Here it is, the TED conversation:Misconceptions about bats and viruses.
We talked about #Ebola, #Nipah, #Covid_19, #OneHealth, #ecosystems, #vaccines, wildlife trade, and why you should love #bats, not fear them💕🦇
Thanks @TEDxUCLA for the opportunity!

"The immediate risk to the public’s health from H5N1 bird flu, which remains low."
It is not low for the scientists.
#H5N1 #Birdflu
CDC confirms first severe case of H5N1 Bird Flu in the U.S. While an investigation into the source of the infection is ongoing, it has been determined that the patient had exposure to sick and dead birds in backyard flocks.
No person-to-person spread of H5 bird flu has been detected. This case does not change CDC’s overall assessment of the immediate risk to the public’s health from H5N1 bird flu, which remains low.

Congratulations, #Brazil, on being re-verified free of measles, rubella and congenital rubella syndrome. With this achievement, the Americas regains its status as a region free of endemic #measles.
My thanks to President @LulaOficial and Health Minister @nisia_trindade for your leadership and commitment to #HealthForAll.

H5N1
50 human cases, 475 livestock herds affected and 16 states hit.
This is just the beginning.
Without decisive action, these numbers will be a whisper compared to the roar of devastation coming.

The birth of a pandemic is so quiet you might miss it.
A silent seed planting itself in the world, set to grow into something uncontainable.

This is extremely concerning about #H5N1 #AvianFlu in #Canada for a number of reasons
- young person with no known comorbidities in critical condition
- source unknown
Will be important to
- understand clinical symptoms and natural history of disease
- treatments given
- status of any contacts
- sequence of patients isolate
