Being a bit spooked by having literally a rabid raccoon outside our house which the police ultimately decided *not* to deal with, I'm a bit anxious about animal-to-person disease transmission right now

So I've been reading a lot on h5n1 if people would like a summary of the current situation

@cwebber @wordshaper I'm much closer to an expert on this topic and your summary gets my stamp of approval (for what that's worth).

@cwebber @wordshaper if you do end up seeing information you want to share but that doesn't make sense feel free to ping me. I don't think people who follow me want to hear endlessly about disease so I don't post about it consistently but I do think it's a good medium for sharing this kind of information.

@cwebber One additional data point I saw in a Bluesky post from Seanan McGuire a few weeks ago is that it's a cat killer which is what makes me even more nervous.
