Just shipped Voronoi geometry + real urban/rural settlement networks to MemeLabV3 Ebola modeling Same parameters. Same everything. At Day 100: • Low vs High Urbanization 984-1,642 deaths The high-urbanization run burns hotter and faster (ends Day 149). thememeticist.github.io/MemeLabV3/

Side-by-side MemeLabV3 simulations using the new Voronoi geometry with urban/rural settlement networks. Left (Low Urbanization – sparse villages + rural background): epidemic ends Day 211 with 984 deaths by Day 100 (34.2% final mortality). Right (High Urbanization – dense Zipf-sized cities + high-degree hubs): epidemic ends Day 149 with 1,642 deaths by Day 100 (33.9% final mortality). Same disease parameters and seed; only urbanization level changes. Demonstrates hotspot amplification and faster burnout in dense settings.

here's the dramatic difference between CA and mean-field simulation, same assumptions: Assuming today is day 60 of the outbreak (fitted to current observed deaths), projecting 6 weeks ahead of today: • lattice: 970 🪦 • Mean-Field: 33,665 🪦 A massive 34× difference between the models!

So I volunteered here literally last week and was exposed. Filled out the state health department form and everything. No symptoms right now but that lovely cheetah that died was such a sweetie 😔 ugh

If a human-to-human transmissible #H5N1 variant with an R0=2 emerged today, starting from patient zero, it would take approximately 4 months for the entire U.S. population to be infected, assuming no interventions.

Excessive virulence can limit a virus's spread by incapacitating or killing hosts too quickly. However, in well-connected networks with large host populations, the evolutionary pressure to reduce virulence may be weak.

I don’t know, but the case of the infected teenager with #H5N1 in Canada, now a child in California, both without a known infection source is giving me bad „maybe we missed something“ vibes. I hope it is just coincidence but I am also a bit afraid something is just taking off.

Looking at the average CFR reported by each country for #H5N1, the mean sits at ~40%, with a 95% confidence interval of 25-55%. @who.int calculate the total CFR to be 49%. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_m...

The chart shows the case fatality rates (CFRs) for H5N1 influenza by country from 2003 to 2024. Each country is represented as a vertical bar, with CFR percentages along the y-axis. A green horizontal line marks the overall CFR recalculated by the WHO at 49.36%, and a red dashed line represents the average mean CFR at 40.09%. A shaded gray band illustrates the 95% confidence interval (approximately 25% to 55%). The title reads "H5N1 Influenza: Updated Case Fatality Rates (CFRs) by Country (2003–2024)." A note below mentions the WHO as the data source, emphasizing the recalculated overall CFR.

I mask everywhere. Teaching. Going to the theatre. Museums. Even haunted attractions and theme park rides. COVID shattered my life and my health. And I'm still doing better than many. I won't abandon myself or others to this virus by unmasking - no matter bans, social pressure, ridicule.

Just days after #Canada reported its first #H5N1 case, the #UnitedStates reports #BirdFlu in the first child. No known links to sick animals and not in an agricultural area either. This is on the heels of massive spikes in wastewater detections across #California.

In humans, the recent U.S. cases the use of antiviral treatments has significantly reduced mortality in many cases. However, the potential for the virus to develop resistance to these meds poses a serious risk, not a sustainable long-term solution.

This indicates that the changes found at residues 226 and 228 in the HA of the avian viruses that has transmitted to a human (BC teen) MAY have acquired the ability to recognize receptors in human trachea, which would enable human to human transmission.

Text from reputable researchers indicating the BC teen with H5N1 has acquired mutations which may make it capable of human to human transmission.

Reminding you that there is no mRNA vaccine available yet for #H5N1. The H5N1 vaccine uses an inactivated platform, still being developed in eggs. What that means? For the U.S. alone, it will take hens laying 900,000 eggs every single day for nine months. That's if the hens don't get...bird flu.

Random person message that reads Do not get the bird flu vaccine. You've been warned.

#H5N1 mutations in the sequence from the teen are hugely consequential. It looks like we are in a new pandemic, but if you are reading this you have an opportunity to be an early mover and prep

Ξpi-Yeti @thememeticist.bsky.social · 16/11/2024

The BC case is genetically close to #H5N1 strains found in wild birds in #Canada and human cases in Washington from poultry exposure. This suggests a common origin or shared transmission pathway within the region.
