Canadian teen who became critically ill with #HPAI #H5N1 first sought medical treatment on Nov. 4. After intensive care with multiple anitvirals, intubation, and ECMO, it was Dec 18 by the time she could come off supplemental oxygen.
Meanwhile, H5N1 continues to spread worldwide in wild birds and into poultry and has resulted in significant mortality of mammalian wildlife, and a variant that seems milder in exposed humans has adapted to dairy cows. No government on Earth is prepared for what happens if the highly virulent strain of H5N1 adapts to transmission in humans. Unless it loses virulence, IMO it will be our modern version *not* of the 1918 flu, but rather of the Black Plague. https://globalnews.ca/news/10938653/b-c-teen-avian-flu-patient-recovers-oxygen/
