Coronacalls for 02.10.2025 – Bird Flu Warning Signs

Discussed in this episode:

  • A strain of bird flu not previously detected in cattle has been found in dairy herds in Nevada. It’s the same strain responsible for putting teen on life support for 6 weeks in British Columbia, and killing a man in Louisiana. 
  • Data that appeared without comment in a weekly CDC report, then disappeared without comment, suggests there may have been some  household transmission of bird flu between humans and domesticated cats.
