Update : In just two months (October through the end of November), ~10% of the crane population along the Western European migration route (out of ~420k) died from H5N1 avian influenza. Let that sink in. biorxiv.org/content/10.64898…
Record-high avian influenza reports in wild birds this month (11/2025), mainly in Germany. I’m trying to understand how much reflects the truly severe situation vs testing/reporting biases. Any insights, data, or local context would be very welcome. (📈based on empres-i data)

Wisconsin's health department reports that 2 children have died from respiratory illnesses — one each from #Covid & #flu. Pediatric vaccination rates for the former have always been low & for the latter have declined of late. Protect the kids, folks. dhs.wisconsin.gov/news/relea…

Großartige Nachrichten, dass auch in Salzburg eine normalere Versorgung für ME/CFS auf Schiene kommt!
on.orf.at/video/14304024/160… Es tut sich was! Das ist v. a. dem Engagement der Salzburger Selbsthilfegruppe und den Grünen zu verdanken. Alle, die von ME/CFS in Salzburg betroffen sind, bekommen damit nun hoffentlich bald die hochwertige medizinische Versorgung, die ihnen zusteht!

A #WestNilevirus infection has occurred for the first time in #Switzerland, specifically in #Ticino. It was an “expected event”, the Ticino Department of Health and Social Affairs announced on Thursday. The virus had already been detected in mosquitoes monitored by the University of Applied Sciences in Ticino. Its spread was also known in north-east Italy. Ticino had been preparing for the first case of West Nile virus for some time.
