JUST IN: Canada 🇨🇦 reports first human case of H5 bird flu, teenager hospitalized.
Public Health 🇨🇦 Canada confirms the teenager in the ICU with ARDs has clade 2.3.4.4b #BirdFlu.
The infected teen's sequence dropped last night. Not good news. It has PB2 E627K mutation and has mammalian adaptation like the B3.13 cattle clade. It's coming.
@SandHillThicket I decided in 2020 masks were part of my public attire. Don't see that changing anytime in the near future. This is just another reason to use good reason and a good mask.
