Scientists are on alert for signs the virus is adapting to spread more easily among humans, after the WHO announced the death from April
The World Health Organization (WHO) has said a man’s death in Mexico was caused by a strain of bird flu called H5N2 that has never before been found in a human.
The WHO said Wednesday it wasn’t clear how the person became infected. “Although the source of exposure to the virus in this case is currently unknown, A(H5N2) viruses have been reported in poultry in Mexico,” WHO said in a statement.
Scientists are on alert for changes in the virus that could signal that bird flu is adapting to spread more easily among humans.
Also a reminder that México had a high death rate due to goverment refusing to buy vaccines in time, the president spreading disinformation (masks do nothing, keep hugging each other, people aren't sick, hospitals are not full, etc), last year they bought outdated ones and also keep trying to reuse expired ones by just changing the labels.
Btw that's the same party most people on lemmy were cheering on their victory a couple days ago only because they claim to be from the left and yes, that same woman who won was guilty of this and using ivermectin so... Better start mourning for us.
