#H5N1 updates Timely analysis of the HA sequence from the MO human case reported earlier this week by Bloom Lab HA mutation A172T* strongly affects antigenicity 👀 (* A156T [mature H5 numbering] as in CDC and World Health Organization (WHO) reports)

Another week of 1000+ new #COVID deaths reported in #USA

We've updated nextstrain.org/avian-flu with the human H5N1 sequence from Missouri, viewable at nextstrain.org/avian-flu/h5n1…. Sequence data is only available for HA, NA, MP, and NS, and the HA sequence is not complete. Still, a few observations:
