idea of the extent and speed of spread and the range and degrees of symptoms for each of the variants. This informs decisions on health department responses. The sort of study you suggest is routine, though not quite in the form you suggest. Your comment seems to assume assume it isn't past infections/vaccinations, initial viral load, means of transmission, and/or genetics behind individual differences in the humans and in the other animals. Do you include these matters and the extent of humans' compliance with PPE advice in "what they were doing with their body"?

[@mballer]

@old_grey_cat The same way we got the last pandemic by focusing on testing rather than treating, It was test then go home and die. The type of tests I suggest are blood and stamina. At the top of the list would be vitamin d. Obsessive viral testing is indicative of a mentally ill medical system.

[@mballer]

@old_grey_cat Adding to it, the swabs up the nose likely helped spread it by breaking through the mucosal barrier and jamming the virus straight against tissue.

[@old_grey_cat]

@mballer Unlikely.

[@mballer]

@@old_grey_cat unlikely what?

[@brocksprogramming]

I think it might be spreading because people in my life have gotten conjunctivitis, including myself. And I only usually get it if I don't wash my hands.❤

[@WhiteboardMedicine]

Hopefully not but that conjunctivitis was definitely present in the large majority of cases. Thanks for sharing and for checking out the video!

[@TeaBowDuckz]

Are you seriously suggesting all farmers with chickens and cattle wear PPE around their livestock? And also advocating for federal regulation PPE adherence private farms? I’m a medical professional but that’s a hard no for me. I’m in medicine, but thats an unrealistic hard no for ne.

[@WhiteboardMedicine]

We never intend to provide suggestions on things outside of our scope, like the use of PPE around livestock. As far as we are aware, current recommendations do suggest PPE when around infected livestock, which seems reasonable. With that being said, we don’t work on a farm and thus have no expertise on what is or is not appropriate when working around infected animals or livestock in general

[@TeaBowDuckz]

@ (: that makes sense. Thanks for all you do.

[@mballer]

Did the dead cats have low vitamin d levels? Were any blood tests done on the dead cats to see wha deficiencies they had?

[@WhiteboardMedicine]

As far as we are aware, no blood tests were done on the cats that were dead, but we could be wrong on that!

[@mballer]

What did the humans die from? Did they put them in a hyperbaric oxygen chamber? Did they give active vitamin d as a treatment? Did they measure vitamin d levels? Has nothing been learned over the past 5 years?

[@WhiteboardMedicine]

Only one human in the U.S. has died from bird flu since this outbreak started! Thanks for checking out another video!

[@mballer]

Aerosolized oregano oil as PPE.

[@anymoose6685]

Aerosolized oil is very bad for the lungs.

[@mballer]

@anymoose6685 where did you get that idea?

[@mballer]

​@anymoose6685 No answer? Did you just make it up yourself?
