Corona Calls for 04.29.2024 – H5N1 Bird Flu in Milk
Manage episode 415430186 series 3464906
Discussed in this episode:
- Testing has found viral DNA from H5N1 Avian Influenza in samples representing about 20% of the American milk supply, suggesting the virus could be much more widespread in this country’s dairy herds than previously reported.
- New research reduced the transmission of SARS-COV2 and influenza by swabbing the nostrils of mice and hamsters with antibiotic ointment. The the ointment isn’t anti-viral, it appears to trigger a response by the cells’ innate immune system that increases production of interferons.
- Dr. Swartzberg’s thoughts on how a layperson can recognize an unreliable medical paper.
