Maybe moving with migrating birds? Seems there are a few wastewater hits in Oregon, too -- via CDC monitoring (and one in NJ)

No biggie, but noticing a few #H5N1 #BirdFlu wastewater "hits" in the SF Bay Area: Palo Alto, San Jose and Sunnyvale. 🤔

USDA finally added the #H5N1 #BirdFlu infected herds I'd heard about (2 weeks ago) to its list, bringing CA's total to 754; 983 across 17 states. Meanwhile domestic cats are getting pummeled -- APHIS' list shows last 10 entries were all cats.

FWIW, signs of #H5N1 #BirdFlu in CA's wastewater is pretty sporadic and low. So, even though I've been told there are 5 more presumptive #H5N1 #BirdFlu dairy herds in CA (total=753), things don't seem as hot as they did a month or two ago.

CDC confirms CA child's #H5N1 case. Per press release: "55 human cases of H5 bird flu have now been reported in the United States during 2024, with 29 in California." CDC website does not reflect this. Anyone know what the other CA case is?? (My count is 28 human in CA, 54 total)

Ooof. Count is now 178 positive #H5N1 herds in CA. 380 herds across 14 states since March. And Turlock's wastewater is climbing (see line graph) for H5 (also a new wastewater hit in SE SF). #wastewaterscan

It's been a few days, but the #H5N1 cases are still rising in CA -- both dairy and human. 105 dairy herds and 6 confirmed human workers (+5 presumptive). Here's a photo from last Thursday's drive thru Tipton:

Procrastinating while writing, I looked at my stats on Audible. I can't decide if listening to books for a grand total of 4 months, 20 days, 17 hours and 19 minutes over the past 10 years was time wasted -- or not enough.

I'm walking out today (remotely) with my colleagues at the LA Times. Management is threatening to eviscerate our newsroom in a manner that can only be described opaque, callous and cruel; with little concern about the communities and we serve. We all deserve better.

Struggling with climate depression? The dread of watching catastrophe after catastrophe can be overwhelming. I started a worm farm. Composting kitchen waste, feeding living creatures, and creating fertilizer for my garden has provided a small solace. What do you do?
