Latest bird flu infection made farmworker sicker than earlier cases – STAT

“What the presence of respiratory symptoms tells us is that the exposure risk is higher,” CDC Deputy Director Nirav Shah said at a news conference Thursday. “Simply put, someone who’s coughing may be more likely to transmit the virus than someone who has an eye infection like conjunctivitis.”

The worker was given flu antiviral drugs and is recovering. “The individual was not hospitalized. We would characterize this as a mild illness,” Bagdasarian said in an interview with STAT.

She said the farmworker was caring for sick cows and had a significant amount of exposure to the animals. Likewise, the previous Michigan case had had milk from an infected cow splash into his eye. “This is not walking past an infected animal. This is not a very transient or limited exposure,” Bagdasarian said.

The CDC said the individual was instructed to isolate, and household contacts were also offered antiviral drugs. Asked whether the contacts agreed to take the drugs, Bagdasarian sidestepped the question, noting that people have the right to choose whether or not they wish to comply.

“In general, all of this is voluntary. We don’t have any requirements that folks either must wear PPE in certain situations, that they must undergo testing, that they must receive Tamiflu,” she said, stressing that achieving compliance requires creating a rapport between public health workers and the individuals with whom they are interacting. She noted that over the course of Michigan’s response to the H5N1 situation, several people have refused to be tested and several have refused the offer of antiviral drugs.

“I Don’t Believe in Global Warming” by Banksy | STREET ART UTOPIA

Street art has long been a powerful medium for social and political commentary, and few artists have harnessed its potential quite like Banksy.

Known for his provocative and often subversive pieces, Banksy continues to challenge societal norms and highlight pressing global issues. One such piece, titled “I Don’t Believe in Global Warming,” remains particularly poignant in today’s climate-sensitive world.
