Zhang Yongzhen is one of the heroes of the COVID-19 pandemic. He deserves recognition. The Chinese government should promote him as role model instead of making his life hard.

The treatment of Zhang Yongzhen is shameful

His open sharing of the SARS CoV-2 genome with Eddie Holmes undoubtedly saved lives because it allowed very rapid mobilization of vaccinologists producing test vaccine candidates

Dr. Diana Hernandez I mean, this seems concerning. Am I wrong in feeling that?

Colorado joins the list of states with confirmed #H5N1 #birdflu outbreaks in dairy cows. Now 9 confirmed states, 34 confirmed outbreaks.
Bizarrely, there have only been 2 new outbreaks added to the list this week. Must be little testing underway.

The concern and larger epizootic effect is with H5N1, but if I had to pick a personal #influenza villain... one to just hate... it's these avian H9N2s found in Egyptian fruit bats.
