What the media doesn’t tell you about your risk in this #measles outbreak:
1- A well sealed respirator { #N95 } is needed to keep from breathing in this virus
2- If you’ve had covid, your immune system is damaged. Now any kind of infection is likely to be more severe.
3- Measles is #airborne. So is #influenza, #norovirus, #SARS2, #RSV, #tuberculosis, #monkeypox . Virus can spread in a vacant room hours after the infected person leaves. See #1 - wear an N95 / FFP2.
4- Good hygiene is always a good idea. This includes air hygiene.

In the News:
#Norovirus Rampant, worse than seen before

What you need to know:
In addition to being contact, food, & water-borne, it’s also #airborne. So if you want to SKIP THE VOMIT, you’ll need donn that #N95 respirator mask - in addition to washing your hands and avoiding contaminated foods.

The kicker:
If you’ve had covid, your immune system won’t be able to fight off norovirus like it did before. You are now more susceptible to any type of infection.

It’s been a rough start to 2025, hasn’t it? Take care out there!

Bovine Vet · New Study Says Domestic Cats Need To Be Evaluated More For HPAI H5N1 ImplicationsThe report echoes calls by other scientists to ramp up the surveillance of felines, which are susceptible to the virus and have a high mortality rate. The AVMA says several cases in cats linked to poultry or wild bird exposure had been reported before the outbreak began in dairy cows last spring.

The USA reports it’s first fatal #H5N1 infection - the Louisiana woman who had been recently hospitalized with severe #Avian #influenza

The US has reported 66 human H5N1 cases since the start of 2024. Most of these were of the clade circulating in dairy herds. But both this Louisiana fatality and the hospitalized teen in Canada had the type of H5N1 found in wild birds.
