An epidemic expert reported seeing over 100 H5N1 cases, with a mortality rate of 68–69% in China and 53% in the U.S.

I'm receiving some concerning reports from China.

Staff at the Shanxi CDC estimate that 2,000 people have been infected with H5N1, with 300 deaths.

An insider at the Mainland CDC confirmed human cases and fatalities but said the exact numbers remain unclear. /1

Trudeau just showed us what a true leader looks like.

That speech was delivered with compassion and a goal towards uniting our country while still reaching out a hand in friendship towards the U.S.

He believes in our partnership & spoke directly to Canadians AND Americans. πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

We are excited about the CDC promoting N95 and KN95 as a preventive strategy against highly contagious pathogens. Our government needs to address the #LongCovid crisis and prepare for new pandemics. This message gives us hope. #MaskTogetherAmerica
